Digital Meanderings
Meanderings of a coder

After a week long hiatus from the Internet, read: I went on a real vacation, I am now back. Today, for the first time, I checked my blog and its stats. What’s this? A ton of hits on June 15th? Where did they come from? Why Mobuzz TV.

While I’m happy for the traffic, I’m sorry to see Karina leave. It seems that a post I wrote awhile back on my favorite podcasts made it onto the episode’s web page.

Karina, you will be sorely missed. Your banter and wonderful personality is one of the reasons why I love Mobuzz. Good luck in all your future endeavors.

If you’re not familiar with the movie “Hackers” I suggest you do a little research before reading the article. May I even suggest buying the movie Hackers?

Anyway, this post is about Razor and Blade the “elite” hackers that Kate and Dade visit when they need help dealing with the feds. They are self-proclaimed media icons and run a pirate television show named “Hack the Planet.”

I understand that podcasting isn’t illegal so they do not share that in common but they do share more important commonalities. Both of them are below the radar of mainstream media and Both of them have huge followings.

And just like Razor and Blade when their broadcast was received all around the world, podcasting is breaking through. With the sale of one-hundred million iPods podcasts are more popular than ever. In the fray are not only iPods but many other multi-media devices such computers, PDAs, and other “MP3″ players. All of these add up to an ever growing market for podcasting.

Thanks Razor and Blade for being the fathers of podcasting! Sorry Adam, I know you’re the true father of podcasting but I think they beat you buy a few years …

Tonight is snowy in Sioux Falls and I’m a little bored. So I decided to write about some of my favorite podcasts.

• Geek Brief. A gadget oriented show by Cali Lewis and her husband Neil. Cali has a great personality and she’s great looking. Gadgets and a sweet, beautiful girl - what more could you want from a podcast? (Video).
• Mobuzz. A technology oriented show hosted by Karina Stenquist. She is another beautiful host, and she’s extremely intelligent. Her on-air banter is fantastic! (Video).
• This Week in Tech (TWIT). Another technology related show. The original cast is made up of the bastard children of TechTV, most notably Leo Laporte. Another regular on the show is John C. Dvorak. (Audio).
• FitPod. This an exercise related podcast that contains great music for getting you pumped up and keeping you going strong throughout your workout. Make sure you download “Fit&Run.” (Audio).
