Another Holiday dinner today, and those of you with even a few months of married life experience will recognize the tradeoffs involoved there. As a result, not nearly enough time online to keep up with what’s going on. Even worse, not nearly enough time to play with a few new Santa toys, namely a Dell Axim 51v. The real motivation is to get it running with Skype and develop the skill of getting online discretely in places like Panera Bread or other WiFi Hotspots as I travel. Plus, I have to admit that the color display was a real improvement in the simple realm of PDA from the Palm V that filled the role for several years.
Thanks to Vern Hart for his comments on the Frappr page. Vern has been one of the original underwriters and supporters for SlashdotReview, and his comments are especially valued concerning the length and style of the advertising content on the program. I know they are shared by many. As you can tell, I’ve made some changes in that area along with several other TechPodcast Network affiliates.
Here’s what you can do to keep improving the program: The new Podtrac survey will really help get the information that we need to balance various factors – directly including advertising content in the podcast. Listener response in that survey is a tremendous help. Hope you can complete it some time in the next few days – or if you already have done so… Thank you very much .

A new addition to the site at SDR.com , an array of MobilCast Qualified handsets. The engineers at Melodeo run handsets through the mill and qualify them for the MobilCast service. The list changes every few days, as Sony Ericsson and Nokia enhance and obsolete various model numbers. I’ll try to keep it up to date.
Thanks to Pete Murry of Laporte PA for a video clip that he posted as his photo on the Frappr page. Right next to Rob’s dignified photo. If you are a fan of the TV show NCIS, this is a DiNozo moment from the animal world. It is worth the trip to the page, watch the penguin carefully.
About a year ago I found a great WGBH Boston TV program that I have linked before about the music business called “The Way the Music Died” If you want to really understand why indy music is a part of SDR, take time to stream the program on the site.
Steve Holden, always on the alert, has forwarded a link for a snow blower that should be featured on an entire episode of Home Improvement. Binford Manufacturing would love this one: Bona Fide designed from the ground up around a big block Chevy V-8 : The manufacturer’s quote “.you¹ll never get bored with the job as the 454 cubic inch big block Chevrolet V8 produces 412 horsepower, 430 foot pounds of torque and can throw snow 50 feet at just 3500 rpm . Plus heated grips and turns on a dime. Links and a photo on the site for those interested. Still can’t figure out how a podcaster in San Diego has such in depth knowledge..
