Andy, Michael, and Michael are back for 2009! In our first episode of the year, we look at some great videos (WoW and Mac vs. PC), make up trends from only two data points, Apple Rumors abound, Walmart is visualized, and our former guest Michael Ackerbauer helps us kill ideas.

We are looking forward to seeing more of your tags this year, so don’t forget to tag with “Dogear-Nation”. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter at:
