In honor of Mother’s day I interview my mom about her newest tech gadget, the Extreme Reader from Guerilla Technologies. ooVoo for 6-way video calls at oovoo.com. In Dumb Question Corner we cover switching windows in Word, creating anniversary calendars in iCal using Dates to iCal from nhoj.co.uk/datestoical/, Keystroke to send Mail, how to restore a user directory from a thumb drive. We look at Honda Bob’s website to learn all about brakes at hdabob.com. And finally Donald Burr from otakunopodcast explains to me the virtues and few failings of the Archos 705 from archos.com. See his pictures at borg-cube.com, download Miro from getmiro.com, iSquint from isquint.org and Handbrake from handbrake.fr.

In this bonus episode of the NosillaCast, I’m joined by Paige Eissinger of the Views from the Coop Podcast talking about the O’Reilly book “Design Accessible Web Sites” by Jeremy Sydik. It’s a great interview and a subject near and dear to my heart. I don’t think you have to be a web designer to enjoy this episode, Paige’s style is genuine and light hearted.

In Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart and I discuss various Twitter clients for the Mac: Twitterific from iconfactory.com, Twitterpost only available at apple.com/downloads/macosx/email_chat/twitterpost.html but it doesn’t work, TwitterPod which DOES have proxy access but a lame interface from drikin.com/twitterpod, and finally Spaz from funkatron.com/spaz which works, but has no proxy access and has an offensive name in some languages. here’s a link to Bart’s blog where he talks about each of them: bartbusschots.ie. And finally my rant about not being able to sync contacts to my iPhone or iPod for two days.

iPhone whining about batteries and not being able to send .mac mail over EDGE, Sam Caldwell on Microsoft vs. Apple service (hint, Microsoft wins), Sam’s podcast is at http://web.mac.com/inetsynch/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html. Idea for encouraging audio CAPTCHAs on websites for accessibility, box.net for storing and sharing files, Disk Inventory X from derlien.com for recovering wasted disk space, Zoho from zoho.com for online software applications, and Inquisitor 3 from inquisitorx.com/safari for Spotlight-like web searching in Safari. Skitch is the coolest application I’ve played with in a long time, from plasq.com.
