Tech Volta

I have been very busy the last week or so. It doesn’t seem stop. It flew bye so quick I barely have time to think. So I will do some thinking now……..

The only thing that I have had a chance to do lately is listen to some podcasts, or should I say netcasts, the more PC term.

Podcasting, a portmanteau of Apple’s “iPod” and “broadcasting”, is a method of publishing files to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a feed and receive new files automatically by subscription, usually at no cost. It first became popular in late 2004, used largely for audio files.

I have really been digging TWiT (This Week in Technology) it is a lot of fun listening to, these guys/gals talk about technology brilliantly. Also I really love Diggnation with Kevin Rose and Alex..? I used to watch diggnation last year, but recently have started watching it again. I believe both of these shows really work because they are what they are. They are regular geeks that are talking about their passions. Whatever you do in life, make sure it is your passion, or else you won’t enjoy it and will be miserable and cranky. boo.

Since I am talking about Podcasts and Netcasts it only feels right to talk about Comcast. It has been one year since I’ve moved and I was really excited because we had G4 on basic cable. I was excited, I like Attack of the Show, X-Play (w/ Morgan Webb ) etc etc. I think it has been about six months since they took it away and made it apart of the “digital” package. So I would have to shell out even more money to the cable company and it’s not worth it. Comcast drove me to watch more and more podcasts/netcasts and I really enjoy it more, because I can fit it to my schedule. I’m looking for a joost invite because that is looking really promising. Joost has the National Geographic Channel. :-p

The Internet will change the way we watch TV and hopefully bring better programming; I’ve been dying to see that reality TV show about pirates, yarrr.
