Dogear Nation » Podcast

Thanks to ePredator, Michael R. spends a significant amount of time talking about World of Warcraft, while Michael M. wants to play MMO’s by himself. Andy reiterates that Matt needs a Mac. We are all incredibly excited by LX5′s link on molecular printing — Here comes the Star Trek replicator — way cool! Andy reminds us, if you make a website, don’t loop your midi file… it’s really really annoying. We also have started a Dogear-Nation wave on google wave, so let us know if you have a Wave account and we’ll add you to this wave.

Thanks for all the great tags this week: epredator, mattsimpson, lx5, heidigoseek, rickmans, phil_hartman, and wideawakewesley.
