Podcasting at Universities



The Stingy Scholar: University Podcasts, Webcasts & OCWs

My favorite podcast by far was Richard Muller's "Physics for Future Presidents" from Berkley webcast/courses.  In the course I learned so much about the general concepts of Physics, including my favorite lectures on how nuclear reactions work and radiation poisoning.

Here is a link to Richard A. Muller's website.

Motorola Q Registry Hacks

I don't like to normally modify my registry for minor tweaks.  Especially on the Motorola Q because I have to reset it back to factory defaults every 3-4 months, but the Bluetooth file transfer settings don't work for me unless I modify where the files are being stored.  That way I can use the 2 gig card and not run out of room caching everything under "My Documents" and then moving it.

Instead of:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Widcomm\BtConfig\Services003]
"Root"="\\My Documents"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Widcomm\BtConfig\Services003]

"Root"="\\Storage Card"

I can now say that the Motorola Q works very well but only because of the modifications I use.  Make sure to install TCMP to add a media player that will remember where you left off.  I have only been able to listen to podcasts on this device because of that feature.
