I finally had remembered to pick up a Universal Dock from the Apple Store. I had been meaning to get one for quite some time now, but I always forgot when the opportunity arose.

Dock 2

It’s a much nicer way to recharge and sync my iPod, and because it came with iPhone and iPod touch inserts as well, I won’t have to worry about compatibility for the future. The majority of my iPod usage comes down to podcasting, so I thought I might also run through a list of the best tech/geek podcasts according to me.

The Best Podcasts for Geeks

Diggnation

A hilarious video podcast consisting of commentary on the week’s top digg stories by Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht. Most of the time, Kevin and Alex are drunk. They usually only get through 3 or 4 stories though, with alot of hilarious stories in between.
Rating:4/5

Totally Rad Show

Another video podcast with Alex Albrecht, this time joined by Dan Trachtenburg and Jeff Canata. They do review of movies, comics, games, and talk about any news that they consider “rad.”
Rating:5/5

Buzz Out Loud

Tom Merritt and Molly Wood host this audio podcast of indeterminate length. This one comes out daily, so if you commute, you may want to listen to this one to hear the opinions of two very opinionated technology figures.
Rating:5/5

This Week in Tech

Leo Laporte, John C. Dvorak and gang talk about technology news, and each member of the panel has a different personality and different opinions to add to the conversation. Makes for a great podcast if you can only listen to one audio podcast.
Rating:5/5

GeekBrief.tv

A daily video podcast where Cali Lewis talks about tech news and new gadgets. Comes out daily, but rarely is longer than five minutes.
Rating:5/5

Thats all of what will be synced to my iPod daily, along with any new music I download. Enjoy!
