Michael, Andy and Michael are excited to welcome special guest Veronica Belmont to this weeks episode. After a rough and rocky restart (check out the end of the show – I guess that’s why it’s Friday the 13th), we dive right into our listener tags, including 3-D patient records, crazy British dress up day, and ways of getting out of all those social networks you’ve been joining for years. We also spend some time reviewing the new Facebook Privacy application, is it ready for prime time?

What’s cool?
Michael M — Peepfest!
Andy — Blue fusion – Week
Veronica — The vintage web
Michael R — Converting to run Safari 4 as primary browser

Opensim turns two and our listeners give advice on getting your C.V. updated (resume for our US listeners). Andy also points out that all of your online content is your C.V. It’s amazing that the guys don’t catch the nuance that the visual C.V. ties directly to leakage of your privacy. The good news is – people lie about their online persona, however, Google can see thru it. Michael M. ends up dropping early, while Andy obsesses about finding his Patent number. But it all works out in the end with Final Thoughts.

Michael and Michael welcome Andy back to the show, after a long absence, and talk about the latest news from Apple. But before we get into that – we take a quick peak at how the Web is feeling. We also enjoy some great parody ads in the South Park vein. We then look at a great graphics-based search engine. Microsoft announces its potential new Cloud OS, while busily patenting Page Up and Page Down (no really – they did!). And conclude with a brief shout out the the “Un Conference” on Virtual Worlds in London. We then include our latest episode of the interviews from Virtual Worlds ‘08 in LA, with Wallace Jackson from MindTaffy Designs.
