Dogear Nation

Well, this week is Thanksgiving here in the US, and Michael, Michael, and Matt are taking the week off from our recordings to relax with friends and family. We will be back on the air next week with our post Thanksgiving Turkey hangovers! Have a great holiday, and keep tagging on Dogear (for those inside of IBM), Digg, and del.icio.us with the tagg “Dogear-Nation”!
