Dogear Nation

Simplicity + Maximum Verbosity

Matt and Michael M ensure that the show goes on, despite Michael R’s illness — sending good wishes to our missing co-host with a slightly longer than usual episode, Matt and Michael talk about the beauty of simplicity, both in software and hardware products, reminisce about Dungeons and Dragons and discuss the grand sport of peep jousting . When things just work, it’s a beautiful thing. Matt is slowly breaking down, calling an iPhone “seductive” and actually tagging links with the device that must not be named. Could we be going 3 for 3 in the Dogear Nation host to iPhone ratio? Time will tell. In any case, pay attention to Matt’s final thought and backup your hard drive. You’ll be glad you did!
