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.

This week Andy and Michael R. welcome “TheRab!” AKA Ryan Boyles, IBM Project Zero’s community manager, to talk about the Enterprise 2.0 conference, his love of comics, and social networks. We keep getting many more tags then we can talk about, and we are glad to extend our “Cool Stuff We Had no Time For” section this week… you are all amazing! Michael M was doing what he does best (a speaking engagement, getting people excited about gaming and business), but he will be back next week.

We welcome back Michael Ackerbauer from IBM’s Metaverse team, as we review your tags this week. It’s been a pretty busy and crazy set of tags, but with the release of iNotes from IBM recently there are more iPhone users getting access to their corporate data. We also look at some really cool historical computing trends and see if we can guess the device. Our Obligatory 3D internet section gives many people a first look at Emotiv’s headset, as seen on the Discover Channel’s “Prototype This” show, while the coffee lover’s out there will get a cool printer. Don’t miss the interview with Ben and Nathan from MyCosm at the end of the show.
