TechnoGeekery Show #31: Adobe Media Player… Rockin’ the Chassy!
May 31, 2008
TechnoGeekery with Chassy Cat is brought to you by Aveeno Baby. Check them out!
FYI: If you download the new Adobe Media Player (AMP) from Adobe– which you can use to stream, download, organize, and play rich media content– the darn thing comes preloaded with tons of neat-o shows, not the least of these being MY VIDEO PODCAST! O’ TECHNOGEEKERY!
Seriously!
Apparently Podango selected my video podcast as one of the shows they wanted to showcase in the new Adobe Media Player. How cool is that?!
Right?! I know! BOOYAH!
*ahem*
Whatever. I’m totally cool now. Visit Adobe.com to learn more about AMP and to download the player.

TechnoGeekery Show #30: Send Videos… One Click!
May 23, 2008
TechnoGeekery with Chassy Cat is brought to you by Aveeno Baby. Check them out!
IMPORTANT: Chassy Cat needs your videos! I’ve written a song for this occasion.
To prove I have friends, I need your videos now…
Send whatever you want, except porn ain’t allowed!
In order to assist you in the giving of your silly/informative/awesome/musical/modern dancey/whateverexceptnotporn videos, watch today’s show to learn a little info about “one-click hosting” services, and how that will make sending videos and other large files (pictures, documents, music) SO MUCH EASIER.
Best of all? Totally FREE! (Well, in most cases. But there’s no reason to pay for the service when there are so many free ones out there! Just sayin’!)
Thanks to Daria from Boutique Cafe, and Paige from Mommycast, for the awesome videos! Seriously, TechnoGeeks, send whatever… just send it!
Chassy Cat’s two favorite FREE one-click hosting sites:
YouSendIt (Lite Account is FREE)
Other Services:
RapidShare: It’s not pretty, but it’s been around for a long time; some internet service providers (ISP’s) may block it (100 MB limit for free folders).
Box.net : Popular for simplicity; offers 1GB of free space.
Drop.io: No email signup and no accounts; best suited for smaller files (100 MB limit).
Window Live SkyDrive: Password-protected online file storage; requires a Windows Live account.
MediaFire: No email signup; like Drop.io, best suited for smaller files (100 MB limit for free accounts).
(Another VERY cool application I’m looking into is DropBox, which is a beta syncing application. More on that at a later date! If anyone has tried it, leave a comment, or email me with your review, yo?)
Wikipedia rates some of the top services HERE.
REMEMBER: Don’t be a PIRATE! (arrrg!) Send files responsibly.
