So the podcast is undergoing a series of logistical trial and error tests. New formats. New segments. Some delays in getting it out to you. To make it up to you, though, we bring you a fascinating interview with the creators of the Children of the Wall film project, Sarah Bolton and Eric Swartz. Never imagined [...] [...more]
We promised it last week, and here it is: The Social Expedition’s Holiday Wish Lists! We would say you’ve got to listen to find out what geeky items we’re dying to see under our trees, but we also wanted to get you some links, so… Ansley: Dots Gloves – for use with conductive touchscreens. Griffin [...] [...more]
Alright, that may have been an obvious title for the podcast, given the guest. But a fascinating guest! Maggie Louie is the Online Media Specialist and Product Manager at the E. W.

Woo! Fresh blood at Twilight Camp! We were delighted to have some new-comers, and of course, always great to see some of our regulars. Once again, we did not get kicked out of Davis Kidd, which is really a shame because… The next Twilight Camp will be at the LunaWeb office! Though I suppose it [...] [...more]
First, a participant created a Foursquare check-in for Twilight Camp, and everyone with access to the program made their presence known. This launched a comparison of Gowalla to Foursquare.

On the heels of all [...] [...more]

Yes, Android danger! No, but really - everyone who owns an Android needs to be aware of this study by SMobile. The high and low of it is that Google doesn't put the Android apps through the same kind of intense scrutiny that Apple does for it's market.

Scroll down into the study for a list of permissions your app may ask for and what exactly they mean. Do you know for a fact that you haven't granted any apps permission to PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS? It sounds harmless enough, but it means the app can monitor, modify, or even abort your outgoing calls. [...more]
This is our 16th episode. We’re growing up so fast – and Elizabeth still hasn’t gotten the hovercar somebody promised her. And while we’re coming of age, social media shows no signs of stopping its growth and constant reinvention. The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) took place recently, and the nascent gadget freaks in us await [...] [...more]
