Nerd, nature lover, animal lover. When not on Friendfeed I'm kayaking, hiking, playing with my mutts or piddling around home doing chores, gardening and fixups.
I just started reading "This Wheel's on Fire", the story of The Band written by Levon Helm. Great story about one of the great rock & roll bands. Highly recommended.
Fridays After Five

Great event, free concert every Friday evening where I live in Charlottesville, VA. Always loads of fun. Great locally brewed beer too. - jcunwired via email

"The Love/Avon Army of Women offers a revolutionary new opportunity for YOU to partner with research scientists to move us beyond a cure. Breast cancer has been around for decades, but it does not have to be our future. We can be the generation that eliminates breast cancer by identifying what causes this disease and stopping it before it starts. Sign up for your sister, mother, daughter, granddaughter, best friend, and the woman you met last week. Help us eradicate breast cancer once and for all. Join the Army of Women today!" - jcunwired via Bookmarklet

Reader’s Digest Moves Right of Middle-America - NYTimes.com
"For 87 years, Reader’s Digest, that monthly breadbasket of condensed articles, can-do tales and grandmother-approved jokes, has aimed squarely at Middle America. Now it is aiming a little more to the right. After years of trying to broaden the appeal of Reader’s Digest, the publishers are pushing it in a decidedly conservative direction. It is cutting down on celebrity profiles and ramping up on inspiring spiritual stories. Out are generic how-to magazine features; in are articles about military life. “It’s traditional, conservative values: I love my family, I love my community, I love my church,” said Mary Berner, the president and chief executive of Reader’s Digest Association." - jcunwired via Bookmarklet
I thought RD was a winger publication 10 years ago. Shows how far left I am, I guess. - Steve Lowe
Hah, yeah, what Steve said. =) - Andrew C
Really. How much further right can they go? - Dinah via BuddyFeed
These Yo Yo's sold my parents three separate subscriptions. They are subscribed through 2015 and I doubt RD lasts that long. - Russellreno
"Squarely" is right. When I was a kid, I thought "oh, it's neat how Reader's Digest covers so many topics". Later on I realized that actually The New Yorker was the place to go for that. Lately the covers for RD that I've caught at the dentist's office and so on have been making me gag, all these babies doing nauseatingly cute stuff to make their "inspiring" points. I had a feeling it had deteriorated into complete rubbish. - Kamilah Gill

Blue Jeans Cable shows off 100-ft unamplified HDMI cable
"Getting more than about 30-feet of HDMI cable to make good on its "just plug it in, and it works" promise has always been challenging, but Blue Jeans showed off a 100-foot stretch of its 23.5AWG HDMI cable carrying 1080p/60 material at InfoComm this week. No exotic lights, ferrite beads, cryogenic gimmickry or even speed rating here, just quality bulk Belden wire with Bonded-Pair technology that maintains a constant cable impedance and keeps all those bits flowing in synch" - jcunwired via Bookmarklet

Does anyone have experience enough to make a recommendation on a solar charger for gadgets (phone, ipod, gps)?
I have a Solio, its not quick enough to charge. I've looked into both Solius and Powermonkey. I'd like to have something that I can take on outdoor excursions. Thanks in advance for any thoughts. - jcunwired
PowerMonkey eXplorer by PowerTraveller works for me really well for Nokia phone, Archos PMP, iPod Touch (finicky adapter - need to replace it), PSP, camera. https://powertraveller.com/iwantso... - Rui Pereira
That one looks the most promising. There were a couple that were shown at CES that looked interesting, but not on the market yet. - jcunwired

You should ask Rove on Twitter. :D - Jack Carlson

AT&T network not ready yet for all Apple iPhone 3G S functions - USATODAY.com
"Later this summer, AT&T plans to start upgrading its wireless software with "HSPA" — short for high-speed packet access. Once the upgrade is complete — by 2011, AT&T says — "3G S owners will have a significantly better experience" on the mobile Web, Entner says. (HSPA isn't compatible with the 3G iPhone; you'll need to upgrade your device to take advantage of it.)" - jcunwired via Bookmarklet
So the "S" part is not a feature users can take advantage of for another 18 months. Is it worth upgrading now for a better camera? - jcunwired
