Dogear Nation

Michael and Michael welcome back former co-host and current host of Sweettt, Matt Simpson. Our tags this week are a great group of eclectic links provided by you, the listeners. We begin with some cool random tech and a great video found on Maria Langer’s website, move over to some random data visualization, slide into the iWorld a bit, play with social networking, and finally end up with a great shout out to Boris in Wonderland who was recently featured on SLCN - Thanks Boris!

Michael and Michael welcome back Effie Seiberg to the show this week. Given that the election is finally over, we’ve decided to take a look at the use of technology from the campaigns, websites, and the news networks. Social networks, Holograms, Maps, Location Based Services, Mashups, and iPhone Apps are all on the agenda. We even show you how to make your own Hologram! We also thank Andy for doing a quick 12Seconds video of the arrival of his Dogear Nation Swag!

Michael and Michael have fun catching up after a week off for recharging. Unfortunately our special guest Phaedra Boinodiris got caught up in her day job and couldn’t join us, but her tag on Hacking the Olympics sparked a great discussion on information hacking. Speaking of hacking, we review how Mobility hacks up your personal life, no way to get away from work. Duckboxxer and Andy Piper provide some great tags on Twitter. We also talk about the perils of location based services. We bring back a brief discussion on the 3D Internet, looking at where has all the hype gone. And end the show in honor of all those parents and students dealing with back to school.
