    Apple has recently announced that they are going to make a play to bring textbooks  to the iPad and attempt to reduce some of the burdens set out by an aging educational system. Granted, most of the cases they brought up were in fact typical of the American educational system, but many of the issues…

    This special French edition of the DadCast was recorded on Tuesday November 9th TWENTY TEN with Alexis Corneiller of Montreal’s Ile Sans Fils project and stems from some discussions we were having on Twitter about the idea of a PodCast Café.

    Are you getting tired of these request too? I’ve had just about enough of it and seriously thinking of dropping Skype altogether for good. The problem is not about one occasional spam message. The real problem is what they are not doing to protect it’s users.

    We recently started toying with the idea of putting together a DadCast, a 2FatDads podcast, so I dusted off the old mic stand and put away my reels of spliced tape and decided to put WireTap Pro to the test of recording a Skype conference call between three or more of the Fat Dads.

    If you are a pro photographer, you should probably stop reading now, unless you really need a good laugh. I finally plonked down the required fundage to buy myself some street cred in the camera department. Of course this means that all my photography skills are yet to come.  For a bit of back ground,…

    This weekend Revision3 was hit hard by a DoS that deprived me and countless others from enjoying Veronica Belmont, Patrick Norton, and the Digg Crew’s awesome and FREE as in Beer HD content.
