How much you really walk at CES, and the many faces of CES. We start playing our CES interviews with Mophie<\/a> announcing their new Juice Packs for the iPhone 6 and 6+. Next we talked to the Lowes Innovation Labs<\/a> about their OSHBot Robot and their virtual reality home improvement system using the Oculus Rift. I give my view on how maybe the Z-Wave Alliance could make home automation all play together. Allister Jenks gives us a tutorial (made with Clarify) on how to add Flickr to your WordPress website at http:\/\/zkarj.clarify-it.com\/d\/9g4rwa<\/a>. In Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart starts explaining DNS to us in Taming the Terminal Part 27 of n<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CES Interviews<\/h3>\n

Steve and I conducted THIRTY SEVEN interviews at CES. We’re struggling with how to get the content to you without overwhelming you and yet not taking forever to get them all out. I think what we’ve settled on is that Steve will render all the videos and get them up on Youtube, and then I’ll spoon feed them out on the blog throughout the coming weeks. On the podcast we’ll play the audio from those interviews that work well in audio only. There are some that are so visual that I’ll talk about them on the podcast but suggest you go watch rather than listen. For example there’s one of a guy riding a motocross bike by using his arms and legs with no bike there at all. Cool thing but the video really makes the interview. We’d better dig in and get started!<\/p>\n

Finally Mophie Juice Packs for the iPhone 6\/6+<\/a><\/h4>\n

Everyone is excited that Mophie has finally come out with the Juice Packs for the iPhone 6 and 6+. They sure could have done a better job with the naming convention. How many people do you think will buy the Juice Pack Plus for their iPhone 6+’s and then find out it only fits the 6? Anyway, before you go out and buy a Mophie, you might want to stay tuned for an interview next week with Mobee who has a solution set that might be even better for you than the Mophie.<\/p>\n

Lowes Innovation Labs Brings Us Helpful Robots and Virtual Reality Bathrooms<\/a><\/h4>\n

You can hear in this interview how weird the Oculus Rift was, the video is worth watching too so you can se how dorky I was! Check it out at lowesinnovationlabs.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Can The Z-Wave Alliance Make Home Automation Devices Play Nice?<\/a><\/h4>\n

That’s enough interviews for this week. There’s lots more to come, Steve’s encoding like a maniac so if you want to watch the videos early just go over to Podfeet.com and get a head start.<\/p>\n

Clarify<\/h3>\n

Yesterday our good friend and frequent contributor and sometimes host of the NosillaCast, Allister Jenks told me about a cool plugin for WordPress that lets you embed your Flickr stream onto your website. He thought it might be fun for me. If you only want to have Flickr embedded on a single page, you only need the plugin called Flickr Justified. If you want to embed it onto the sidebar though you also need one called Shortcode Widget. As soon as I heard there were plugins into plugins I panicked and told him it was too hard. You know where this is going, right? <\/p>\n

Allister undid his own installation, then launched Clarify and ran through the installation steps again so he could take screen snapshots, add some lovely rounded rectangle red boxes to highlight where I should be looking, and even one oval<\/em> to really get fancy. He added a couple of sequence steps where things needed to be done in a certain order, then dropped in titles to the steps and added a short bit of explanations on each step. When he was done he pushed the share to Clarify-it.com website and he had a link to send me with perfect instructions. I followed along and it worked exactly as he showed me and I had no confusion in how to follow his steps.<\/p>\n

I’m including a link in the shownotes to Allister’s How to Add Flickr to Your Sidebar tutorial over on clarify-it.com<\/a> for you to enjoy. If you would like to be able to help people like this, or just get them off your back from asking the same questions over and over again, head over to clarify-it.com<\/a> and give their free trial a spin. When you go to buy, remember you can buy it for Mac or Windows or even a slider license!<\/p>\n
