High-TEXT Texan

Who's got fast fingers? Get up to the new AT&T Experience Store near The Woodlands on Friday and we'll see who can out-text whom.

I'll be at the store (303 Sawdust Rd, just west of I-45N) from 12p-2p hosting a texting contest and playing with some of the new gadgets (in preparation for the July 11 iPhone v2 launch). Lots of prizes including AT&T Wireless Rollover minutes for the winner.

Back in the studio LIVE this Saturday. We've got an interview with the CEO of Carbonite to learn more about this new onlnie backup service. Plus lots of other things to catch each other up on.

Light & Slight Blogging

Strong show on Saturday; thanks to everyone who called in. Guests included Dan Bryant of www.106mpg.com. Yes, he really did average that much from a gallon of gas and he averages about 80mpg. Check out some hypermiling tips on his website.

Carbonite.com is the online backup service I mentioned. Put in the offer code RADIO to get two free weeks and two free months after you sign up. I just initiated the service a few days ago and already feel a sense of relief.

A caller had an issue with defragging his computer. The Windows defrag still left about 11GB worth of data scattered on his drive and he couldn't get it any lower. A suggestion from another caller led us to discover JK Defrag, a free solution. I just received an email from the initial caller with the problem and it worked brilliantly.

Blogging here will be light over the next few weeks. I'll be in-and-out of town with projects and trips so stay coooool.
