I had a chance today to speak with Fox 8’s Morning Show team again today as part of their “Tech Know” segment. This time I explained how to cut down on power use by your computer and its accessories.

The Mozilla Development Center has announced a June 17th release date for Firefox 3.

I’ve added another podcast to my list of favorites: You Look Nice Today.

This series, which involves Merlin Mann of 43 Folders fame, is often offensive, but always funny.

My interview with “Mister T” can be found, along with all the other videos myself and Deputy Field Marshal Walrod collected during our trip, can be found on my Geek Squad Invades 2008 New York Comic Con page.

Since Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, it’s the perfect time to bring back one of my favorite pieces of Adobe Flash video There She Is!, a tale of cat and the rabbit who loves him created by the Korean trio SamBakZa.

If you’re an owner of the first generation of Microsoft’s Zune MP3 player, you’ll probably want to head to the download page for today’s big launch of the updated software. After a year of using the original software, the latest version is faster and easier to use. It also includes support for podcasts, a missing feature critics have often pointed to.

The software also includes a nice bonus for owners of the original 30GB hardware in the form of a firmware update that will put the same software running on the newly released second generation Zunes, providing much of the same features on the existing equipment.

If you’re looking into purchasing a new Zune, CNet has video reviews of both the new 80GB and flash-based 4GB models, which they seem to like.

The Meister Mom and her Halloween decorations made it into the Community section of Sunday’s News Herald newspaper in an article written by Janet Podolak:

Meister has been decorating for Halloween sinze the late 1970s — well before it became a trend.

Her specialty has become moveable characters that she invites visiting children to touch. They’re battery-operated, which keeps her electric bills modest, and they are complete with howling and blood-curdling screams.

Although some of her displays have body parts, she tries not to let things get too scary because she loves seeing the little kids in their costumes, she said.

Her little fright fest is set up so guests have to pass through a cobwebed archway first.

That way, I don’t miss any of the little ones,” she said.

Some of them are so intrigued looking at my creatures that they forget to come for candy,” Meister added. “And many of the grownups come back with their friends.”

If you’re looking for photos of our previous year setups, you can find them in our Holiday Photo Gallery, as well as our Halloween 2006 Video.

Trick or Treat in the city of Painesville will be from 6 to 8pm this Wednesday, October 31st.
