My Favorite Podcasts & Bloggs

Recently I found a new podcast (internet distributed audio similar to radio talks shows) which I though I would share with others. I added a list of bloggs and podcasts I have read or listened to, and liked to the left sidebar. Here are a few of the ones I follow:

MathGrad.com (podcast - Math concepts as they relate to every day life)
This Week in Tech (podcast - Latest in computers and technology)
Security Now (podcast - Computer & Network Security)
Sacramento Friends Church (blog - Quaker / Meeting of Friends)
Buffalo Chips News (blog - Running Club)

Update:
FLOSS Weekly - (podcast - Open Source software)

NOD32's Antivirus

I have recently dropped Symantec Norton antivirus on my home computers in favor of ESET's NOD32 Antivirus. I had heard and read some reviews stating that it was faster and lighter weight so it didn't have the effect of slowing your computers performance like Symantec's Norton antivirus does.

After running it for a while now I can say it definitely does not impact the computers performance like Norton AV did. I have always had little annoying problems with Norton AV and I haven't see any of those with NOD32. At this point I'd recommend NOD32 over Norton AV.

Flicker Photos

I have posted lots of new photos on my flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/hcriswell/ over the last several weeks. Though most are viewable only if you have been invited and login. Typically I have sent invitations to family and friends.
