Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

In this episode, I tell you the big news if I get to speak at the Democratic National Convention, a review of why the Nokia N95 is NOT moxie and did the world miss the largest cyber terrorist attack this past weekend? What’s really going on with Best Western getting compromised?

Also, a huge call out to the Moxies (aka you) on what is YOUR favorite podcast? I need to know for a future show. We all know Geekbrief rocks the party, but what other podcasts are you secretly addicted to?

Don’t be a fool, leave a comment and let me know!

Snackr: Displaying Feeds On Your Desktop

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

SnackrI’m all about RSS Feeds. They’re convenient, they’re simple and they’re time-saving and therefore life-saving. If you don’t know what RSS is, you really need to learn about it as I promise you it will change the way you view the web.

Here’s McCord’s definition: instead of visiting a website in a browser to see the latest and greatest articles, blog posts, news, pictures/videos, all you need to do is add the website’s RSS feed into a RSS reader and you get “snippets” of new content on the site. If you’re interested in reading more, you click on the link and the RSS reader brings you to the website. If the headline doesn’t interest you, you move on and therefore don’t have to visit the site. It’s a great way to view 30 of your favorite sites in less than 10 minutes. Done and done.

Now, on to Snackr. Snackr is a RSS ticker that scrolls your RSS feeds in random order on your desktop in a beautiful, Adobe-Air display. Snackr can work on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux so it’s available (for free) to everyone. You must have Adobe Air installed in order to use Snackr, so click here if you haven’t downloaded Adobe Air yet. Once you’ve downloaded Snackr, you can customize which feeds to add, where you want the scroll bar displayed and how fast you want the ticker to move. It’s that easy.

Below is a quick video showing you my Snackr on my desktop… it’ll give you a great idea of how it works. You can download Snackr here.

Jott This: Writing My Blog with My Voice!

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Jott

One of my goals is creating this blog is to discuss the moxiest, newest technology out there. Although Jott has been around for a little while, the services that Jott has recently added now have my attention. Once you’ve created a free account with Jott, all you have to do is call a toll-free number and speak whatever it is you wish to say clearly. You then have the option for Jott to transcribe what you say and send it to any of your contacts on email or now even Twitter.

They also just added cross functionality with Wordpress, the software I use for my blog. I can literally call the Jott toll-free number next time there’s breaking news and within seconds, Jott will transcribe my voicemail into a new blog post for you to read. Moxie indeed!

Here’s an example of a call I just made to Jott:

“Hey guys I am using jott to write my new blog posts and I just wanted to say hello, this is very moxie.” Listen to Jeff’s Voicemail Here

A Moxie Way to Surf the Web

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Cali Lewis, from Geekbrief.tv, just informed all of us viewers about an awesome new technology that, to me, is so moxie I couldn’t help but write about it as well! Publicis and Hal Riney have a new way to surf their site… WITH THE MOTION OF YOUR HANDS! No more touching the keys on your keypad. No more using the mouse to navigate. As long as you have a webcam, you can use the “Air Hands” technology to navigate!

Check out the demo I made while on the site… it’s fantastic and quite moxie! ;)

You will see, at first, the intro to the website where you do a test to make sure your webcam is monitoring your hand signals. Then you’ll see the actual site and me navigating my way (left, right, and top) through it.

Please DIGG this if you think it’s interesting/cool…
