Matt, fresh back from holiday, does the honors and counts down to start the show with Michael M. Mixing such weighty subjects as the singularity, the concept of reputation capital and the morality of software with the lowbrow humor of pirates (arrgh!) and how to become part of the New Media elite, the co-hosts bring you a wide range of topics in just 29 minutes.

Michael Martine and Michael Rowe welcome Dave Kamalsky IBM’s Virtual Universe Community’s former Guild Master this week. Michael and Dave were together in beautiful Dublin, Ireland, while Michael Martine joins from North Carolina. In honor of the misty weather in Dublin, and thanks to Mikael Haglund’s wonder tags, we review multi-media and internet umbrellas. The guys also ask the question about personal space and privacy, and how Chinese MMO laws are going to expose who’s behind the keyboard - or at least their sex. Remember in Virtual Worlds - anyone can be a Dog.
