Dogear Nation » Podcast

The Michael’s squeeze out one more show before the end of the year. With each of them taking a bit of well deserved time off with family and friends, we miss our new co-host Andy Piper, but we soldier on anyway (btw, Andy provided us with a ton of great tags to choose from). In the spirit of helping with the economic woes, we look at a SecondLife live music aggregator with links to where you can buy the music from the in world musicians. We then look at Hype Cycles, a cool new Laptop from Lenovo (but is it cool enough), Panasonic’s iPod killer (not really), Cisco’s Telepresence tools, an iPhone VNC, games, and the top 10 cars we want (AND WE WANT THEM NOW!!!). We wish everyone a healthy, outstanding, prospers, and exciting new year, and Don’t forget to tag it with “Dogear-Nation.”
