The 2008 podcast awards were announced, and several of my favorite shows were showcased on the list. My favorite one, Manager Tools, won both the individual category and the overall awards. Congratulations to Mark, Mike, and the folks at Manager Tools. Just as importantly, the Todd and the folks at Podcast Connect rock for bringing and building awareness for a number of worth-a-while podcasts out there.

While going through the materials in Laura Chappell’s Lab Kit v9, I stumbled across the Internet Safety for Kids project, sponsored by The Protocol Analysis Institute (PAI), a privately-owned company founded by Laura Chappell. Although the materials were last updated in early 2006, I have found them to be still very much relevant and educational. As a parent of two young teenagers, I appreciate Laura for taking the time and effort to pull the valuable materials together.

Don Tennant, the Editor in Chief for Computerworld, is a favorite technology journalist of mine. Don frequently writes about topics in technology profession, IT careers, and IT management ethics and trends. You may not always agree with him, but I have found most of his articles to be interesting and enlightening, especially on the topic of globalization.
You can find Don’s blog over here.

While investigating the mechanical details behind the WordPress theme, I came across XAMPP, a simple and straight-forward way of getting a WAMP stack working on your PC. Although an .EXE installer is available, I prefer the .ZIP package. Just unzip the content, run a setup batch file, and off you go. It could not be easier. Now there is no excuse not to get your own WAMP stack running and start the learning!
Many thanks to the Apache Friends Project

As an IT person, this book is a must-read and I refreshed my memory over the holiday weekend on what it means to be “The New Middlers” and what it takes to be one of the untouchables.
