Geek! What!

I have to be honest here. I am totally juicing over the arrival of the iPhone by Apple Inc. I cannot help it. Call me a fanboy if you like, but no one can deny the beauty in design and simplicity of the iPod that took the portable digital media device world by storm. Well, I believe that Apple could very well do the same thing within the cell phone world. The difference is that they will actually be taking the idea of the cell phone to a new level. We are talking about a phone that is running a full operating system creating the potential for a phone that is not only the first real phone and media entertainment device combined, but that could also essential double as your personal PC. How can that not be something exciting to consider!?

When young minds...

...are driven by a passion to make the world a better place they can accomplish great things. This is some impressive stuff right here! Check this out: http://www.intropsychservices.com/index.html

The new medium of choice.

I have recently become hooked on podcasts. I am now subscribing to about 14 podcasts so far and I am actually listening to them all! I can't stop myself! I imagine that it is only a matter of time before one could find a podcast on just about any topic that could pop into your mind. Here is a sample of what I am currently subscribed to: this WEEK in TECH (the goings on in the Tech world), Fresh Ubuntu (a guide for those taking the Linux plunge), Mosaic (a weekly sermon given by Erwin McManus), and Doctors Without Borders (A monthly podcast bringing you the latest in humanitarian news and emergency updates from MSF projects around the world).

The quality of podcasts can range from amateur to professional and can either be just audio or include video. The amazing content you can gain access to through this medium is often content that you could never find anywhere else. And what's more amazing is how the majority of this content is totally free. Of course, it does cost money one way or another to host this kind of content. Many of these hosts do ask for donations from their subscribers to help them bare the cost of continuing to provide the content. It is well worth it.

There are two very easy ways to find out about top rated podcasts or to acquire them. This is done through the http://diggnation.com website or through iTunes.

The only thing left I can say is that anyone not hip to podcasts is missing out.
