The Airport Express gives you the ability to play music, wirelessly, anywhere in your house.    Now, there are lots of speakers out there that have some fancy claim about being "MP3 speakers" or "iPod speakers", and usually will do just about everything but your dishes, however, the actual sound quality of many of these speakers is pure audio torture.    While I don't think of myself as an audiophile (who has a spare $100k or more to drop on tube amps, and speakers with serial numbers that are lucky to be above double digits?)    I do however appreciate good sound quality.    Very few things in life can move someone like music can, and part of the musical experience is being able to reproduce the sound as close to live as possible.    Read on for my review...]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Got a New Mac for Christmas?</title><dc:creator>Bruce Garlock</dc:creator><category>Podcasts</category><dc:date>2008-12-27T20:46:50-05:00</dc:date><link>http://familytechcast.com/files/christmas-2008.php#unique-entry-id-17</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://familytechcast.com/files/christmas-2008.php#unique-entry-id-17</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Did you get a new Mac for Christmas?

It looks like the fourth is going to be a rainy day, so I may have time to record the first podcast.    I will be focusing on switching from Windows to the Mac for home users.    Specifically, I will be looking at what the big differences are between the two platforms, and offer various tips for users.    I have a friend that has just made the switch, so I will be asking for his input on the things that make the two different, and how they are the same.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Possibly back on track..</title><dc:creator>Bruce Garlock</dc:creator><category>Podcasts</category><dc:date>2006-06-22T20:16:19-04:00</dc:date><link>http://familytechcast.com/files/4043d4fd49833e7893a759d5089840c2-15.php#unique-entry-id-15</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://familytechcast.com/files/4043d4fd49833e7893a759d5089840c2-15.php#unique-entry-id-15</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Yes, it has been a while, but I am finally getting some breathing room, and taking it easy this summer.

Simply too much time on other projects is detracting from the time I could be spending on this project.    I still have not been able to even get out the test podcast or place the AdSense links..    Hope to get something done this weekend.    I am off to LinuxWorld right now.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Another setback..</title><dc:creator>Bruce Garlock</dc:creator><category>Podcasts</category><dc:date>2006-03-23T10:38:17-05:00</dc:date><link>http://familytechcast.com/files/ae9f72fbc54156133e31ba5c7ca3bd8c-13.php#unique-entry-id-13</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://familytechcast.com/files/ae9f72fbc54156133e31ba5c7ca3bd8c-13.php#unique-entry-id-13</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[It is sometimes hard being a one man show.    My main fileserver at home, has a bad disk drive, and it is on the /home partition, which is where the majority of my data is stored.    I have tried things like SpinWrite, but the disk has too many errors on it, that are not repairable.    I have to move data to another server, since this is my main consulting data system, which runs many web applications that I use for my consulting business.


I hope to have that project done in a few weeks, so I can get back on track with the podcasts.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Set back a few weeks</title><dc:creator>Bruce Garlock</dc:creator><category>Podcasts</category><dc:date>2006-03-07T21:19:13-05:00</dc:date><link>http://familytechcast.com/files/28a78fafc1686a9f8ba76e1172e9a2db-11.php#unique-entry-id-11</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://familytechcast.com/files/28a78fafc1686a9f8ba76e1172e9a2db-11.php#unique-entry-id-11</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Sorry - I have been busy with other projects, and have not had time to work on this Podcast.    I hope that I will be able to do a little bit this weekend.    I also have to post the test podcast, which will simply be myself and my daughter messing around with the microphone.    This podcast will be used for testing purposes, and should not be taken seriously :-)]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Almost there&#x21;</title><dc:creator>Bruce Garlock</dc:creator><category>Podcasts</category><dc:date>2006-02-23T10:36:32-05:00</dc:date><link>http://familytechcast.com/files/f5070aa5bb123ec8345764e61aaac502-10.php#unique-entry-id-10</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://familytechcast.com/files/f5070aa5bb123ec8345764e61aaac502-10.php#unique-entry-id-10</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Well, I still need to create a logo!    I have "Logo Design Studio" for the Mac, so hopefully I will get it done soon.  


I am also going to be posting a test podcast to make sure everything is working correctly.    I need to make sure RSS is working, and the links to libsyn work as well.    I still do not see how <a href="http://libsyn.com">http://libsyn.com</a> can make money by offering unlimited bandwidth.    What if someone decided to post some 1080p videocasts?    That would surely put a strain on libsyn.


So, hold on tight.    I really hope to get the first podcast out this weekend sometime.]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Still working audio issues</title><dc:creator>Bruce Garlock</dc:creator><category>Podcasts</category><dc:date>2006-02-19T08:37:48-05:00</dc:date><link>http://familytechcast.com/files/eb7357097c98df5ff7191e2664c5064b-9.php#unique-entry-id-9</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://familytechcast.com/files/eb7357097c98df5ff7191e2664c5064b-9.php#unique-entry-id-9</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[Well, I am still working out the last of the audio issues.    I have found some good recording levels, that sound clean, and now I have to do some more testing.    I will finally be posting the first test - hopefully tonight or Monday.

I did find a place to host the media files, which will be able to handle any bandwidth that is requested!    It should be able to get hammered, and I will not incur any costs.    All pricing is done on the total size of the media.
