Podcasting

Virtualisation is going to be big! Apart from the benefits for businesses in server consolidation, virtualisation also is promising for software developers in utilising virtual appliances: "preconfigured, pre-installed virtual machine that includes the operating system and the application, all encapsulated in a virtual machine so that people can take a virtual appliance and install it", with out installing the operating system, configuring the operating system and the application". Check out the podcast on IT Conversations.

Also, came across a nice feed aggregator from listening to the Mike Tech Show podcast (http://www.miketechshow.com/), called Omea Reader. Allows you to download podcasts directly from the reader. Check it out here: http://www.jetbrains.com/omea/reader/

Was listening to an old webdevradio podcast (which I've just discovered and really like) and Michael mentioned wink, a freeware tutorial and presentation creation software. This captures screenshots and mouse movements that can then be outputted to a variety of formats, including flash swf. This could be quite useful for anyone who does any kind of computer/website training. I know that I do and am definitely going to give it a try on my next training project.
