10,000 BC Movie Party

utterz-image



Getting ready to have a back yard movie party watching 10,000 BC tonight.

Just because its Monday night doesn’t mean you can’t stay up late and have fun.

We did upgrade our screen this time and established a canvas on a wooden frame. We’ll see if that works better than hanging a sheet. Still shying away fromt he $600 options, but you never know. We might graduate to that eventually.

Night Vision Web Cam Test during Day


So now I need to see how my Day/Night web cam works during the day recording live via utterz.

The audio last night was not terribly great and I’m not sure if that was the camera (which has a built in microphone) or my normal recording equipment. I basically do not know which one was recording last night.

So today, I’m only going to use the camera microphone (everything else is disconnected).

Note, I talked about the audio not matching up to the video (last night) but today when I preview it before saving, it looks like it matched well.

Night Vision Web Cam Test

This is a test of my night vision webcam. It is actually a day/night web cam. I’ve plugged it in via a Pinnacle usb video conversion device.

Here’s my original article talking about the setup for this goofy experiment.

That was the first test. Nothing spectacular and the audio could have been better. I have to figure the audio out a bit more as I fine tune my recipes for nocturnal web cam tests.

Mobile Computing - The Set Up


Every mobile worker is going to work a little differently. For some people it will mean getting themselves to the closest Starbucks, for others they might get a WiFi sniffer out and find an unsecure connection.
For me, I’ve got an aircard and I can park my tukus anywhere. So these days, I find it is more important to keep the right tools handy and focus on recreating a comfortable environment that will help me remain productive while I’m working and not get me just enough connection to waste my time and battery surfing the internet or paying my bills online (my life insurance agent can wait a week more to collect his commission).

Powering WiFi Router with Air Card

NexAira 3G Wireless broadband router working with Verizon Aircard
Today I setup and configured my first 3G Wireless Broadband Router from Powerful Signal. This WiFi router from NexAira essentially connects to the internet via my Verizon Aircard (which looks like and functions simultaneously as a usb flash drive) and it then sets up a WiFi hotspot for multiple computers to access the internet with via just 1 aircard.

Listen to the audio above for more information, or check back soon for our complete review once we have had a chance to put this device through its paces!
