A new Systm! The perfect holiday gift for the geek looking for some new content! On this episode of Systm, Kevin and an Asterisk developer talk about Asterisk, a new open-source VOIP solution for those of you doing voice over IP. What is Asterisk? Well, I’ll let the episode notes answer:

Asterisk is an insanely powerful, yet easy to use, open source voip telephony toolkit (server software) that runs on virtually any platform. It allows anyone to manage VoIP services in their own home in more powerful ways than the most expensive PBX (public branch exchange). For example, it can serve as a gateway from a VoIP service to your copper phone lines, forward calls to your mobile device from wherever you are, allow you to create VoIP connections to anyone on the Internet, manage voicemail, prompts … a virtually limitless capability depending on how far you want to take it.

Sound good? Awesome. Enjoy!

A couple of weeks ago, the Revision3 crew quietly released the first episode of a new podcast with one of our favorite TechTV personalities, Martin Sargent! I noticed there was a second episode, and I figured it’s about time to spread the word-let’s get the word out then! Infected, a podcast with Martin Sargent (along with Joey, commonly known as Joey the Intern, and The Gator) resurrects Unscrewed in fine fashion and promises to to take listeners on a guided tour of the most humorous, fascinating, cutting edge, and weirdest content on the web. (I got that from the announcement, I swear.)

Read the announcement here:

The first episode is a laugh riot, talking about everything from Chinese astronauts, and how to make sure you don’t get carjacked. Also, the crew take us on a hilarious history of blogging, all the way back to early America!
