My favourite podcast author, Scott Sigler, just released his third podcast novel called Infection Infected. His previous novels, Earthcore and Ancestor, had me on the edge of my (car) seat so I have high hopes for this story too. I am now on a mission to get as many people as possible to experience Scott's work as possible - so if you are reading my blog, I insist you go to http://www.scottsigler.com/ now and start listening!
---update---
Scott's novel "Infection" was renamed "Infected" shortly after it was first podcast.

Hot on the heals on Earthcore, Scott Sigler is Podcasting his next book, Ancestor. I've been batching up a few episodes at a time and listening to them in the car on the way to work. Earthcore was really good, but this story is even more exciting. Great job Scott, can't wait to see the movie :-)

from IT Conversations:
Asterisk is the open source Voice-over-IP solution that everyone's talking about. At OSCON 2005 Scott Mace talked to Brian Capouch, the author of the forthcoming Addison-Wesley book about Asterisk. Capouch discusses why Asterisk is spreading like wildfire, has hooks for video and presence extensions and why Skype is "evil incarnate." VoIP is a disruptive technology and can be integrated with other systems such a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to make them more efficient.

My Dad just came back from a holiday in Canada visiting family and brought my Son, Reiss, back a robot. Not just any robot but a shiny silver Robosapien. These "toy" robots were all over the news before Christmas last year with predictions of it being that Christmas' the best selling toy. Having lived with it for two days I can see why.
