Trends and Issues in Extension

Just like having a deep (or high, or sprawling among several rooms) collection of books, I also seem to have a full collection of recorded shows on my DVR. Right now I’m working through It’s All Geek to Me from the Science Channel. These are 30 minute shows hosted by David Pogue, the NY Times Technical columnist. So far I’ve watched the shows about digital cameras, cell phones and iPods. There very good, especially if you have a limited introduction to these tools.

They’re good because Pogue is good. Pogue’s background includes the theatre and he uses an entertaining and humorous delivery method. Much of the shows takes place either on the streets of New York or in tech stores.

Here is a list of upcoming shows. See also Pogue’s show notes for the tips and ideas he shares. David also has a cool site. All are highly recommended.
