Off to visit my parents, so I'm trying to get a little bit of a backlog of posts. See, they live almost - but not quite - in the middle of nowhere, which means there's no cable and no DSL.
Last time I took off, I mentioned some podcasts that I listen to, so this time I'm going to go in a similar direction. If you're parked in front of a computer with access to streaming video between, oh, 11am and 4pm P(S|D)T, you can watch Leo Laporte record some of the many podcasts he produces each week, live. There's even a gCal schedule of "official" recordings.

On the Road Again

Psychology
MIT is a pretty big name school, but I'm sure you all know that. What's more interesting is their Open Courseware initiative, providing resources covering more than 1800 courses in MIT's curriculum.
In particular, I've come to enjoy listening to the lectures from a Fall 2004 section of Introduction to Psychology, taught by Dr. Jeremy Wolfe. It's quite an interesting course, though I'm more fond of the later lectures. The lectures are informative and at times entertaining.
If you have the time I recommend considering listening through the course, or one of their other offerings.

On the Road Again
So I'm traveling to my parents' house this afternoon for most of the weekend. It's my Dad's birthday Saturday - he's turning 53. But I have a ~3 hour drive ahead of me, so I thought I'd share how I'm going to spend my time: listening to podcasts (and music) from my iPod.
- Fear the Boot - A look into the world of RPGs, and a little bit more, from a group of guys centered around St. Louis, MO. Just last month they actually ran a fan convention I think I would've enjoyed being at if I would've known anyone.
- This American Life - Produced by Chicago Public Radio, this show provides a look at American life through a particular theme.
- Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! - NPR's news quiz/humor show. Always an irreverent look at the last week's news.
- TWiT and related shows - My weekly looks at technology, partly from people I grew to like on the now-defunct TechTV. Of the shows offered from that group of people are: This Week In Tech, Macbreak Weekly (more for the hilarity of the hosts than for the news), This Week In Media, Macbreak Tech, and The VFX Show
