Rocking the Mic with Geeks & God

John Wilkerson — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 09:16:40 -0400

I had the opportunity to join Bob & Matt on their podcast, Geeks & God while at the Geeks & God Web 2.0 Conference. We kicked back outside while recording this podcast. We got inside just before the killer mosquitoes descended upon us.

I had a great time at the conference, met a lot of really cool people and had a blast on the podcast. In this podcast we talk about the importance of ministry leaders and workers going to a conference to meet with people who are like-minded in their gifts and talents as well as their faith. Enjoy!

Bwana.TV Q&A 07/24/2008 - iPhone iPhone iPhone

Bwana McCall — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:48:31 -0400

In this video, I answer various questions in my Youtube Inbox! It's Bwana.TV Q&A for 07/24/2008. Most of the questions in this video have to do with the new iPhone 3G and the new iPhone software. There were also questions regarding unlocking an iPhone 3G which is currently not possible (from what I understand). I was only able to get in about 10 questions since I wanted to limit it to 10 minutes. Enjoy!

12seconds.TV

Bwana McCall — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:47:23 -0400

In this video, I talk about a new video microblogging service called 12seconds.TV. I've recently been invited to partcipate in the alpha testing phase of this site and it looks a lot like Seesmic.com on the surface. The purpose is to provide short, 12 second, video updates on whatever you wish. There is a basic follower system and tie-ins to Twitter. 12seconds.TV is very young at the moment and is lacking some features of Seesmic, but it is worth keeping an eye on as it develops. Enjoy!

Linuxchic & TechMonkey — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:30:45 -0400

A day late but with TechMonkey on vacation Linuxchic was left to dust off her mad editing skillz and had to remember how prep the show.

In this episode we update you on the latest antitrust charges being leveraged against Intel by the EU, SCO’s legal woes in the battle for Unix intellectual rights with Novell and what this all could mean for Sun, emails suggesting collusion between Nvidia and ATI, the new Linux MySpace PC, the availability of OpenMoko’s FreeRunner open source mobile phone, Google Android running on the Nokia N810, Google Android openness in question, the new T-Mobile Sidekick 2008. We talk about the DNS vulnerability that has everyone in a patch frenzy, discuss the new design on Last.fm, and review a new website, Twing.com.

Twhirl With Identi.ca Support

Bwana McCall — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:28:55 -0400

In this video, I demonstrate the latest version of twhirl (0.8.4) which supports the Twitter clone, identi.ca. What makes this version so special is that it supports receiving updates via Jabber (XMPP). This means real time updates in your twhirl window! A sad thing is that this feature had been developed weeks ago, but Twitter s failure to deliver a stable XMPP service has prevented it from going live. Thanks to identi.ca s new Twitter compatible API, this feature can now be realized and enjoyed. While identi.ca s community is no where near the size of Twitter s, I m excited about it s huge growth in such a short period of time, and how quickly new features are added. Enjoy!

Change of Schedule

A quick podcast about the change in the podcasting schedule for this month.

Wordpress for iPhone app launches

Mike Paul — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 07:08:45 -0400

Well, here it is folks. My first post brought to you LIVE from my iPhone. The new Wordpress iPhone app is up and running, so get yours now!

So far so good, but I’m going to try and hammer this thing hard today to see how easy, or difficult, it is to use.

I’m really hoping that my phone becomes a much more productive tool and I’m looking forwardbtp bringing you a lot more updates with a mobile app.

More updates coming soon…

Jailbreak and Unlock iPhone 2.0 with Pwnage Tool

Bwana McCall — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:04:54 -0400

In this video, I demonstrate how to utilize the PwnageTool (2.0.1) to jailbreak and unlock an iPhone with 2.0 software. I'm not using an iPhone 3G, but an old model which uses EDGE only. Remember the difference between jailbreaking and unlocking. Jailbreaking an iPhone will allow custom software (outside of the App Store) to run while unlocking an iPhone allows one to use the iPhone on a different carrier such as T-Mobile. The Pwnage tool gives you an easy to use interface to jailbreak and unlock your iPhone. It provides giant buttons that are easy to read and follow. Note, you should have already downloaded the latest Apple firmware as well as the latest BootLoader files. The tool will prompt you to download them if you haven't already. I also demonstrate "advanced mode" which gives you options to customize the firmware even further. You can tell it to activate the iPhone or not, disable the partition wipe, customize the root partition size, (pre)install custom packages, customize boot logos, or whether to preload Bootneuter for unlocking. After customization, you click the giant "Build" button which builds a custom firmware with all the customizations defined. You then have to restore this custom firmware to your iPhone through iTunes. This invovles putting the iPhone in DFU mode. The tool does a decent job of guiding through the process of holding the right buttons at the right time. Once this is done, the hard part is over! Just wait until the phone boots, runs the appropriate programs, and you'll have a jailbroken, unlocked iPhone! Enjoy!

