I started a new blog: xtgo.net.  It’s merely a branch of my current blog.  I realize that most people don’t care to read about the techy stuff that I write about from time to time.  Additionaly, there are people who don’t care to read about… well… everything else.  So… in an attempt to be a bit more focused, blog.xtego.com will continue to be about personal stuff and will continue to be published to facebook.  Xtgo.net, on the other hand, will encompass all things techy.  So… if you’ve enjoyed my nerdiness in the past I invite you to check out my new blog.

Panasonic is suposedly going to roll out production of a new 3D camera.  It sports two lenses fused together to form native 3D capturing using a single device.  For those of you who know how 3D video works, you would know that there are a couple of ways to do it.  While I’ve never messed around with it myself, I do understand some of the basic concepts.  Whether one wants to create 3D illusions from polarity or using color accents, both cases require two angles.  Previously, of course, this was done with 2 cameras.  Fancy the fact that it will now be possible with one.  You’ve heard it said, everything is better with bluetooth, (CBS’s “The Big Bang Theory,” Sheldon speaking) well I say… “Everything is better in three dimensions.”

… it was 2009. Happy New Year everybody. Be safe, have fun, stick to your resolutions… and be on the lookout for the marshmallow man.

I decided yesterday that I really want to push to monetize my blog. Okay good plan. But how?  Well for those of you aren’t reading this as a facebook note, you’ve probably noticed that my stories now have a fair number of Google ads around them. (No more then 3 per page. I read the agreement, Google.)  I’ve been using Google adsense for years now. I’ve embedded some of the ads onto past Xtego conglomerations.  And I’ve had adsense in place on this blog since its conception.  Xtego also employees a Google Search.  (search.xtego.com).  For my fellow bloggers out there who don’t use adsense yet, I highly recommend it.  All ads on your page will be relevant to the content of that page.  So people that hit your site based on a search, see ads for that same search.  It’s pretty wild.

So… if you start seeing more geeky reviews and nerdy how-to’s, well, deal.  Cause that’s what draws the hits.
