Software Radio Technology Review: Software Radio. Electrical engineer Vanu Bose is using software to make wireless devices smarter. In May, the company he founded and heads, Cambridge, MA-based Vanu, demonstrated a prototype handheld able to send and receive both walkie-talkie and digital police-band signals.

I see this html page serving 3 main purposes for audioblogging: Archival purposes - what did I say, audioblog on this day Links to all versions of the media file available to html browser users.  ie. Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and WAV Can be used by Google and other search engines for search crawling purposes Which brings me to some interesting questions about how to best create this html file to serve Google, Technorati and other search engine crawling.  I wonder if Dave Sifry of Technorati could shed some light here. 12:47:10 PM  comment []    trackback []     Wireless Heart Monitoring Wireless Heart Monitoring. CardioNet, uses wireless technology to monitor heart patients. According to Computerworld, the technology was "originally developed by Qualcomm Inc. to track and send messages to large truck fleets."

If this second day, Birds-Of-Feather meetings become interesting, I might drive up from Jersey Saturday morning, find a blogger dinner that night, spend the night, attend the next morning and drive home Sunday afternoon.  Basically giving the event my weekend. My first question is, will the pound rooms have WIFI to Internet?  I didn't see it listed as tools available.  Matters alot!!  Opens the potential for live Internet/Web demostrations, live blogging, sessions for people who write weblog software and aggregators, etc. Update from Dave: "BTW, yes we will have WiFi at BC, both days."  Cool!! I would like to participate in a track of sessions about "Next generation blogging technology".   I like to see a whole track focus on the ideas behind potential new blogging technology features that people are working on in their labs.  New examples of using Multimedia, Social Computing, mobile blogging, etc.  Ideas still in the lab and on the minds of the blog world thinkers. Petre dish kind of stuff. This kind of session would fit in well with the sessions for people who write weblog software and aggregators.  May even give the people who write the software a reason to come.  During one of these sessions, I would even volunteer to talk a little about what I know about audioblogging from the inside out, my AudioBlogging Gateway design and the latest implementation of “My Blog Voice Channel”, the latest idea I'm working on in my personal blogging lab.  There is a working/living/changing beta of “My Blog Voice Channel” located in the left gutter of my weblog. If Dave and the BloggerCon planning committee continue to listen, tweak and adjust BloggerCon, this could turn into a Blogger event for the blogging community worthy of the time and money invested and spent. Here's a rough outline of changes we're making to BloggerCon pricing. It's still in draft mode. Official rollout date is Monday. If you're the kind of person who likes to read finished stuff, please wait till Monday. BTW, I just got the scholarship form working.

Think of groups you'd like to get together in a Pound Hall classroom. They're large rooms, with comfortable seating.
