Moon (2009)
I don’t typically make movie recommendations, but I so enjoyed Moon that I’m making an exception. It’s one of the few movies in the last decade that I can actually recommend to people as a good way to spend 97 minutes.
TRENDnet Gigabit Switch Mini-Review
Multiple audio and video streams, Skype video, and big file transfers eat up bandwidth, and the older Airport Extreme we use here is a limited to Fast Ethernet speeds. This just wasn’t cutting it for the production of the upcoming shows we’re working on, which involve a lot of data transfer. So I picked up a TRENDnet Gigabit switch, and wrote this mini-review of it for you.
Podcasting Equipment Guide (2009)
If you’re thinking about podcasting and have no idea where to start, if you’ve tried recording using your computer’s built-in microphone and realized just how bad that sounds, and if you’re ready to get serious about creating great audio, you’re in the right place. My hope is that this article will assist you in building a recording rig that suits your needs and meets your budget.
This article is a major update (a rewrite, actually) of my original Podcasting equipment guide. I’ve tried a lot of gear and learned a lot, as I’ve been recording something almost daily for the last 4 years. While most of my recommendations in that article are still valid, I wanted to publish this update to share what I’ve learned.
A Reviews FAQ
This is a short FAQ regarding the reviews I’ve been publishing on Hivelogic.
Review: The ingenuiTEA Tea Infuser
Although the traditional method used to prepare Chinese or Japanese tea is elaborate and requires a high level of skill and practice to get right, it’s easy to make a nice cup at home, so long as you’re using good leaves, the right temperature water, and the right infuser to steep it in. The ingenuiTEA is a great place to start.
Starbucks VIA Review: Just Stir and Enjoy?
A review of Starbucks new instant coffee, called VIA. Starbucks claims that they’ve figured out a way to create instant coffee that tastes as good as fresh-brewed coffee. While most of the media and many of the coffee-lovers I know were skeptical, I was actually optimistic and, truth be told, a bit excited about the prospect and potential for high-quality instant coffee.
