Michael, Michael, and Andy get some time to talk to Keith Klemba and Wesley Mukai from SAP. Keith and Wes have been working on integrating Avatars into SAP’s technology. They have just unveiled the concept at this year’s Sapphire conference. Imagine the 3-D internet coming to a purchase order near you. We also have a great set of listener tags, and during the show we realize that it is the 30th anniversary of two things which have shaped our lives – PacMan and The Empire Strikes Back! So sit back, plug in, and enjoy our show!

While Andy jet sets back home from a week long conference, the Michaels take the opportunity to record a show at our favorite coffee shop Bean Traders. With a bit of cool jazz in the background, we talk about a great set of tech-no-tronic tags and ponder how much longer Facebook can survive with all the privacy issues which keep surfacing.

Andy, Michael and Michael are together again this week and decide that the obligatory 3-D Internet section didn’t have any content this week, so we let it slide. Is it still obligatory? Come post comments on the blog and let us know…Eroding your electronic brand… Printing a new kidney… More augmented reality… and a ton of news links from Andy… All this and more on this week’s Dogear-Nation!

Thanks to ePredator, Michael R. spends a significant amount of time talking about World of Warcraft, while Michael M. wants to play MMO’s by himself. Andy reiterates that Matt needs a Mac. We are all incredibly excited by LX5′s link on molecular printing — Here comes the Star Trek replicator — way cool! Andy reminds us, if you make a website, don’t loop your midi file… it’s really really annoying. We also have started a Dogear-Nation wave on google wave, so let us know if you have a Wave account and we’ll add you to this wave.

Thanks for all the great tags this week: epredator, mattsimpson, lx5, heidigoseek, rickmans, phil_hartman, and wideawakewesley.
