The Home Tech Podcast #4 To the Cloud! What?
Dec 26th
Jim, Brian and Christian’s pre-Christmas Show! We start the show by covering Brian’s TAG Post on Windows Live Movie Maker and discover how to build great videos with this free software.
We also cover those crazy Microsoft Commercials where people say, “To the Cloud!” and no one knows why. We talk about each one of the commercials in depth and give the product solutions that Microsoft fails to give.
We put a post out there with the videos and the products used to achieve “cloudness!”

Since we were on the topic, we ask the question, Do you really want to keep everything in the cloud? There wasn’t a clear consensus!
Finally, we cover Jim’s Drobo post on the Home Server Show

To The Cloud! How Do You Really Do That?
Dec 25th
What does that really mean? In a very catchy ad campaign, Microsoft touts some of it’s newest technologies (and some old one’s too!) in an attempt to impress you enough to move “to the cloud!”
The only problem is that they don’t really tell you how to do it! Our crack team of technologist get to the bottom of each commercial and tell you how it’s done. We have imbedded each one for you to review. Software applications needed are listed below each video.
Sharing a Youtube Video (Most likely made with Windows Live Movie Maker) through Windows Live Messenger
Sharing Windows Live Office documents on SkyDrive or sharing Office documents using Windows Live Mesh.
Windows Live Mesh to pull up the screen of the PC at home and simple copy and paste to the local laptop to view with Windows Media Center. Window Media Center was also used to record the TV content at home.
Windows Live Essentials 2011 Bing Bar
Dec 5th
During last week’s inaugural podcast we talked about Windows Live Essentials 2011. One of the features in the suite is the Bing Toolbar. Even though none of us on the show use it (or any toolbar for that matter), it doesn’t mean the average user might not find it useful.
There are some interesting things you can do with the Bing Bar and it does allows you access to information online quickly. Here we’ll take a look at what you can expect from the Bing Bar, and hopefully provide enough information so you can make your own decision on whether you want to use it or not.
Installing the Bing Bar
Like we talked about on the podcast and showed you in our overview of Live Essentials 2011, you don’t need to install everything in the suite right away. So in this example we already have Mail and Photo Gallery & Movie Maker installed. All you need to do is run the Live Essentials installer again and select what you want.
