Today I talk about a use for Google Reader that wasn’t available a week ago.

I talk about Google Listen for Android. I’m about to retire my iPod for Podcast Listening. My Droid does it all!

I played a song called “google” from Tom Smith over at Musicalley.com

Starting March 1st there will be a new podcast from GOTN called “Today in Aviation History” . See the post below this for information on how to get that.

The second show here on Geek of the North will begin as a daily (7 days a week) podcast talking about all the things that happened on this day in history of aviation. As you know, I am an aviation geek and I’m also a History geek. So why not combine my passions and create a short (5 min. or so) daily podcast? Well, I’m going to do it.

I will have more information here on Geek of the North in a week or so.

Today I talk more about Google stuff along with a couple of listener voice mails.

Google Chrome for Mac WITH EXTENTIONS – I’m using chrome almost exclusively now that I can have it on my Macbook with Adblock and Bookmark Sync. It’s good.

I also talk about the Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network (www.vatsim.net) – VATSIM is a worldwide network of Aviation enthusiasts that have live Air Traffic Control for your flight simulator software. Read more about them at their website – www.vatsim.net and on their Wikipedia page.

Thanks for Listening!
