From the Guys who brought you the Home Tech Podcast, and a production of the Average Guy Network, Rich’s RPG is a weekly show about the world of technology hosted by Jim Collison and Rich O’Neil. Using Google+ hangout to meet up with technology guys and gals, they discuss whatever is hot, current or frustrating them at the moment. No outlines, no agenda, no worries.

Mar 12th
Jim, Brian, Andrew and special guest and good friend of the show, John Zajdler come together for the next edition of the Home Tech Podcast. Starting with a listener comment, we spoke a bunch about LiveCams and video equipment. In a tangent, we talked about music quality and USB Record Players and Tuners. Is the WebOS making its way a printer near you? Maybe on a laptop? We wrap up the show with some discussion around the Windows, Mac and Ubuntu OS.
If you haven’t been out on the Average Guy Site, it’s worth a new look. Our site designer has been at work fixing and cleaning up the site. Jacob Wiechman is a web designer and we look forward to the many more improvements he has ahead for us!

Recently we showed you how to setup Windows Live Essentials 2011. We also took a closer look at one of the apps – the Bing Bar, and today we will take a look at Windows Live Writer which is a valuable program for bloggers.
Installing Windows Live Writer
If you haven’t installed it already just download and kick off the Windows Live Essentials installer. Remember you don’t need to install everything in the suite and when the install kicks off, select Choose the programs you want to install.
