Here’s video from a recent appearance on Fox 8’s morning news program where I got a chance to talk about the February 2009 digital TV transition.

DSLReports has an entry up where they do the math on just how much you’re really paying for those cell phone text messages, now that T-Mobile has joined other providers in charging 20 cents per message.

According to the math done by others, those 140 byte messages being sent at 20 cents each add up to $1,310 per megabyte. Considering that the average $20 USB flash drive these days is measure in gigabytes, and the average broadband Internet connection is measured in megabits per second, it’s amazing how much we pay per text message.

As for the reference in the title, it comes from articles on the idea that for the price you pay for the average inkjet printer cartridge, a gallon of printer ink would cost you over $5000.

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.

Engagdet.com is reporting that a line has formed at the 5th Avenue Apple Store for no official reason and has photos of the queue posted to prove it.

The New York Times had a Small Business section today with an article entitled You Can Call for I.T. Help Without Hiring a Whole Crew that talks about computer support options for those smaller organizations that can’t hire a full or even part time technical support person.

From the article:

Amy Wright, a collision repair consultant who works from her home in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, had Geek Squad set up her computer and digital camera and the wireless Internet connection in her home office, as well as the Sony video recorder her husband uses. When it came time to upgrade her computers, printers and monitors, she spent about $2,800 at Best Buy.

“You can call them for help, but you don’t have to have them on a full-time basis,” Ms. Wright said of Geek Squad.

It’s definitely a little weird seeing your photo in a major newspaper, but I’m glad I got the chance.

I came across Tripletz.com today, which offers a neat way to send a different kind of message to your friends and family than the usual greetings card.

For $4.99, you can have three customized cards sent on three consecutive days to anyone. The cards can use either your own customized message to be spread out over those three days, or you can use any of the designs submitted by other users of the service.
