Please, No More! Ok, One More.

Ok, Just when I say – no more RSS subscriptions! I mean, I gotta sleep sometime, right? And maybe actually implement some of the ideas I read about? Yea, you guessed it, along comes a blog I just can’t live without.

This one is More Caffeine Please. Now normally I’m not allowed caffiene since I tend to be a bit, um, high energy shall we say? But this caffiene is good caffiene thanks to Chris Digneo. Check it out at http://morecaffeineplease.com/.

But here’s the real dilemna – I’m an information junkie. And in the internet business world that’s a good thing since this stuff changes at lightening speed! So how to keep up?

Well, if your brain is like mine and just never stops. I find Podcasts to be the perfect answer because I can get great info at times when my brain would normally be stagnating. You know the times – driving, cleaning the bathroom, making dinner, pulling weeds and the list goes on. I mean, if I don’t sometimes clean the house then some government agency or another will come haul the kids away. (hmmm, wait a minute, I might be on to something here. – Just kidding!) But seriously, none of those chores are rocket science so what’s my brain to do? The answer?

Podcasts!

There’s some really great stuff out there and I love ‘em! My favorites are:

Internet Marketing This Week – Ed Dale and Paul Colligan are two of the panelists and they always deliver quality.

Gary Vaynerchuk’s Personal Journals – always entertaining and informative – what more could you want?

Media Hacks – Pearls of wisdom from Chris Brogan, Mitch Joel, and C.C. Chapman among others. Wow – great stuff here!

Just go to iTunes and search the Podcasts and you’ll find these and a lot more. Also check out iTunes U. I took a really fun course on Philosophy and there’s another one I’m going to do on Entrepreneurship from Stanford University. All free! I love free, it’s my favorite price.

And it’s not all business either, there’s all kinds of good stuff there. When I need a brain break I really enjoy the old time radio shows you can find on iTunes. Great fun!

So if you’re like I used to be and just go to iTunes when you are looking for somethign specific, then take about 30 minutes and just go shop it. I have no doubt you’ll come away with some great audio downloads. Who knows? You might actually start looking forward to housework!

And one last little tidbit – I’ve gotten so hooked on audio that I’m starting a podcast of my own in about a month. Right now I’m taking a course on all the tech stuff so soon I’ll be able to help clients with production too!

Stay tuned!
