OK, we need a little break from the serious (OK, I need a break). So, I thought we’d get to know each other with a simple, non-threatening, soul revealing, ice breaker.

So, here’s the question again, what do you listen to? Myself, I gave up listening to the radio a couple of years ago when it was stolen out of my truck. I’ve had the worst luck with junky stereos- that’s another story.

Here’s what I’ve got on my iPod,

No Music:

  • I consider it Brain Candy and I’d rather be learning something.

Audio Books:

Podcasts (“Radio” or “TV” shows distributed over the Internet):

  • BoagWorld.com: web design podcast: British, funny, informative, in that order! This is the show that got me hooked on Internet based AV content. I consider Paul to be a distant British mentor that doesn’t know me.
  • Buzz Out Loud: Tech News with common sense.
  • Geeks and God Podcast: “A podcast that educates and encourages technology in christian ministries.”
  • John Eldredge and Ransomed Heart (Audio and Video): The Wild at Heart guys, and Epic and Waking the Dead, and The Way of the Wild Heart, and Walking with God…
  • Lifechurch.tv Message Series (Audio and Video): God changed my life through this ministry I give back through them.
  • MacBreak Weekly: Mac News, Tips, and Software picks. (Its a little “This Week in Baseball” but the gems you collect are worth the slow bits.
  • Meet the GIMP: Graphics Image Manipulation Program Tips and tutorials. For those of us who can’t afford Photoshop, the GiMP is an able and FREE alternative.
  • Mosaic: Messages from Erwin McManus’ ministry in LA. Very down to earth, very refreshing.
  • (Guilty Pleasure) The Rissington Podcast: An audio show about Web Design and Cheese. British, very funny, and swears a lot!! The only podcast I have that has an “Explicit” tag.
  • System: Patrick Norton shows you how to build all kinds of Geek stuff. Remote Control Robots, firewalls on an old linux PC, Bio-fuels, etc.
  • Tekzilla: Patrick Norton and Veronica Belmont give product reviews, help &, tech tips on everything from iPods to camcorders, HD to the Internet, plus do it yourself projects.
  • TWIP – This Week in Photography: Camera technique, technology, and news
  • This WEEK in TECH (audio): Discussion of the latest trends in high tech.
