Now I promise this is a family friendly show, so I won&#8217;t get into details on this one, but I&#8217;ve got to say there&#8217;s something wonderful about watching Paris Hilton meet her demise in a terrible way!  It&#8217;s gruesome, gory, distasteful and scary, but it was enjoyable in a sick kind of way.<br \/>\n\t\tThis week we watched a nicer film &#8211; &#8220;Kicking and Screaming&#8221; with Will Farrell.  If you&#8217;ve ever had kids in soccer, you like Will Farrell, or you like predictable &#8220;Bad News Bears&#8221; kind of films, you&#8217;ll like this.  Robert Duvall and Mike Ditka play interesting but predictable characters but I liked them.  A few of the kids are really fun, the plot surrounding Byong Sun is pretty funny.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<p>Bob Marcus from jogtunes.com sent me some info on his site &#8211; this is a good case of solving a problem people have.  Both my husband and my friend Suzanne have been struggling with how to easily compile a list of songs to jog\/run to, and it looks like Bob has done it.<\/p>\n<li>  Jogtunes.com is a music listing for joggers. runners, and other exercisers who workout to music. The concept is to provide tunes whose tempos match the runner&#8217;s pace.\n<\/li>\n<li>  He selects songs from the iTunes Music Store that have tempos in the range of 80-100 beats-per-minute (for warm-up and cool-down) and 150-180 BPM (for jogging and running). He put links to the songs in a mySQL searchable database on the site. He also create playlists (linked iMixes) in various genres that are intended for the casual runner that can be sampled as a set in iTunes. They last about 30 minutes and contain a sequence of tunes that go from warm-up, to peak pace, to cool-down. Users are invited to submit their own playlists from songs in the database and from their personal libraries.

Expect an update next week.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>review KIT also from <a href=\"http:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com\">http:\/\/reinventedsoftware.com<\/a><br \/>\n\t\torganizational tool<br \/>\n\t\timport pictures, text files, whatever<br \/>\n\t\ttagging allows for smart groups like in Tiger<br \/>\n\t\tdifferent groups can contain the same files<br \/>\n\t\tbetter to see the the little demos they have online &#8211; very good at explaining what it can do<br \/>\n\t\tI use it to organize my podcast ideas, graphics I want to use, I&#8217;m even using it to keep track of things for my home life like home improvement!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>talk about Adam&#8217;s belief that shownotes should be short to get people to listen all the way through &#8211; I think if they like reading better, then they should be allowed to.  as long as the podcaster doesn&#8217;t mind doing all the typing.\n<\/li>\n<p>So over on Adam Christianson&#8217;s podcast <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maccast.com\">The MacCast<\/a> they&#8217;ve been talking a lot about Virtual Network Computing, or VNC.  This is an open source method of using one computer to control another computer, across the network or in your home.  The obvious thing is to use it to control your mom&#8217;s computer so you don&#8217;t have to drive over there!  Anyway, I had written up some notes for myself on how to set it up (mostly because my memory is so bad) so I decided to post them online on my website.  Take a look on the home page for a VNC tutorial.  I even went so far as to set it up on an XP machine so I keep with my goal of doing as much cross platform compatible applications as possible.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for today&#8217;s episode of NosillaCast, hope you liked it, and please drop me a line at <a href=\"mailto:allison@podfeet.com\">allison@podfeet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>show #18 More Podcast Expo &#8211; Steve Gibson, Cable Yoyo, Libsyn, Taldia Don&#8217;t use Internet Explorer, here&#8217;s why Wired Magazine &#8211; why you must read it AT&#038;T Natural Speech Reader Did I get my Samsung Monitor refund yet?
