Dogear Nation » Podcast

This week, we continue to be at full strength, wondering how long that will last? We have a light selection of listener tags this week, but the ones we get are loads of fun, leaving us to wonder if we will all be playing games driven by social engineering. So listen in to this week’s show, and don’t forget to keep on tagging with “dogear-nation”.

The Michaels welcome back John Martin from Reallusion to talk about all the cool new stuff they are doing with iClone and Widgetcast. Because of this we end up having our longest what’s cool section. While we are all caught up in WorldCup fever we begin our trash talking required for the games this weekend. Andy takes a bit of time off, in order to play with his new iPhone 4.0, but he’s kind enough to provide us with a cool video on how to use your TomTom mount with the new phone. And speaking of videos and the Worldcup, YouTube joins the fray with a new Vuvuzela button. So sit back, grab a big glass of sweet tea and fire up the Vuvuzela, and enjoy the show!

The Michael’s are face to face for a live show at BeanTraders, while Andy is traveling this week. We try a bit of Mana to help get us fully charged for the show, but the results are not what you expect. We decide not to dig into this week’s E3 conference, until we are at full strength, so drop us your tags about what games are on your wish list.

We welcome back Sandy Kearney, who is now the volunteer president of a new organization E426 – The Innovation Corps for America. We have a great time catching up on all your tags… Speaking of Time, the Michaels got to spend some time this week talking with Chris Hazard of Hazardous Software and discuss the coolness of time travel. We also become Outovators (as opposed to Innovators), describing a bunch of potential ideas that people can use in the area of Time Travel. In that spirit we are aggressively leveraging our innovators – we stick them head first into a cranny!

What’s Cool
Andy — meeting @turbotodd and editing video on the iPhone
Michael R — Delicious Library iPhone App
Michael M — Zoning Out (via Gypsychk)
Sandy — 1,000 inches in Loveland – Rita King is working on this
