If you have a Sprint PPC-6700 (Verizon XV-6700), one of the things that you’ll find (or shall I say lose) is that it’s easy to lose your stylus. It’s a great device, but stylus storage could use a better design. I’ve learned to carry my phone with my finger on the stylus so that it [...]
Okay, it’s my fault. I broke it. As I tested my Talkr podcast, I broke my Feedburner feeds. So sorry to all you RSS feeders.
What happened?
All my feeds are forwarded to FeedBurner. This allows me to better manage my feed statistics as well as offload the [minimal] feed bandwidth. When I Talkr-enabled my site, I [...]

Well, I’ve finally done it. I’m now officially podcasting.
(Okay, maybe I should probably say that it’s in beta.) I’m using the Talkr blog-to-podcast service. It automatically converts my entire blog into an audio podcast. This means I don’t have to say a word!
