Well this week the guys tried something new…Skype 5.0 group video chat. Unfortunately the audio was not captured correctly so we will not be showing the full show as a video in the Podcast stream. We will include a small clip on the blog, so don’t forget to check it out. We have a great set of listener tags, including NASA, Star Trek, Random USB Drops, Patents, and new film technology. So sit back, plug in your media player, and enjoy the show.

Michael, Andy, and Michael come together this week to a plethora of user tags, and somehow we get very morbid with our discussion. Is Second Life dead (again), can heroes come back to life if they are played by Cats, and why do we keep hearing tweets from the dead? All these questions will be answered… So sit back, grab a beersicle from the freezer and enjoy the show.

What’s cool?
Andy — Reenactment (with cats): The Princess Bride
Michael R — Backpack with frickin’ lasers in it
Michael M — Star Trek iPad – 23 years ago
