I spend time every day gleaning info about new technologies and tools that might be useful for our work and our users.  I'm going to start highlighting these on this blog.  Please feel free to contact me for additional info.  I will attempt to screen out scams, but, please don't take my referral as a recommendation.  I'm just sharing!

Today, I learned about bluraymods.com, who are offering a modification kit to turn a Panasonic multi-region DVD player into a multi-region Blu-ray and standard DVD player.  This is the first multi-region Blu-ray player available, as far as I know.  (source:  GeekBriefTV)

MacCloud is a print-on-demand service for DIY journal publishers.  It's currently in private beta, but, if it survives to general release, it could be useful for small-scale scholarly communication.  Not sure if such tools exist already for that purpose.  (source:  GeekBriefTV)
