Podcasts about iworld

In black metal and death metal, it's always been a mark of excellence to push things to "inhuman" extremes. But what does that even mean? And why do we find beauty, truth, even inspiration, in the music of inhumanity? This week, we bring you four strong, inventive underground releases, each with its own inhuman aesthetic. Oppressive Descent (black metal) soars over WWI hellscapes on wings of elegiac, Old World song. Sickening Horror (tech death) sequences crystalline riffs at the heart of the void. Thecodontion (black/death) uses only bass and drums to channel the rumbling of tectonic plates, and the swirling of elemental force. Fluids (brutal death/grind) peels back the shiny plastic skin of our all-too-comfortable iWorld, revealing the blood and guts beneath. Towards the end of the show, in a segment we've begun to call "Autism Hour," we delve deeper into the ideas of inhumanity behind Fluids and Oppressive Descent. If you're interested in this stuff, we suggest going back to check out the end of Episode 2, where a review of Encenathrakh spirals into our first take on the difference between DM and BM inhumanity. (Episode 2 is currently podcast-only -- coming soon to Youtube.) 00:00 - Introductory bullshitting / rundown of bands and labels 06:40 - Oppressive Descent - Alchemy and War (Red Door Records) 51:55 - Sickening Horror - Chaos Revamped (Pathologically Explicit Recordings) 01:18:08 - Thecodontion - Supercontinent (I, Voidhanger / Repose Records) 01:43:39 - Fluids - Ignorance Exalted (Maggot Stomp) 02:17:14 - Autism Hour - inhumanity and power

Series: The grand scheme of things

What is our culture telling us about sex and sexuality? Is the culture pointing us and our kids to a kind of sexual flourishing that reflects God's will and way for our sexuality? And what does it mean to have a biblical understanding of sexuality? In this episode, we're talking to college professor and author Dale Kuehne about his book "Sex and the iWorld," the current sexual mood on campus, how to have conversations with students about sexuality and a whole lot more. Walt and Jason open the podcast with a discussion about holidays, porn and sex ed, college loan money and spending, TIME's most influential teens, CoverGirl's cover boy, shoplifting and the phenomenon of drunkorexia.

In a previous show, Host Jenee Darden took you on a geeky journey through the MacWorld/iWorld Conference in San Francisco. Now she’s exploring wearable devices and devices that help manage your health at the conference. Jenee speaks with Jeff Gamet, managing editor of The Mac Observer magazine. He says some of these devices helped him lose weight. Listen as they discuss wearable technology, smart scales and gadgets that even can send info about your vital signs to your doctor. 

Host Jenee Darden was in geek heaven when she attended the MacWorld/iWorld Conference in San Francisco. It’s a fun conference where you can find out what’s new and what’s up with Apple and technology. Jenee look for gadgets that could also be wellness tools.  She learned about making her own custom cell phone cases with VivoPrint.   Then she played with a device from Livescribe that brings handwritten notes to your iPad.  And a small camera from the company Closeli helps you keep an eye on things through your phone, while you’re away.  

Thinking about getting a GoPro? WAIT! If you've already got an iPhone, you should definitely check out the Optrix PhotoProX -- a rugged, waterproof iPhone case (to 33 feet) with interchangeable lenses. In addition to the camera case itself, Optrix offers a huge variety of accessories including bike mounts, tripod connectors, suction mounts, chest mounts, and much more. My only advice: Make sure you're not expecting an important call while shooting your action adventure! It might be tough to get to your phone while it's mounted to the hood of your car.

The Grip and Shoot is a re-imagined, Bluetooth enabled, mighty awesome pistol-grip for iPhone videographers. While I've seen dozens of iPhone handles meant to offer some much needed stabilization, the Grip and Shoot is the first such mount to bring something exciting to the table -- control. The handle features three well-positioned buttons that provide wireless control over your iPhone camera's zoom and shutter functions! As a result, not only will your videos have smoother zooms, but your other hand can remain free for whatever else is required (Pointing a mic? Aiming a light? Holding back zombies?). For me, the Grip and Shoot was one of this year's coolest discoveries. While the product is still in its infancy, it has piles of potential. Check out the video!

