Appearance: 10/10 = 100%
I love the theme of this personal blog site. It’s very simple but still very appealing to the eye. You get drawn into the main focus of the website which is the content this user writes about. Overdoing the overall theme of a blog is a huge no no. Anything that will draw your focus off the content of what the user writes is a huge mistake. All that has to do with the theme of the site. The over all look.
Layout: 9/10 = 90%
The layout of your sites content is excellent. It’s all very well placed in appropriate locations. I really like the easy access to subscribe to your site via email on the right hand side of the site. The way you have the bottom tool bar is excellent. I love how you add your twitter and facebook pages right to that tool bar for easy access for your visitors.
Activity: 7/10 = 70%
The activity of this users website isn’t perfect, but it isn’t poor either. It’s in between. Your site doesn’t get a ton of viewers, but it seems to me that you get enough visits a day to get by. Getting more subscribers and more visits should be your goal for your website.
Pros
The design of the website is very simple and gets the job done. Fits together very professionally.
The tool bar located at the bottom of the bar shows that you have dedication to your work and want to supply the best for your visitors.
Your content is excellent. By reading your posts, I can easily tell you are into the technology field. Work hard at it!
Cons
Need to update your content more often. It’s to spread out between days.
Too many posts viewable on home page. No need to have more then 5 visible.
Very great site Nick!

The Kodak Zi8 brought a whole new meaning to, “HD Handheld Video Camera.” I’m sure many of you have heard of the Flip Mino series. Well, I believe that Kodak was inspired by them and had to go above and beyond what Flip was doing. I feel that in a few more years, Kodak will be the leading brand for hand held video camera’s. After reviewing the Kodak Zi8 and the Flip Mino’s side by side, the Kodak won my vote.
As many of you noticed, I have recently purchased the Kodak Zi8. The Kodak Zi8 offers and amazing, crystal clear HD video with crystal clear audio. This camera can produce, 720p in 30fps, 720p in 60fps, or 1080p! Now, what other brand of hand held video camera can produce a 1080 HD quality video for under $200. Certainly not the Flip HD Ultra/Mini.
Now, since you know what the camera can produce in quality, let me tell you some of the features. Like I said, the video quality is outstanding. Instead of having built in memory, you have an external memory card slot which can hold up to 32gb of video memory. Now, for capturing video, 32gb is a lot of storage for a portable camera.
With the Kodak Zi8, you don’t only have to use the microphone on the device. You can plug in an external microphone for people to have higher quality in audio. Again, the Flip models do NOT have this option. I think that is a huge winner for many people doing interviews of some sort.
Now yes, the rest of the features on the camera are a lot similar to the Flip models. You have a pop USB port to hook up to the computer. So, this means, that wires will never get tangled with this device. It will always be simple and clean.
I’m not so sure what else I should say about this product besides it’s simply amazing. If you are stuck between the Flip Series or this Kodak Zi8, I highly recommend purchasing the Zi8. I know you won’t be upset at all with this product. I rate it 5/5. Yes, that’s right, it’s perfect!

I’m sure many of you are saying to yourself, “What on Earth is this Synergy Software Mr. TechJohnson is talking about?” Well have no fear, I’m here to tell you about this awesome/amazing piece of software. First off, if you don’t know what it is, then you aren’t a “true” geek. Have you ever wanted to use the same keyboard and the same mouse for two totally different computers? This piece of software allows you to do just so. By the way, did I mention that it’s FREE! Yes, that’s right, free. If you go to google and type in synergy download, click the first link and download it. You will not regret it. There are some slight issues thought with this piece of software. It tends to slow down your mouse when going on to the computer that your hardware isn’t plugged into. This isn’t such a big issue though. Sometimes, it’s a complete pain in the rear to get it set up correctly. It took me a few tries. Once I got it, there are still some settings you have to change in order for it to turn on automatically when you turn on your computers. The great thing about this software is that it’s cross platform. You can use it on any operating system which is a huge deal for many users out there in the world. If you have more then one computer and you hate changing between keyboards/mice, I highly recommend that you download this free software!
