Resources: Technology Podcasts and Videos

I am always on the lookout for good podcasts to listen to. Here is an opportunity to listen to thought leaders in the tech industry.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Interviews with Innovators by Jon Udel from ITConversations Network. ITConversations also hosts some interesting podcasts on Social Innovation and other interesting topics.

Talking with Talis is one of my more recent discoveries. In their own words, it is:

conversations with thought-leaders at the interface between Web 2.0, Libraries, and the Semantic Web…

Inside Silicon Valley from PodTech News is another one of my favorites. I became aware of PodTech when Robert Scoble moved there from Microsoft.

ScobleShow is another one of my favorite ones. Since Scoble is no longer at PodTech, I wonder whether this series will continue.

Channel 10 is a great source that covers products and innovations at Microsoft.  I have watched some really grate videos and podcasts there.

Google Engineering Edu and other Google tech talk videos is one of the best sources of technology information. Google often invites thought leaders, developers, language designers to their campus. They make these videos available free.

A talk a day is my motto. A technology or Science podcast or an audiobook is a great companion when I take my walks or sweat it out on my treadmill.

It is a River…

“It is a river, not a reservoir” from A guide to the overwhelmed: Part-II.  Rob articulates what most of us feel, so well.

One of the greatest and most depressing moments of enlightenment that ever dropped itself on me was the realization that I was not going to learn everything I wanted to learn in my lifetime. I was not going to do all the things I wanted to do.

I stopped worrying about it now.  I read a bit, blog a bit, talk about it a lot and think about it.  I feel happy when I get a few ideas and dream about a day where I can implement them.