It's not often I'll cover a hard drive on HHH. In fact, I think this is the first time. So what makes this hard drive unique? It's a stand-alone personal "cloud" that can be used as remote storage for the videos you shoot in the field. What? Ok... let's back up. If you're shooting a ton of video on your iPhone or iPad, you're eventually going to run out of storage space. What then? Well, if you're close to home or have a laptop, you can sync your iThing to your computer and suck those videos right into your application of choice (I'm still using iPhoto). With your videos safely transferred, you can erase them from your iDevice, free up all that space, and continue shooting. But, what if you're nowhere near home, and don't have a laptop with you? How can you offload your videos and free up space? With My Cloud! The My Cloud drive lives on your home or office network (no computer needed). Using a dedicated iOS app, you can access that drive from anywhere, and upload your videos to it remotely. After the videos have uploaded, you can delete them from your device and continue shooting! Downsides? Sure! Since we're talking about gigabytes of data, so the upload could take hours even on WiFi. Speaking of WiFi, make sure you're using it! Uploading that much data over a cellular network would cost a fortune (and take a week). There are other cloud solutions out there (Dropbox, Transporter, etc.), but I was attracted to My Cloud because of its ease of use, and slick mobile app. Long upload times make it a less than perfect solution, but if you're away from home, and in a bind, the My Cloud might just save your bacon.

In the market for a portable, lightweight, collapsable iPhone or iPad tripod? Square Jellyfish has you covered! In this video, you'll see a quick demo of their best selling Spring Tripod Mount Combo Kit. Looks pretty sweet!

No stranger to iPhone videography, olloclip has been producing clip-on lens accessories for years! Their signature product is the 4-in-1 clip-on lens system for iPhone 5/5S and 4/4S. To use it, you simply slide the clip over the edge of your iPhone, positioning one of the olloclip's four lenses (Fisheye, Wide-Angle, 10x Macro, 15x Macro) over the iPhone's built-in lens. Easy peazy! This year, the company was giving sneak peeks of their soon-to-be-released clip-on lens system for the iPad! Same variety of lenses, new iPaddy goodness! Olloclip was also showing off their clip-on macro lenses. Most macro lenses can be tough to keep in focus, but the new olloclip 3-in-1 Macro lens system ($69.99) features a frosted plastic barrel that insures your camera will land at exactly the right distance for perfect focus. The frosted plastic also captures soft, diffuse light for lovely, evenly-lit shots. Olloclip has yet to release a product that I didn't want. And, lucky for me (and you), their lenses are super easy to track down! You'll find them in the Apple Store, Target, Samy's Camera, the Sprint store, Best Buy and even automated airports kiosks. Yes, really. Go get some!

Schneider Optics, makers of the iPro Lens, was back at Macworld / iWorld this year showing off some new lenses as well as a new lens attachment for the iPad! They've even branched out with a new lens mounting case for Samsung smartphones.

Does your video suffer from the shakes? Perhaps it needs a dose of Emulsio! Equally at home on iPhone or iPad, Emulsio (previously known as Movie Stiller) is an impressive app that will stabilize unsteady footage, remove unwanted rolling-shutter artifacts (a.k.a. "jello-cam"), and make you the envy of millions (that last part is not guaranteed). Simply import a shaky video from your iThing's camera roll, let the app analyze the clip's motion, move a slider to control how much stabilization is applied (higher settings result in greater cropping), and then export the results back to your camera roll or distribute it via the iOS share panel. One feature worth pointing out is Emulsio's ability to apply its stabilization magic to 120fps videos shot on an iPhone 5s. The whole process is remarkably simple. Bottom line: If you shoot video with your iPhone or iPad, and you don't have a Steadicam vest permanently attached to your chest, Emulsio should be a part of your arsenal. Period. Need a little more convincing? It just won *Best of Show* at this year's expo. Boom! [Taz drops the mic and walks off stage]

Whenever I'm directing or producing in the field, my iPad is always by my side. In addition organizing my shot lists, storyboards, blocking diagrams and budgets, my iPad also serves as a handy wireless video monitor! I'll use it to review dailies (footage taken at a previous time), view rough cuts sent over from my editor, and even use it as a live field monitor when shooting with the Teradek Cube, an amazing transmitter that can beams a video camera's signal straight to your iDevice. In short, the iPad is an ideal way to view video while on location. That is, until the sun comes out, at which point, it transforms from a gorgeous video display into a horribly reflective, mostly-useless makeup mirror. Thankfully, Macworld/iWorld has brought us another treasure in the form of the Hoodini -- a collapsable iPad shade from Hoodivision. The shade uses a magnetic band and nano-suction tape (anything with 'nano' in its name is sexier - scientific fact) to quickly connect (and stay connected) to your iPad, giving you a completely shaded view of your screen. When you're done, it just pops right off, and folds back up. Not only does it help avoid reflections, it also keeps your iPad cooler! The Hoodini is available in a variety of colors, with separate models designed for full size iPads and Minis. Good stuff!

