Dogear Nation » Podcast

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.
