I used to plug my technology column and other wares weekly on the site, but I started to feel that the site was turning into an advertising platform for me, which I never intended. Instead of stuffing your RSS feeds and inboxes with links to my stuff, I’m just going to do this once a month to give a few highlights.

Plugged In

My local WNIN radio show has been improving each week. I still feel incredibly green as a radio host and think I talk a bit too fast, but I’m happy with the progression. Here’s a few recent episodes:

• Episode 04: HDTV 101
• Episode 03: Vista Tips & Tricks
• Episode 02: Backing up your PC or Mac

You can listen on 88.3-FM Thursdays at noon or to the replay Sunday nights at 6:30PM.

Courier & Press

My weekly technology column appears each Friday in the Evansville Courier & Press Technology section.

• Apple has a few worms in approach to software
• Complex passwords help derail hackers
• Microsoft is scoring big with Gates, Seinfeld comeback ad
• Digital domain archives our lives, mistakes

Second Gear

As always, if you’d like to support Second Gear, please do consider purchasing my company, Second Gear’s, applications.
