Exams & Plugging like a bathtub.

I've been listening to MBW again folks, so naturally I have a little bit of a buzz around me coupled with an insane desire to do something mac'ish. Oh, and I'm also featuring layers of concentrated sweat formed from squatting in humid ratholes.

So a few quick plugs and some recommendations. Check out School House. If you're going to school, it stands a fair chance of revolutionizing the way you organize things, and should help you slide through the course. I setting it all up now, and the GUI is a work of art itself.

Also: Blogger have been real sports and realized that the MacTake isn't a load of spam, and therefore taken away the word verification shebang from my Blogger dashboard. Thank'ee kindly.

I'm still sending out Joost invites so if you have the itch, email me at skippy[at]mactake.streamk.com. I'll try and do it in morning and evening batches. Exams are literally next week so things might be a little quiet on the MacTake till about next friday. Apologize for that, but you can keep up to date with Mac tips, tricks, news and humid ratholes by following the maccast, macbreak weekly and the typical mac user podcast.

For your general tech podcast crack, listen to this week in tech, and net@nite!
For now, why not check out this video of Microsoft's oPhone, on dvorak.org/blog.

Hey! I don't need to write my own content, I can just plug everyone else's!
Just kidding... I only plug stuff if I really like it. Anything mediocre doesn't make it. Catch up to you all properly after the exams.
Till next time folks: Happy Mac'ing!

This Week's Podcast Pick

Its time for the weekly podcast pick, (again). Here are the podcasts that have made it to my infamous list in no particular order:

MacBreak Weekly
Still at the top; simply put, MacBreak Weekly is the land of audio milk and honey. (and lately; lots and lots of rat holes which we all love anyway) - miss this netcast not!
Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Scott Bourne and Alex Lindsay
http://www.twit.tv/mbw

This Week In Tech
Its still around, its still kicking, its still great and its still on the MacTake Podcast Pick list!
Hosts: Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, Kevin Rose, John C. Dvorak, Merlin Mann and other tech luminaries. Don't miss this netcast!

Typical Mac User Podcast
Victor Cajiao is really quite a pro at not only doing live talkshoe podcasts, but hosting an entertaining and well informed podcast. Check this out especially if you're a new user or switcher, but often it still will be just as informative for veteran users as it is for switchers!
Host: Victor Cajiao

MacCast
Suprised? You shouldn't be. The MacCast makes the list once again, for simply being ear-drum candy. Informative, funny, well produced and in wonderful enhanced feed format, this comma-delimited list just won't end. Don't miss out on this great podcast. Also check out the listener forums for great tips and tricks at http://forum.maccast.com/
Host: Adam Christianson
http://www.maccast.com/

The Merlin Show
I blogged about this show's launch and as I initially expected, it did not disappoint. In glorious Hi-def or iPod format and filled with some of Mannkind's greatest video moments (or interviews), it's audio, video and to a debatable degree telepathic, candy. Don't miss out!
Host: Merlin Mann

MacCast Loop
A great roundtable discussion and community live talkshoe podcast, featuring hosts from the MacCast and the TMUP, this show has proven to its captive audience, that its something never to be missed. Catch it every sunday!
Host: Adam Christianson & Victor Cajiao
http://www.maccast.com/loop

Net@Nite
Still around, and still excellent so far as I can tell. I haven't actually had a chance to catch up with their very latest episode ('Code Monke Like Fritoes'), not all of it anyway. But they've been on my list before, and they've updated this week (or late last) and so qualify well to sit here again! I love the style of interviews, the great mix that Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur are together and really just the atmosphere that this well informed show spills out. This is a netcast not to be missed!
Hosts: Amber MacArthur and Leo Laporte
