The SS United States – Lady in Waiting

I had the opportunity to watch the upcoming documentary on the SS United State Ocean Liner called Lady in Waiting. It is a restrospective of the history of the Fastest Ocean Liner ever and one that brought my family and me to the United States back in 1964. The Ocean liner has been rusting away near the Walt Whitman bridge in Pa however it’s most recent owner, NCL, has plans to have it serve as a Cruise Ship. The Film was directed by Robert Radler (Best of the Best) and edited with Apple’s Final Cut editing software. We spoke recently of the project and I have posted the audio on the TechtalkRadio website at http://www.techtalkradio.com

Check out the Trailer for the Film Here:

Digsby Sweeps in Four of Five Best IM catagories for 2008 IM.About.com awards

This really isn’t a surprise to the Digsby community, that the new upstart’s program would dominate the “Best IM” poll conducted by About.com contributor Brian De Hoyos…That Digsby was beat out by the old timer Yahoo! Messanger 9.0 for “Best IM Experience,” has this user/writer astonished! (they must’ve broadcast a call for help to there millions of users…lucky for them 5590 responded. Wonder what percent of the user base THAT is! LOL)
PERSONALLY I’ve tried all the IM’s out there, at one time or another, and none of them kept my attention for more than a couple of weeks. Boring interfaces, unwanted ads and intrusions, etc., had me sticking to emailing as my online contact resource.
Then along came Digsby…and I was gladly dragged into the online world known as “social networking.” I can track multiple friends in multiple places, simply and seemlessly…and even Twitter to the world, all from one convenient UI.
Congratulations Digsby and the team at dotSyntax, LLC for this awesome program.
