Podcast: Play in new window | Download (12.4MB)
Found an interesting site today called TechBooksForFree.com -
It’s a resource apparently out of the UK with downloadable books and tutorials on all sorts of interesting topics. I dipped my toes into the books called DNS for Rocket Scientists. No joke, it leads to an interesting and solid site from a company called Zytrax.com. Introduction to Networking Technologies leads off to an IBM tutorial. Usual suspects of Linux, Microsoft, PHP/Python and Databases, plus a section called Science. and we move into nanotechnology, signal processing, chaos theory, immunology – the medical student stuff.
It all has a slightly “how can this be true” air to it, but then links off to totally respectable sites like O’Reilly Open Books – like Asterisk -the Future of Telephony – downloadable as a single large PDF.
Speaking of downloads, the new edition of Tech Podcasts This Week is out, with updates from a number of TPN shows. TTW is published Sunday nights, and is available directly from the site at Techpodcasts.com
The TPN Affiliate partner for today is the Are You A Geek podcast. Robert Nelson asks the question. and as I cruise down the list past articles like “How to Solder”, feeling right at home there it is: Win a IntelMac Mini : Robert is launching a new business and it looks like there is a one in one hundred chance to win Details on his site AreYouAGeek.com .

The book that I spoke about on 3/2 is called “Amusing Ourselves to Death” .
The preface to the book gives a good idea of the basic premise, and specific comments on television. (Remember, this was in the early 1980′s .. the hundred channel universe was not yet revealed )
A more lengthy summary is found at WikiPedia.