Studio Neat, one of my favorite companies, was back at the expo this year showing off their newly revamped iPhone tripod mount, the GLIF ($30). Unlike previous versions that were designed to hold a specific iPhone model, the updated GLIF is adjustable, meaning it can hold just about any smartphone, with or without a cover. Most universal tripod mounts feature a spring-loaded clamp to hold your device in place. This means you can instantly swap out one smartphone for another -- a nice benefit most mobile filmmakers will never need. The downside of this approach is that the clamp may not hold your device as snugly as you'd like. The GLIF takes a very different approach. Using the included hex key (allan wrench), you can tighten the GLIF around an existing iDevice. This results in a mount that fits your gizmo like a glove. Then, when you get a new iPhone (or Android), you can pull out the hex key and adjust your GLIF to fit. In other words, the GLIF doesn't allow for quick swaps, but it will remain useful even as you upgrade to new devices with different form factors. Sweeeeet! The GLIF is small enough to slip in your pocket, and just like the previous incarnation, this new model doubles as a table-top stand. It looks like it could open a beer, but I have yet to be successful with that. I'll keep you posted. In case you were wondering, this bad boy started its life in 2010 with a Kickstarter campaign. Studio Neat was hoping to raise $10,000 to get the GLIF off the ground. Instead, they raised... wait for it... $137,417! That's a lot of GLIFs! At least 50, right? I failed math.

We've been at Macworld since Thursday, shooting product demos and gathering information about new apps & accessories for mobile media makers. This video is a quick introduction to HHH's coverage, and my general impressions of this year's expo.

The blessed life for which we were created is not found in the technology of the iWorld and the glow of its screens, but in the Presence of God and real human relationships.

We were created for real, physical, face to face relationships, but the iWorld encourages relationships mediated by various forms of technology.

We are called to community, serving one another and putting the needs of the community ahead of our own, but the iWorld encourages radical individualism.

John 13

Christians are called to a life of self-denial and bearing the cross in order to follow Jesus, but the iWorld encourages a life of indulgence and instant gratification.

We need consistent times to rest and remember redemption, but the iWorld is relentless in its opportunities and demands, giving no room for this.

We must be vigilant to keep themselves from Idols-anything we look to in place of God, assigning it godlike powers to give what should be sought in God alone. Idolatry is rampant in the iWorld, and is concentrated in and perpetuated by technology.

July 25th 2013 - Listen.... hear and wow! Fantastic to post a new show in the middle of summer! No summer break this season; here’s a very cool episode filled with the best electronica for your hot summer nights... The track Dreams by Astronaut Ape is coming from the brand new Microcosmos Records release called ‘Ten Minutes Eternity’. File this one under Cinematic Ambient or Soundtrack Electronica if you will.... We are in the World of Sleepers now... Carbon Based Lifeforms still amazes every time I listen to the album; pretty unique release with sweet melodic ambient tracks that one will never forget. And then... iWorld 2.0 by Astronaut Ape. Wow....! Speaking of perfect combinations sound wise: this track says it all, the beats, the synths, the claps, the echoes, the bassline; sweet and melodic so we can drift away further and further into deeper space now... On the train from Berlin to Rotterdam I was listening to older Ultimae releases when this one was on my headphones; James Murray’s album ‘When Edges Meet’ is one of those albums making you feel funny in the head... after listening to couple of tracks back to back, you’ll feel pretty disoriented in a positive sense: this is pure ambient adventure! Satisfaction guaranteed. May God have Mercy on his Sounds and Soul... the Labyrinth series by the late Pete Namlook ft. Lorenzo Montanà. Probably the best Namlook series in our collection... These two souls have worked out an intense chemistry between their musical styles.... Where beauty meets percussion is exactly where Namlook met Montanà. This release should be in every person’s collection! Nice and easy we flow into the final part of this journey... Meg Bowles album ‘The Shimmering Land’ is a beautiful place, where we can sit, walk and think about what we’ve seen so far, what plans we have for the future, it’s like walking on ‘The Isle of Dream’ and that is exactly the title of this track in the mix... Divine Emanation is the logical conclusion for Spacemusic 8.13.... hear and wow! Anima delivers a divine album called ‘Light of Aluna’. Words are not necessary, just listen to this final track (excerpt) and you’ll be ready for a great night of sleep or a big day to be alive and enjoy!

