Dealing with Information Overload

I'm not sure which is worse, too little or too much information.  If you're an ASP.NET developer looking towards ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 then you've found yourself firmly planted in the "too much information" side of the fence.

Unless you're locked away in a cube, cutoff from the internet and all other outside sources, it's impossible not to see "too much information" growing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis.  We've got the blogsphere that not only grants publication rights to thousands of people discussing ASP.NET 2.0/SQL Server 2005 (not to mention those sick individuals that are discussing longhorn and WPF and linq and other tech) it gives us podcasts, screencasts and webcasts.  Microsoft has done an amazing job with articles and webcasts on MSDN.  Not to mention usergroup meetings, local events, online communities, newsgroups, magazines and books (and I'm probably missing a few).

So in an effort to chip away at one specific resource type on one specific, albeit huge, subject I am dedicating the month of May to ASP.NET 2.0 webcasts.  My goal is to churn through one a day, every day, and give a quick synopsis of the webcast (good/bad, current/out of date, target audience, did it live up to it, what's actually covered, what you shouldn't miss, etc). 

By my count, and without extensive searching, I've been able to turn up over 100 webcasts for ASP.NET 2.0 alone.  I'll be choosing the webcasts based primarily on presenter, then description.  I know that's less than complete, and there are some duplicating webcasts, but it's a start.  If this turns out to be useful to anyone then maybe June will be SQL Server 2005 webcasts.
