Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton kicked off the first episode of “The New Screen Savers” Web television show that geeks have been begging for, for more than 10 years.
As a fellow Geek myself I can not be more tech excited than this.
Here is Episode 1 of The New Screen Savers Found on the Twit Network.

Leo Laporte brought back a screen savers show called “The New Screen Savers”. Yep the show with Patrick Norton and Leo talking tech and answering questions is back. It looks like the launch was very quiet.
But we can fix that.

But who’s going to relaunch Tech Tv?
Maybe “The New Tech TV” or “Techy’s TV”
We shall see how The New Screen Savers plays out.

BTW love the way the intro works.

Actual drone playing the part of the drone.

Diggnation calls it Quits

Posted on2011/10/04AuthorTruXter

Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht call it quits.
Again.
So by the time one of the guys shaves their beard, the show will end and there will be no more Diggnation.
Diggnation was the forefront and pilot of internet media . This was the media that came from guys like you and I. This is a show from nothing that got sponsors by looking around the web saying “hey we get this many viewers, want us to mention you on the show??”.
Once Diggnation is gone, there will be no replacement. There will be no revival. because far as internet entertainment goes, nothing comes back to life successfully. and we lose interest and inspiration fast.

So.. farewell diggnation. I hope the rest of the crew at Revision 3 are smart enough to cut loss and sell everything to LEo from twit.tv while it’s still usable, and not wait until it’s worthless and bankrupt.
Tekzilla needs to be on the twit network.

So much for “new media”

Top Ten Podcasters of the Year: TruXter’s Choice

Posted on2009/12/032009/12/03AuthorTruXter

Well the year has brought so much news to the tech world, Via podcasts. Since that is a media source, TruXter tech Review will list the choice of podcasters for 2009. From tenth place down to the number one spot.

These podcasts are not necessarily all tech, it’s the means in which this media is brought to us that makes it tech. There is great talent and tons of devotion in these people, that is why they are making the list. There are some that are very talented but had no devotion or motivation to carry on this year as they had in the past years. So this year they will not be making it to this list. Some are great talent but a bit slacking this year so their scoring isn’t as wonderful as it could be. This post is not to bash, but show apreciation, keep that in mind if your or your favorite podcaster is not in the top 2.

There will be no award that can be given other than readers of this site, a chance to listen to the media on the podcaster’s site. So i hope they enjoy the notoriety, no matter how small the traffic might be or low the number of interested link followers their are.Well without further blathering, this is the list of 2009’s podcasters we hope to hear more from during 2010.

If you know someone with a podcast that should have made the list, leave their link. If it’s your link please let me know. i will gladly listen to more than one episode. probably every episode you do within 2010. Just respond to this post.

Tech Podcasts to start out August Work Schedule

Posted on2009/08/03AuthorTech News

Every week every day I have to start out listening to my shows. I start with sdr then move to the tech guythen caffination and then twit. Through out the week I pick out the rest. Following week, I start all over. Occasionally I get lucky and Jobacle has a new episode. If you send topic requests, he might actually research the topic and hook you up. Really well done program, just not enough of it there. The unsigned musicians portion of the show really is good stuff, most of time!

Twit This Week In Tech, a network created by Leo Laporte. Shows I highlight that I must listen to every week.

The Tech Guy, Net@Nite,TWIT.

Tech Podcast Network Place to hear tech podcasts and select from a few. sdr, linux news log, Mike Tech, CaffiNation,

Podnutz A gathering of tech podcasts on one network. pretty good stuff.

At the top of every page on the tech news site, there is a tool bar, you don’t have to use it but it does already have the podcasts I listed here in the rss feed and the radio player. I use that tool bar on my bootable linux thumb drive, my home pc, my laptop, my work pc , scanned a million times over there is nothing to fear from that bar it really is very useful. but again, you o not have to use it to try the podcasts I listed.