MacModifier #20 - Display Phone Numbers Full Screen

Make sure you have your speakers on! Check out my site at http://www.macscreencastnetwork.com or search 'MacModifier' on YouTube.

iPhone 3G Unboxing

Bwana McCall — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 01:49:46 -0400

In this video, I unbox my new iPhone 3G! Thanks to the community (jim48116 and other donations), my wife and I now are proud owners of the iPhone 3G. To get the iPhone we had to go through more than we anticipated. We called the Apple Store in our local area to make sure they had them in stock. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they had all models! When we got to the Apple Store, we were shocked to see a fairly long line to get the iPhone. After standing in line for about an hour and a half, we were told we couldn't get the iPhone from the Apple Store since I had an old business discount on my plan. Note, this was an plan that was discontinued when I got my first gen iPhone, but my account was STILL flagged as having the discount. We then went around the corner to an AT&T store, and had it promptly removed. Thanks to the nice Apple rep (Clayton Hackett @ Apple Store St Johns Town Center, YOU ROCK BUDDY), we didn't have to stand in line again. He re-processed us and we came home with our iPhones. Our initial impressions of the iPhone 3G are fairly positive. My wife instantly noticed the speed increase on the ride home. She also liked that the iPhone felt lighter. We will use these and report our findings to you all in time. Look for a full review soon. Thanks for watching!

Donations for Bwana s iPhone 3G Upgrade

Bwana McCall — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:43:33 -0400

In this video, I talk about jim48116 s idea of creating a ChipIn! widget to get me and my wife an iPhone 3G upgrade. Jim approached me yesterday on live.bwana.tv and asked if it were possible to setup a fund raiser to get it done. I was a bit hesitant at first since I rarely ask for anything in return for the things I do, but I decided to do it anyway to see what happens. Seconds after I posted the ChipIn! Widget, Jim donated $50!!! Jrblaze in the chat room asked if my wife would be jealous if I got an upgrade and she didn t. Well yeah she would. So Jim suggested I increase the amount of the ChipIn! widget to account for both of our upgrades. Soon after, Jim donated ANOTHER $50!!! Amazing. So if you want to donate to the iPhone 3G upgrade for Bwana fund, go to this link: http://bit.ly/bwanaiphone3g. From there, you can donate however much you want via paypal. ChipIn! will track how much has been donated and how much is left. Again, I d like to thank Jim for his generous donations and also thank all of you for listening and subscribing, whether you donate or not.

E3 2008 Summary: A Positive Approach

Bwana McCall — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:42:27 -0400

In this video, I give my thoughts on Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony s keynotes at E3 2008. I was saddened by the lack of substance in each of the keynotes. I wrote about this last year on bwana.org and hoped things would improve this year. Unfortunately, all of the presentations were yawn fests. Rather than repeat last year s negative tone, I tried my best to find the positive things of each keynote. For Microsoft, I was impressed by their dashboard update and avatar system, and obviously I was floored by Final Fantasy XIII s move to the Xbox 360. For Nintendo, Wii motion Plus and Wii Music were positive highlights, while Sony s PSN video offerings and announcement of MAG. I m hoping next year s E3 will be much better than this poor offering.

Playstation Network (PSN) Video Content

Bwana McCall — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:40:52 -0400

In this video, I discuss Sony s new video content on the Playstation Network. Sony announced availability of this content at E3 2008, and made it available the same day. The video content includes Movie and TV show rentals and purchases. The price ranges match those of the Xbox Marketplace and AppleTV. Sony is also allowing transfers for content to the PSP!! I believe this is a step in the right direction for Sony to bring PSN s video on demand offering to a new level.

Episode 68: Windows 2008 Network Access Protection

iPhone 2.0 is here!

Bwana McCall — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 21:51:10 -0400

In this video, I give my initial thoughts on the iPhone 2.0 software. If you recall, I was excited about the new firmware (v2.0) moreso than the new iPhone 3G hardware. My excitement was well warranted as the iTunes App Store is absolutely amazing! The applications are abundant (there are plenty of free ones out there) and while I've only spent $5, I have almost 5 pages of apps! Some of my favorite apps are Pandora, Remote, Tap Tap Revenge, and Tuner, to name a few. Overall, I think Apple hit a home run with iPhone software 2.0. I feel like I have a new device without spending a dime!
