In a new social experiment, every Sunday at 11:59 PM, everything I posted on Twitter will show up on Geekazine. This will include updates and retweets. It is a test, so if you see any issues, let me know.
First thing it looks like I need to do is make this post look a little prettier.

No Comments »2001- Jan de Wit – a.k.a. “OnTheFly” sends out an email stating that it is a picture of the famous tennis player. Of course it turned out to be a a Worm that takes down tens of thousands of computers. Most companies will shut off their email to the world just to prevent from getting it. De Wit would then be arrested two days later and sentenced to 150 hours community service.

No Comments »Yes, I still use Thunderbird and Outlook for email. I like GMails web client, but I also like the hierarchal folder structure of the clients. But today, I had to rethink my processes due to Google and their new Google Buzz program. Now, instead of getting important email sent to the box, I got hoards of “Buzz From” emails.
First thing I did was go scouring the site for a setting that would curb this blatent spamming of my email box. I was really hoping for something like Google Groups has – turn on a setting that lets me have a digest email for the day. I can live with that.
But no setting that I could find. The only thing I could do is “Turn off Buzz”. And like I said, I am not ready to give up Thunderbird and Outlook. They still have a lot of use. So I did the one thing that could really bite me in the Butt.
I created a filter.
Therefore, if you have something to say to me, don’t send in the subject “Buzz from…” It will instantly get trashed. I might look at my trash can from time to time, but my settings on trash are simple – When I close the program, empty the trash. It is not a folder, it is waste that needs to be cleaned out.
I think Google does need to address this issue. Especially since a high-end email box will exponentially grow in size almost overnight. It’s easy in the web client – it’s already tagged.
An option to digest the email into a daily, weekly or never would be a decent option, but can you do that now that your Social Network is intertwined with your mail client? Google might have to do some reverse engineering on this one. Tell the client that it is email in Googles’ eyes, but not send it out if you are receiving it from another host.
The ironic thing is that I will post this article. That post will be re-aggregated through RSS feeds to Buzz. I will then get an email stating I wrote this article. I suppose that will be great for me if I am developing alzheimers…
It’s really an epic fail on Google’s part. Please fix it. Thank you.

Home Security. It’s getting easier to install and configure. We’ve already seen some great plug and play security, but why not get it from a company like D-Link, who has focused on internet and it’s security for years now.
Todd Cochrane talks with Stephen over how this new system can keep your family secure. All devices are plug and play and can be accessed over a browser. The system only cost $149.99 and you will have everything you need for protection. Cameras, motion detectors, keypad sensor and more.
Further, any entry to the home and you will get an alert – either through email or SMS. Add the Z Wave system and you turn on and off devices when needed.

If you need a security camera now, then you might want to look at the ASTAK Mole. It is a fully plug-and-play webpage controlled web camera. Sending at 640×480 with night vision and motion detection, this camera can be used for anyone. You can record from your wireless system, but it also has an SD card spot for continued recording if your network goes down.
Jack Ellis talks to Kirk about this great product. You can access it from your iPhone or computer. You can even get a photo snapshot sent to your email so you can keep abreast of what is going on. This camera MSRP is $299 and is available at Amazon.com.

The 100th Geekazine Podcast should be a blast!
You might remember the products. You might remember the hype. Then, you are tooling down highway 41 years later and all of a sudden you think to yourself – “Hey, whatever happened to…”
Failed ideas. Maybe it was a great idea, but wasn’t made right, or design errors brought it down. Maybe it was just a bad product. Well, let’s take a stroll down memory lane and see if we cannot repeat these errors again.
Oh yeah, why 16? Well because we could.
The Computer Watch: Whether it was the Ruputer, the MSN Direct ‘Smart’ Watches, the Timex Data Link Watch or another gadget watch – BTW – I remember having a “Transformers watch”. It was awesome!
Still, the Dick Tracey style communication watches, the “Computer on a wrist”, never really hit it off. I even remember a watch that gave you directions. You would put in the paper tape and turn a little dial to indicate where you are and where you are going.
