Record Desktop Video
Written by: JuanchitoAnyone used Cam Studio to record them doing something? I think I need to use this at work to record some training for staff. Anyone know of anything better than Cam Studio for this?
Men’s List for Women
Written by: JuanchitoYes, I think this was a forward from someone. I usually send whoever sent me a forward an email reprimanding them for wasting my time with what I equate to spam. Most people take it ok when I tell them that I get the same thing over and over and it’s just annoying.
Well, this one is just too funny to not post. I hope my wife reads this post.

Sweet Mosaic
Written by: JuanchitoI wish I knew how they did this mosaic (long load time). It’s pretty incredible. Anyone know of some software that will make mosaics? I’d love something that would do that.
30 Open Source Software
Written by: JuanchitoI love open source software. Video editing software is the only software I’ve had to purchase in a long time. Here’s 30 other reasons to love open source software. You can get almost any software out there open source these days. It’s one of the most significant software advancements of this century.
Mormon Digg – Sustain’d
Written by: JuanchitoA while back I came across what is basically a Mormon digg for news items called Sustain’d. I thought the idea was really interesting, but I’ve really wondered if the market is big enough for mormons to use a site like this. I’d love to see it work well, but I have my doubts that it is a big enough niche market.
Also, I’m not sure why the person coded the site from the ground up as opposed to just taking Pligg and making it work.
Writing Code the Right Way
Written by: JuanchitoHow many of you have read Getting Real: The Book by 37signals? I’ve seen this referenced so many places on the web, but I’ve never gotten around to reading it myself. I think I’m going to add it to my links so that I add it to my regular reading. I really think that 37signals does some amazing work. I also love that the book is free online.
Microsoft’s Photosynth Is Amazing
Written by: JuanchitoI know this is old news. I already told you I’m going through the drafts on my blog. Photosynth is still one of the coolest things I’ve seen. The idea of being able to take a bunch of photos and create a 3D representation of a place is an incredible idea. I hope that Microsoft is able to make things like this a reality.
Entrepreneurs Who Don’t Want Venture Capital
Written by: JuanchitoA while back I ran across a blog called Credit Card VC. I thought they had an interesting concept on how you could create a business without having to go and get VC funding. I think a lot can be learned from this concept. I still think that the point is partially missed. This guy still needs some sort of funding to scale the business, but the point that for a relatively small amount of money you should be able to create a simplified version of your site and do a serious market test is a great concept. This is what I plan to do with my idea.
Steve Wozniak Interview
Written by: JuanchitoI don’t know what it is about Steve Wozniak or “Woz” but I absolutely love to hear the man talk or read anything that he’s said. Maybe I just respect him more because it doesn’t seem like he sold out of who he was for money. Sure, he’s worth a ton of money, but he could have been worth a ton more if he’d wanted to be. Instead he knew what made him most happy and stuck with it. Either way, I thought that this interview with Steve Wozniak was a great read.
Steve Wozniak carries $20,000 cash in his pocket so he can splash out on technology at will.
I’m not sure I’d carry cash, but I’d love to be able to enjoy technology this way too.
Best News I’ve Read Today
Written by: JuanchitoToday I was reading Techcrunch like usual and I found an interesting study on how many teens create content online. It also touched on how involved teens were in using other parts of the internet like blogging and social networks. I’m so excited by this study, because I have an idea I hope to build that focuses on this niche. I’m so glad that teens are as well connected as I thought.
