After reliving some of our youthful video games with Andy’s 8-bit what’s cool, we dive into a bunch of fun thanks to your tags. While we didn’t have time to do them all, we had a blast with a bit of time travel, html5, and a bit of old spice.

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!

Thank you for all your tags this week. And if you can figure out the video game that Michael R talked about during the Tech-no-tronic section…comment on this week’s show.

We would tell you where Michael M was this week, but given the tags this week on the lack of privacy in social media, we are sure you can find out yourself! We wonder whatever happened to Sony’s Playstation Home. We take some time and review the privacy settings of Facebook and other social media networks. And finally: has augmented reality finally gone mainstream with the iPhone? All this, and more of your tags, this week on Dogear-Nation.
