This Week in Tech - America's most listened to podcast and winner of the 2005 People's Choice Podcast Award.

Pandora - Find New Music, Listen to Custom Internet Radio Stations. Ever since we started the Music Genome Project our friends would ask: Can you help me discover more music that I'll like? Those questions often evolved into great conversations. Each friend told us their favorite artists and songs, explored the music we suggested, gave us feedback, and we in turn made new suggestions. Everybody started joking that we were now their personal DJs. We created Pandora so that we can have that same kind of conversation with you.

Slashdot - bills itself as News for Nerds, Stuff That Matters. That's a fair enough appraisal.

The Inquirer - The National Enquirer of the tech world. Tech news, reviews, and rumors. Sometimes painfully sarcastic, it's always an enjoyable read.

Boing Boing - a directory of wonderful things.

[H]ard]OSP - technology news blog. Very in depth reviews. Certainly not tied to any manufacturers apron strings!

AnandTech - comprehensive hardware reviews. Very in depth and honest. Extremely accurate with a great staff. Required reading!

Joel on Software - News from the software industry. Learn things you just can't find anywhere else.

Engadget - News and reviews on every conceivable gadget known to man. Some that you never knew existed. Good writing and very informative.

Mike's Hardware - Mike evidently has a crystal ball of some sort next to his computer. A simple, uncluttered site, Mike's Hardware's look belies the sheer quantity of information that Mike's Hardware has to offer. It's quite simply the best source for CPU names, numbers, and specs on the Internet, and also includes sample systems, tech roadmaps, CPU pricing, and lots more.

RIAA Radar - The RIAA Radar is a tool that music consumers can use to easily and instantly distinguish whether an album was released by a member of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). If you, like I, am disturbed and outraged by the Gestapo tactics being used by the RIAA, this tool can keep you from purchasing music released through the RIAA. I have made it my current practice not to support the RIAA in any way.

The Marion Star - Online newspaper of Marion, Ohio

Flash Earth - Flash satellite and aerial maps of the earth. Choose between a variety of maps, including Google, Yahoo, MSN and others.

Kayak.com - One stop search engine for cheapest flights. Searches all airlines for the best pricing for any particular flight. Highly customizable with free membership. A great tool.

PC World - PC Magazine competitor, I get both print versions but I'm about to let PC Magazine go. PC World fits my needs better. More open source articles, less Microsoft ass kissing.

Wikipedia - THE online encyclopedia. Everything you wanted to know about anything. A lot of it actually TRUE. Well, that's a bit unfair but be a bit careful what you decide to believe!

Smack the Penguin - the ultimate stress reliever. Click on snowman to start penguin sliding, click again to swing bat. Smack the Penguin

Podcast Themes - There are thousands of podcasts floating around on the internet, and most of them are not that good. Many people will decide whether or not they want to keep listening to a show within less than a minute. The easiest way to draw people in from the beginning is with a custom theme. A theme song will make your podcast sound professional right from the start, and that will keep more people listening.
