“The Rest of Everest” is video cast shot mostly in Tibet by Jon Miller. The podcast started out with footage from the 2003 filming of the documentary “Everest The Other Side”. The podcast has gotten so popular This podcast is not about climbing is about experience of being on the mountian the Tibetan culture and the hard work it takes to get these people up the mountain. Watch this, it’s one of my favorites.

If I was to start over again with graphics software I would not be using Photoshop. It is far to expensive. Hundreds of dollars! I would use the GIMP now. But I got a good deal on Photoshop CS1 a few years ago and watched Photoshop TV now Photoshop User TV. Unless you plan to use CS2 or CS3 I would not bother because these guys are all about promoting the latest product.

The Roku players are settop boxes the brings all of your favorite content from the Internet to your television. Simple setup; I didn’t even look at the instructions. Roku players have built in wireless but I used the ethernet. After I connected the player to my home theater system and plugged in the ethernet I connected the power. I selected the connection type ethernet. You select the media source with the remote. If you have a Netflix, Flickr or Pandora account it will give you a codes to enter into those accounts via Internet. Don’t worry the Roku player walks you true it. You can now play unlimited online content from Netflix or Amazon Video with a payed account. Play podcast and other programing for free from Mediafly, blip.tv, Revision3, TWIT and many others.

I love TWIT.TV, Revision3 and others on the Roku very much. I am having a ball!

Leo Laporte over at TWIT has a new podcast. Called TWIg (This Week In Google). The co-host are Leo of course, Gina Trapani founder of Lifehacker and Jeff Jarvis author of “What Would Google Do“. I watched the first episode. It was a little dry and newsy because the big story this week was the Google Voice app being removed from the iPhone app store but a suspect the show will get a lot better. There are plans to have developers and product manager from Google to come to talk about the actual products. It will probably get a name change because it may eventually become a show less about Google and more about The Cloud.
The GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) is a free and opensource graphic editing program not unlike Adobe PhotoShop.
The GIMP like PhotoShop can be very difficult to learn. “Meet The GIMP” is a video podcast of GIMP tutorials or lessons. MTG will walk you through the basics of using The GIMP.
I posted about MTG I while back after that I there was a pause and I thought he went off air but he has been posting regularly. Losts of new episodes!

The TWiT Podcast network is starting to have live video. There has been audio for years but video is a bandwidth hog and the cost of bandwidth for video was prohibitive. It would cost an individual like Leo Leporte (host and creator of the TWiT network) a small fortune to serve that much video. With the help of site like Stickcam it is now possible. Read more about what’s going on at TWiT.
