My favorite podcasts

On an Android phone, I use Google Listen.
On a home computer, I use Juice podcast catcher.
On either, hit subscribe and add in the addresses below these titles.

I have listened to a ton of podcasts, and if you are interested in the general topic areas then you won't be disappointed.

Tasker for Android: Formatting the number for a text message

- I am in the US on Sprint.
- I wanted to create an task that sends a text message to my wife (also in the US).

In your task, enter the number like this (513 is the area code in this example):

+15135551212

If you format it incorrectly, you might message Peru like I did (20c per msg).

Note:
Tasker is an Android application that allows you to control your phone by automating tasks and specifying contexts in which those tasks are performed.
One that has saved me time is making a widget that sends my wife a canned text message to let her know when I am walking to the parking garage after work.
One press, and she knows when I am leaving work.
