Podcast: Kayak Journal Podcast

In my attempts to find out all there is to find out about Kayaking and Technology I came across this podcast: The Kayak Journal Podcast. This started as an audio podcast but has since grown into a video podcast. The episodes are short, up to about 5 minutes. great little snack sizes when you only have a couple of minutes to watch anything. The podcast has been around since August of 2005 but there are not many episodes.

If you are interested in kayaking of any type then you should check out this podcast. The information from the early audio podcasts is very informative. I need to finish watching the rest of the video podcasts to make my determination of their importance. Bt from what I have seen so far they are quite entertaining.

Website: Killer Startups

FuelMyBlog has just been listed on Killer Startups. The site highlights new and exciting companies that have started on the Internet. It is a whole Web 2.0 thing. And you can vote on what companies have the killer apps.

Fuel My Blog is something I am partial to because I am a moderator on the forums but it has meant more to me than that. I signed up soon after they started and I have been forming a friendship with Kevin Dixie, the founder and his wife Sylvie. They are good people and they started FuelMyBlog as a way to discover new and exciting blogs to read. They simple act blossomed into FuelMyBlog. If you are not listed there then what are you waiting for.

I know this post is supposed to be about Killer Startups and it will be after I say a couple more things about FuelMyBlog. There are two competitions going on right now. One is a photography contest and the other is a widget design contest. Anyone listed on FuelMyBlog can enter and the prizes are really great.

Okay back to KillerStartups.com. Here is what Killer Startups says about themselves.
