Resistance is futile – change is constant

Its important to keep current in my field but finding the time to read all of the professional journals is tough. I’m also responsible to pass along tools that will help my students keep informed after they graduate. Fortunately there are a number of pods and vods out there dedicated to bringing us the highlights of technology news so you can catch up while surfing the net!  

dl.tv is one of the news services I tune into occasionally. Its a vod (video podcast) so I find it more captivating and its full of geek humor. There is a new release every week. Yes, some of us actually do get geek humor. The programs vary from 30 to 40 minutes depending on the topics covered. Its fun to listen to the excitement in the hosts voices as the carry on. And dl.tv has credibility being published by Ziff-Davis; the publisher of PC Magazine.

I just viewed the July 10th, 2008 release. It includes the quirky news highlights, a product review of a solar-powered backpack, a demonstration of several “really sweet” interactive websites including Autopsy, Kaleidoscope, Crime Reports, and more . There is also a discussion on troubleshooting video delay problems.

I like this vod so much I added I link to it on my blog.
