Your Tech Life is a website and webcast produced solely by Trevor Long (ABN 17452263844). The website is hosted on a server operated by candelaEnterprises Pty Ltd a company which I (Trevor Long) am a Director.
This podcast is 100% unique content produced at Your Tech Life Studios.
The weekly webcast would not be possible without the support of my sponsors. Harris Technology, Netgear, Gizmo and Norton by Symantec. These companies have partnered with me to continue and grow the webcast. As part of their partnerships, each receives visual and link representation here at www.yourtechlife.com, credits and live announcements during the webcast, and a monthly sponsor webcast. The sponsored webcast is created in consultation with these companies to target the information or product of their choice.
Editorial control over the content of the weekly Your Tech Life webcast remains solely with me (Trevor Long) and I can and will continue to discuss any company or product I choose. Of course, knowing these companies and products so well, and given the fact I use them or have recommended them for many years, I will continue to recommend them when possible to my audience.
To ensure full disclosure regarding the gear I use, any items that are provided to me for ongoing evaluation or as part of my review kit are listed here, as well as Items I own and use .
I use a Blackberry smartphone as my regular daily handset, for mobile calls and remote email/data access. The Blackberry handset is an Evaluation unit, property of Research in Motion. I operate on the Telstra Mobile Network, I have my own Telstra mobile account for which I pay all costs.
Production is done on an Apple iMac 27″ with Core i7 processor, using Adobe Audition for Mac (Public Beta)
I own an Asus EeePC 1000H, and I use the NextG wireless broadband network for remote internet access using a Sierra Wireless AirCard and Bigpond account provided by Telstra. I also have a Telstra SIM Card provided by Telstra for use in review mobile phones but no ongoing use
I own a Canon 450D DSLR which I use for all my high quality photography needs.
I also have a Sanyo FullHD Xacti HD1000 and Waterproof VPC-E2 for video recording both were provided by Sanyo.
I utilise several FLIP Mino HD Cameras for short and youtube video content, provided by Cisco/Flip
I own all my own PC’s, and run Windows 7 on one of them – That version of Windows 7 was provided as a media review
Thanks to SHARP I use a D77X LCD TV for reviewing movies, games and other video products, including an XBox 360 from Microsoft.
Crucial to my list of Tech gear is the Commodore 64 which was given to me by a very generous listener – Graham from Yagoona, who heard me one night mention that I’d love in the future for my son to learn about Computers and Programming the same way I did – on a C64!
I’ll add to this as I remember things, or new things become part of my daily grind!
If you are interested in the studio equipment I use, I use an Audio-Technica AT2020 Microphone with a XENYX 1204 Behringer Mixer. I use my iPad with ‘resounder’ for Idents and Intros, and Skype for inbound and outbound talkback calls.
