Howstuffworks
The above link brings you to the homepage for all HowStuffWorks podcasts. I listen to Stuff You Should Know most loyally, but Tech Stuff is great for updates and discussions about new technology. Stuff You Should Know provides an entertaining look at just about anything you can think of. The hosts, Josh and Chuck, are very humorous and do a great job talking about things they think we should know.
BlizzCast
This podcast revolves around games developed by Blizzard Entertainment such as StarCraft II. The podcast looks into new developments and updates and provides in-depth discussion on each Blizzard game.
Just Vocabulary
^^ Pretty self-explanatory. This podcast is short and concise. It presents a couple "cool" English words, defines them, and uses them in a sentence. It is a fairly ineffective way to learn words, but the podcast is valuable nonetheless.
This American Life
I do not listen to this podcast, but I've hear excellent reviews. Josh and Chuck joke about the podcast and its host, Ira Glass (sp?), because Stuff You Should Know is always just behind This American Life in ratings.

Team Liquid - StarCraft 2
Our first major assignment of the semester is to observe, explore, and investigate a social network.
I am an avid StarCraft 2 player. StarCraft 2 is a game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, the company that also maintains World of WarCraft. It is a real-time strategy game in which the player builds a base and military force with the objective of destroying the opponent. SC2 is widely accepted as the best real-time strategy game to date. The players are competitive, and although most of us play for fun, the game sometimes evolves into something more serious; it becomes more like an NFL playoff game than a video game.
For the project, I have signed up to be a member of Team Liquid, which is a well-known group of professional gamers. Team Liquid's network offers a wide array of forums, links, and video feeds used to discuss/observe strategies and learn from other members.

WRH205
WRH205 is a class I take at West Chester University that is devoted to the exploration of cyberspace. This blog will be used to conduct said exploration. Over the course of the 2011 Spring Semester I will be posting links, compositions, etc. related to social networking, online resources, and other topics akin to the internet.
