This Tech Rag Tear Outs analysis segment from TechNewsRadio.com is sponsored by  O’Reilly and Associates Safari Bookshelf online technical library. 

In summary this podcast is focused on: some upcoming conferences, a new KVM that supports dual-head video, wireless routers, some open source and freeware news & tools, and some integration info about Apple and Oracle.

The technical links mentioned in this podcast include:

• Project Management Fundamentals will be in Anaheim, California from June 21-23, 2006.
• VoiceCON Fall 2006 — The Forum for Business IP Telephone  will be in San Franciso, CA from August 21-24
• Hall Research Model MC4-H2 "Dual-Head" KVM Switch
• Junxion now has official support for Cingular Wireless and Sprint using these technologies: EVDO, EDGE, WIFI, HSDPA, GPRS
• Trilogy Equity Partners
• OpenDocument Format ISO 26300 available via OpenOffice.org and NeoOffice
• Network Notepad v4.4.9  vs. Visio or NetViz or SmartDraw
• Apple FED-TALK mailing list
• Apple and Rotech utilize: Oracle Database 10g RAC, OS X Server, and Xserve RAID

Also I highly recommend the following beers:

• Rogue Kell Irish Style Lager
• Ridgeway Brewing Very Bad Elf Special Reserve Ale
• Weisse Hacker-Pschorr Traditioinal Wheat Ale

Lastly, I also have to recommend Theodore Roosevelt Island which is part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway that is operated by the Virgina Turkey Run Park for a run or walk if you are in the Washington DC area.  It was fun and relaxing.

It should also be noted that at the end of the podcast is a fun song from The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd called "One Meatball!" By Dr. Steve & Fidgert.
