Since then we’ve looked to launch a new podcast network, taking the next step and launching multiple shows. An idea inspired by Leo Laporte over at the twit.tv network ,  I love pushing content and wanted a new perspective from the new generations eye and release new shows & even get the community involved in producing their own shows that can be featured on the network. Our recent purchase of www.thetechworld.org is to contribute were we’ll host our main content for the tech world and the podcast network over there as well.

Our show plan will be posted below on the shows we’ll be launching over the weeks and current one we have now…

The Tech-World Podcast ( Tech-News , Reviews & Tips )

Social-Buzz (Social Networking & Web 2.0 Tips)

App-Itizer ( App-Store news and reviews)

Tech-Topic ( Technology Topic questions submitted by the community)

* We also plan on launching a podcast on Gadgets,  Video & Audio Media , Windows etc more shows will be added to the list soon as we organize show names etc.

As I mentioned the shows will be launched over the weeks and the calendar below is our public Tech-Podcast Network , its in the Tokyo, Japan GMT timezone as for exact times of recording and release they haven’t exactly been determined but will be tweeted and live streamed for each show , we also plan to upload the video recordings of the show in the future. As well as add new equipment and upgrades to our live stream along with mics , lighting etc.

This calendar will be updated through the weeks as we update our shows , as I said earlier we also look to allow the community to have their own podcast section so that everyone can have access to podcasts from not only us at the tech-world but our audiences shows as well.

We plan to update on times , shows , names etc as we release thetechworld.org I’ll give a more in depth tour of the podcasting section for both the tech-world and community section. We hope you enjoy the podcasts and new shows to come please help support by doing one of the following

- Donate to help show equipment financing etc

-E-mail us questions , feedback etc for us to read on the podcasts

Again we thank you for the support so far and hope the podcast network will be a success stay tuned as we release links to our new shows through the weeks.

First off I wanted to talk about the new site theme and changes

Techified Theme

The theme for the blog has changed to a 3 Column theme that also supports a feature post ticker at the top of the page showing you featured content. The theme also makes navigating to certain categories such as News, Applications , How to much easier and also has a nav bar for the website pages. Overall the theme is more professional and makes it easier for you the readers to navigate.
AD Revenue

Also as some of you may notice since the recent problems of adsense we haven’t had any ads on the site till recent were we switched to the “Adbrite ” network and have inserted two ads to the side of the site and as well as in link ads and web page ads. These are just to test how they can play in helping support the blog and bringing whatever revenue possible to help the site. If any suggestions , comments ,concerns on the ads feel free to leave a comment below or if your interested in supporting the site in any way feel free to donate any amounts to my paypal email over at kidgurucenter@gmail.com

NEED NEW WRITERS=

Since the blogs been growing and pushes out a variety of different content we need more writers for sections like software/hardware reviews , tech-news etc. As of current the list of writers haven’t been posting and will be removed from the blog if content is not posted at least within 2 weeks. If your interested in writing send me an email filling out this application

• NAME
• AGE
• WEBSITE ( IF YOU ONE)
• Main EMAIL
• Areas you can help write for

EMAIL IS – adrianstech@gmail.com or message me over at twitter.com/kidguru

THE TECH-WORLD

(UPCOMING PROJECT )

Lastly I wanted to mention my current project in the works that will be released in the near future. As some people have noticed wee493 and I purchased the domain ” thetechworld.org ” I plan to make the domain our home page for all the tech-world content such as videos, blog posts, podcasts etc. A one stop shop site for your feeds as well , a site were you can pick your favorite sites as you would in google reader and even submit your own site to the community in hopes of more views etc. Another big contributing part of site will be the PODCAST NETWORK as of now we run one podcast The Tech-World Podcast featuring the latest technology news for the week . Our plan is to unravel at least 3-5 + more technology based shows . More information on the project will be coming soon  .

Till then keep your feed back and support coming by leaving comments , emails , etc.

Thanks for all your support up to this point we hope here at Tech-World to continue to keep you updated in the technology world and produce as much content for the community as possible.

BORED MUCH?

The web is full of many different sites and stuff to do , so if you ever get bored on the web maybe you’ve completed all your daily tasks on web and just have more time to waste and need something to do. Here’s my recommendations and tips on stuff to keep you active on the internet.

* Read or Start A Blog!

Blogging has became much more popular as the web evolved whether it’s a personal , professional , tips & tricks blog etc.

