Strange Attitude Blog

I’ll tell you what there are a few podcasts out there on the interwebs that my ears need to survive.   Since I have neen on this healthy thin I have been running biking  quite a bit.  These two activities take up about12 – 15 hours a week of my time.  Notice I am up at 4 AM as to not effect my family life while doing this.

Through my experiments I have found a few good podcasts that fill my interests.  Some of the requirments are

1. It’s about techy geek type stuff.
2. The personalities CANNOT HAVE any sort of speech impetiment. (I have no time for that annoying shit.)
3. Production quality must be above average.
4. No Beavis and Butthead type banter with no content.
5. I will have the desire to buy something after every episode.  Car, computer, games, movies etc….

Here are a few that I try to listen to everyday.

1. Leo Laporte – The Tech Guy
2. Leo Laporte – The Giz Wiz wit Dick Debartollo
3. CNET – Buzz Out Loud
4. Cranky Geeks w/ John C Dvorak

Here are some of the weekly ones.  Not everyone does podcasts everyday like Leo.

1. Diggnation
2. CNET – Car Tech Podcast
3. HD Guys Podcast
4. Maximum PC – No BS Podcast
5. This Week In Tech (Leo Laporte)

The best thing about all of these is with exception of the Giz Wiz they are all about 45 min – 1 hour +.  The perfect length for a run or driving to Indiana.  You would thnk that I might listen to fitness podcasts or something about biking / running.  Honestly “those people” annoy the piss out of me.  I guess that’s how most of my friends feel about me.

Alas….

‘Cause I’m gonna do a the Johnny K Duathalon on Saturday.

Starting 4:30 AM I’m gonna hit the trails in Honenegah ForestPreserve for a nice cushy 10 km.

Then follow it up with a nice long bike ride (62 km) before the wind kicks in.

This is gonna be sweet. I better pack some Clifbars and fill the Camelbak.
