Dogear Nation » Podcast

Andy, Michael, and Michael are back for 2009! In our first episode of the year, we look at some great videos (WoW and Mac vs. PC), make up trends from only two data points, Apple Rumors abound, Walmart is visualized, and our former guest Michael Ackerbauer helps us kill ideas.

We are looking forward to seeing more of your tags this year, so don’t forget to tag with “Dogear-Nation”. And don’t forget to follow us on Twitter at:

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.”