Getting OUt of iWorld - Giving Voice - Mark 7:31-37

So the Macworld Expo ends for another year. Guy couldn't find Julie Kuehl to podcast with so he did a short solo show in the press room. While we wish the fun times could go on forever, we're all too tired to go another day.

It's the end of day 2 at the Macworld Expo and Elisa, Guy, Julie, Vicki get together to talk about the events of the day. Owen Rubin also shows up so Guy doesn't feel so overwhelmed by all the ladies. Big thanks to Blue Microphone for lending Guy the Blue Mikey microphone so that we didn't have to swing one all over the place.

Elisa, Guy, Julie, and Vicky get together at the end of the day. Tired and sore, but sitting down to talk about their experiences at Macworld 2013. It's been an interesting show so far. Ashton Kutcher does an exclusive interview (no he doesn't) to talk about his feelings (as if) about life, acting, and his love for the MyMac website (PLEASE don't really believe this is true). Lots of vendor interviews from the floor but the real gem in this podcast is Ashton (someone please check Guy's medications).

(December 2012) As part of our Circle of Experts interview series, Dr. J hosts Dr. Dale Kuehne, author of Sex and the iWorld and professor at St. Anselm College, to discuss cultural views on sexuality and human fulfillment.

It isn't official till its Facebook official. What does this phrase tell us about relationships today? Do we still believe in the concept of 'forever' or have we replaced it with 'just now'? Simon Smart and Justine Toh discuss relationships and commitment in the modern Western world.

What is the iWorld? Dale Kuehne, the author of Sex and the iWorld, and Justine Toh explore the rise of individualism in Western Culture and the impact it is having on society.

Educators & App Enthusiasts Lisa Johnson & Yolanda Barker will be joined by Aggie and Director of IT Services for Bastrop ISD, Bryan Doyle (Follow him @BryanPDoyle).  He will be sharing how the district's technology curriculum and assessment has changed with mobile devices and a focus on project-based learning. Other highlights will include a focus on the students as teachers model, structuring a successful BYOT (Bring Your Own Technology), and resources for living in an iWorld. Check out his blog: http://bryanpdoyle.blogspot.com/  

W tym odcinku gości u nas MacKozer, którego chyba nie muszę nikomu przedstawiać, i opowie Wam szczegółowo o swojej wyprawie za ocean do Stanów Zjednoczonych na największą imprezę Makową na świecie -- Macworld | iWorld. Drugim przewodnim tematem jest oczywiście najnowszy dev preview OS X Mountain Lion, którego wielu z Was z pewnością już ma poinstalowane na zewnętrznych dyskach. Na koniec Krystian z Dominikiem rozwodzą się na temat HP TouchPada z webOS (...) Czytaj dalej →

Guy's audio on the floor was pretty bad (Tim has the GOOD Microphone), so Guy waited until he got home to try and clean it up. You can be the judge of how well he (or didn't) do. These are the last five developer interviews on the Macworld Expo floor from Guy and Tim.

John and Dave recorded this live on Friday, January 27, 2012 at Macworld | iWorld allowing audience members to come up with questions to try and stump the geeks! Peppered in between questions were Cool Stuff Found picks from the visits John and Dave each made to the show floor. […]

(December 19, 2011) Dr J hosts "From the Front Lines of the Culture War" on Catholic Radio of San Diego. Today she's interviewing Dr Dale Kuehne, a politics professor at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, author of "Sex and the iWorld", ordained Presbyterian minister, and vice-chair of the ethics committee. They're discussing alternatives to today's sexualized culture, Aristotle's views on sex, and much more. For her interview with Dr Steven Heaney, check out the previous podcast. Also, here's her interview with Dr Donald Hilton (referenced in the pornography discussion).
