Apple TV Take 2 – This Podcaster’s Perspective

Tuesday, February 12 Paul Colligan

As per Engadget (and TUAW and few zillion other gadget blog sites already), the "Take 2" update for Apple TV is loose and available for download.  As I type these first sentences, my system is in the process of downloading and upgrading.  As always, I’ll try to give the Podcasting / New Media angle on…Read More »

Hulu Impresses

Tuesday, November 20 Paul Colligan

I got my Hulu beta pass yesterday. And, before you ask, they don’t give you any passes or invites to give away – at least at this point. First impressions are very nice. The video is very smooth and I’ll have no problems integration those shows into my little Year of Living Digitally experiment. Full…Read More »

Why The Europeans Watch Online And What We Can Learn From It

Thursday, May 3 Paul Colligan

The Techcrunch piece about 45% of Europeans watching TV online should be of little surprise – but not for the reasons you might think. Despite TechMeme buzz on this topic, I have a few thoughts that I haven’t read yet. Mark Evan’s points out the bias in the study, but I’d suggest an even simpler…Read More »

Some Strange YOLD Results That I Didn’t See Coming

Wednesday, January 31 Paul Colligan

January 2007 is over for the Year of Living Digitally project. I learned something very interesting in my first month: Not only can I get everything I want, it’s cheaper (and better) this way. We did that piece on the numbers of it all. This path is a bit annoying (technically), but actually cheaper in…Read More »

1 Tivo for Sale at Ebay – The Year of Living Digitally Begins

Monday, January 1 Paul Colligan

First step, unplug and sell the Tivo. Done. We’ll miss the dear friend. I hope she goes to a good home. In case you missed it, she’s on the auction block because in 2007, the Colligan family gets their new media, only from the Internet – and via legal channels at that. You can track…Read More »

With All That Zune Bashing, I Thought I’d Link To This

Friday, December 22 Paul Colligan

In my Year of Living Digitally project, I had one “hole” in the plan. I had no way to watch MP4 or MOV video Podcasts on the television in “true” couch potato mode. Yes, I could hook up the video iPod via the video cables, but I’d have to run the shows from the video…Read More »
