Geek Travel – Circus Circus in Las Vegas, Nevada
I’m starting a new series on this blog. I occasionally travel places that I really like, and others I don’t. As a Geek I’m a bit picky on the places I visit – whether that be they have sketchy internet, plugs in the wrong places, or just plain, normal annoyances a geek might have, I […]

When I write articles I often look for media – videos, audio, etc. to support the content I write.

Early this morning Rob Blackin posted a Cinch, debuting finally the ability to record audio straight from CinchCast.com’s own website. Until today users could post photos and status updates on the micro-podcasting network, but its core service, audio, could not be recorded from the site itself.

Most guys (and girls) who love Facebook like I do probably have a Facebook Page where those wanting to get a scoop of the latest in our professional lives can come learn, chat, and converse with each other.
