A recent thread started in the PodcastAlley.com forums that I would like to bring to your attention. For those of you who do not know, Derek of Skepticality (a great podcast) has been in the hospital with some serious issues. From what I gather, he seems to be doing a lot better physically but we could probably help out mentally and emotionally with some of our podcast support.

This doesnt belong here, but I thought it was quite funny. This is a spoof on the new iPod Nano ads circulating the world, and worth the 60 second download and the 30 second watch, in my opinion. iPod Nano Spoof (video/quicktime)
I own the original Mbox and love it. It has phantom power for 2 condensor mics, 2 aux (1/4″) inputs, stereo out, midi control, ProTools LE and more. However, they announced today the new Mbox 2 has been released. Boasting new features, and a new sexier layout, here is what they have to say about the new recording/podcaster tool: “The New Digidesign Mbox – Even Better Than Before! Digidesign’s Mbox 2 is the follow-up to the wildly successful Mbox, with some heavy-duty improvements! The original Mbox helped thousands of musicians get into Pro Tools LE thanks to its ease of

Finally, some has done it! I knew it was only a matter of time, and thanks to Jackstreet Media, it has come to be. Sex education comes to an iPod near you. 🙂 Education is, in my opinoin, going to be a huge market in the podcasting world and I am glad to see that someone is making a push to make podcasting a powerful educational tool.

Business Week recenly published the results of their “Best of the New Web” survey, including the editors picks.