My recommendations  for some great blogs to waste time on are

- LIFEHACKER ( Tips & Downloads for Getting Things Done )

- MAKEUSEOF ( Cool Websites , Software and Internet Tips)

-PRODUCTIVITY501 ( Tips and tricks on all your productivity needs)

-FIREFOX FACTS ( Firefox Tips, Themes, News & More)

-SMARTERWARE ( Great tips & software blogs from Lifehacker’s Gina Trapani )

-PROBLOGGER ( Great Tips to on all that’s Blogging )

-DUNCSWEB ( Mobilephone2003/ Duncan Maile’s technology tips and tricks blog )

& of course if you’d rather be writing your own material then start a blog!

Many services like

WordPress , Blogger , VOX , Squarespace ( Use Promo Code : “Techworld” to save 10% )  are just some services to name a few to help you get started up making a blog and then going out and sharing it to the world.

*  Get Networking

The web is more then ever is about communicating  , the tools we have in this web 2.0 generation make contacting old  & new friends simple and very effective. Try going out and joining some networks and seeing who’s on & get networking….

Some of my favorites networks are-

TWITTER

YOUTUBE

FRIEND FEED

MYSPACE

FACEBOOK

Are all great sites to get networking with friends and family and waste  TONS of time.

* BEEF UP  YOUR HOME PAGE

If your homepage is still yahoo or google , you may want to try beefing it up using new services to not just get your favorite search engine but your mail , news feeds , cool widgets etc all on one page when you start your browser.

My favorite services that I’ve used are-

iGoogle (Googles Home Page Solution filled with great widgets )

Netvibes ( A great alternative to  iGoogle with a new themed style of page)

PageFlakes (Similar to Netvibes just with a different look & widgets)

Symbaloo ( Simple , sweet and great interfaced homepage)

Spice up you home web page to get the most productive feeds all at your fingertips and it’s always fun setting up a new homepage.

*Play Some Games

Nothing beats boredom like a game and the web is full of them , check out some of my favorite sites to waste time shooting zombies, solving puzzles , or whatever you may  choose.

Play Auditorium ( Very highly addictive puzzle/music game )

MiniClip – (Tons of free games to waste hours on )

Quake Live ( A Quake port to an online web version VERY FUN)

*Learn Something New!

Schools starting soon and it’s always fun to me anyway, to learn something new that I’m just interested in at the time or just something that crosses my path. The web is full of info whether its video, text guides , audio ,  there’s just so much stuff to learn why not go out and learn something new…

-Learn Some Programming – (Whether its basic HTML, PHP, C++ etc there are so many ways to learn to create a website and program , teaching you from the basics to advanced tips and tricks)

- W3 School

- CSS Play 

-PHP.NET

- Heres also a great repository for programming resources etc from Google (http://code.google.com/)

or you can simply google the language you want to learn =)

-Learn how to play a instrument online- ( Learn to play anything from guitar to the piano all on the web!)

A great post by lifehacker on great youtube channels of musicians helping you learn how to play your instrument  (http://lifehacker.com/391435/learn-to-play-an-instrument-online)

Cnet’s article on multiple instruments – http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10308536-2.html?part=rss&tag=feed&subj=Webware

Guitar – http://lifehacker.com/5336711/learn-to-play-the-guitar-online

Again a simple google search will also suffice…

HAPPY NEW YEAR

1. Wireless Router – This is helpful if you are spending a few days with someone who might have Internet but they are connected directly into the modem so they don’t have a router. This way you can connect your iPod, iPhone, Laptop, xBox, ect. to wifi and everyone can be happy at once.
2. USB drive with common applications – This can be really helpful if you are visiting a grandparent who still uses IE and you know that explaining that firefox will load the same web pages as IE will be too confusing for them. This way you can run all the applications you do at home without getting a call the next week from your grandparents asking what iTunes and why is it on their desktop.
3. Wall Chargers & USB cables – Most likely grandma doesn’t have the USB cable for the iPod to connect to the computer so always bring your own cables & wall chargers.
4. Set up Application for Mobile Access – Make sure that you can access your desktop from home with applications like gotomeeting or logmein. Just incase you forget a document that someone needs or need to begin a download that you forgot the start. Also if you have a word press blog make sure you have the mobile admin plug-in. Without the plug-in you can not post to word press from your iPod and some cell phones. This plug-in also makes the admin interface more optimized for the iPod/iPhone for a better look and faster load times.
5. iPod/iPhone full of music & Podcasts – Make sure you have an iPod with the latest music and tons of podcasts. Also its a great time to try out new podcasts while your traveling. Just download a few episodes of Twit and you’ll be set for the road.

Disclamer: sorry zune fans for me only mentioning iPods & iPhones in this article.

First Video

Developers can write Java like code to run on the android, but It unfortunately does not currently support applications in native code. . It also has great integration with Google maps because, well… its made by Google obviously! You can view google maps just like on the iPhone. Overall the Android looks like a great platform for developers and you should definitely look into it if you are with T-Mobile.
