I want to thank Ben and Mena, Six Apart, and Vox for a lovely home here for the past year or so. I really like this blogging platform, but I decided I'd prefer to host my blog on Leoville.com, so new posts will now go to


http://leoville.com/blog

I'll keep this Vox blog alive as long as they'll let me because I have numerous videos and images hosted here and I don't want to lose them. Every post here has been moved to the new blog, however, as have all my posts from a variety of old blogs going back to 2001. Some of the older posts make for pretty good reading.

See you there!

I thought I'd just stop by the AT&T store at noon just to see if there was a line. There was, and fearing I wouldn't get a phone in time to review it for Saturday's radio show I got out my folding chair and joined the line as number 13. Six hours later I got my iPhone. This is the last video from my poor old Nokia N95.

I'm in the middle of the radio show so I'll make this brief. I can't search on Google. In Firefox, Safari, and directly from the Google site I get the same error message:

Google 403 Screen Cap
Google 403 Screen Cap
Even when I supply the captcha it refuses to perform the search.

Has anyone seen this before? This is bizarre! It's only happening on my Mac. The PC on the same network works fine. Must be something I'm running on the Mac. (Stickam? Wakoopa?)

So don't tell Henry and Abby but we were thinking of getting a dog. These are papillons. They can come home in two weeks. What do you think?

The one we want to take home is the black-faced one Jennifer picks up in this video. If we do take him home this will probably be the first of many videos.

I had a little time to kill before my flight to LA today, so I was finally able to stroll through the early audio exhibit in the United concourse at SFO (on the way to gates 76-90). Lots of interesting historic items including this first videotape recorder. When Apmex showed this to television executives in 1956 they gave it a standing ovation.

The exhibit is Dolby heavy - practically everything is on loan from Dolby Labs, including the Ampex. Ray Dolby was on the team that invented it - but well worth the 20 minute stroll.

I ran into Morgan Webb at the airport this evening. I was on my way to Vancouver to tape The Lab. She was just arriving from LA. I haven't seen Morgan in three years, but there's always a bond between ex-TechTVers!

Morgan!

I'm getting some really great stills with my new Nokia N93i (on loan from Vox). Can't wait to see what the N95 I've ordered can do.
