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.
