A Must Have New Jing Release

You have heard me talk about Jing in the past and now there's one more reason for downloading it.  Jing is a free software package that lets you capture and add visuals to everyday online conversations.  The new release has added the ability your screen captures to Twitter.

Use Jing to:

• Capture a picture of her computer screen
• Recorded video of your onscreen activities
• Then share via Twitter, email or instant messaging

It is available for either Windows or Mac OS X

And the best part is, It's free!  So if Twitter is one of your main stays, there is a no other way to take your Twitter stand out from your peers.

Logitech® Webcam C905

We received a new Logitech® Webcam C905 and put it into use right away. We connected it on Jude’s desktop and setup Skype so he could make internet video call using this program.

The unit plugged right into Jude’s Windows 7 machine and instantly saw it and offered to download the device drivers off of the web. A minute later he was running.

This Webcam has a crystal clear image and really good sound quality. I am going to see how well it will pick up and recognize his speech patterns for use with voice to text recognition and will report back on that in a few days. I liked it so much that I am picking one up for myself as well.

I think that its quality is very similar to Logitech’s 9000 pro’s version and would not hesitate picking this unit up.

A few highlights: HiDef, Autofocus, Closeup, Universal Clip, Work with most IM applications, Built-in mic with Right Sound™, Carl Zeiss® Optics, 2 megapixel sensor and Right Light™ 2 Technology. There is also a fun feature available using Logitech® Video Effects™. It’s easy to spice things up with neon splashes, fish-eye distortions, and more.

Video Studio is just about here

We are putting together a video studio that we will be using to put together a simple weekly support video for our customers. We are looking forward to this new addition to our support portfolio and will be posting these videos for your use in several different places. I will continue blogging on this site of course, and will be creating content both in the studio as well as from my desktop. We are looking forward to sharing with you tips, tricks and new product reviews of the many technology related items that we have found. We hope you will find this new venture helpful and enjoyable as well. Welcome to our world of Tech Talk with Bob and Jude!

We had a beautiful visitor at CCI

I have been told that this guy has been around the area for awhile now. These magnificent birds are so beautiful.

He was probably a red-tailed hawk, not being a consistent bird watcher I am not 100% sure. But I love the coloring on his face. The wind was really blowing some cold air which made him puff his feathers more. At first when he turned his head to look at me creeping up on him they were so puffed up I thought his head looked like an owl. Then the laid back down and you could tell that he was not.

The branches of the tree he was perched in were so thin that while he was he sitting there they bounced up and down in the wind quite a bit.
