Good resource- To transfer audio from aging cassette tapes or records, you’ll need some basic audio hardware and recording software. Cassette Deck or Turntable The first thing you’ll need is a cassette deck that can play back your tapes or a turntable for your records. Any tape deck with audio-out jacks should work...Link.
Now when you are on the road you can look up a free hotspot quickly and easily right from your iPod. No, the iPod isn’t wi-fi enabled (yet). wiPod uses the Notes functionality of the iPod OS to store the database in an easy to use format. Link.
CommonBits has an article for the folks who haven’t hopped on the Torrent train yet- BitTorrent, you hear about it a lot, and we’re starting to see a lot of independent films, shows, music and more get distributed- but getting the non-techies installing and configuring is always a good thing too (we get a lot of emails about this).

Ask Slashdot has posed an interesting question looking for a cheap (under $50) word processor for banging out notes on the go. I think my favorite one is the $9 (Ebay) DreamWriter NTS 325. Seems like you can get the data off fairly easily too. Link.
Jay Leno did a text off between two text messengers and two Morse coders. Here’s a video of it (WMV). The Morse coders handily beat the young whippersnappers with time to spare. Comments from the Morse code guys here. It might be a fun phone app to make a Morse code messenger, if you kept your headset in and had an external sender, could be interesting. Perhaps a Morse code Skype device…[via Waxy].
Gizmodo has a story about the new Kodak EasyShare camera- the Wifi camera with a really slick UI. I’ve been looking forward to this for awhile, but now it seems like it will be delayed until October. More bad news- the camera might only upload to Kodak’s Ofoto service (not Flickr or your own personal site/blog/other service). When it comes out I think we can expect both firmware and DNS hacks (like the PSP browser tricks) from folks who want to use more than just Kodak’s service. For $400+ it really needs to send your photos where you want them to go. Unless Kodak plans to significantly subsidize the cameras carrier-style, seems like a really odd move that won’t help sales Link.
