Dogear-Nation - Episode 64 - Will you still need me? Will you still feed me?

Michael and Michael have fun catching up after a week off for recharging. Unfortunately our special guest Phaedra Boinodiris got caught up in her day job and couldn’t join us, but her tag on Hacking the Olympics sparked a great discussion on information hacking. Speaking of hacking, we review how Mobility hacks up your personal life, no way to get away from work. Duckboxxer and Andy Piper provide some great tags on Twitter. We also talk about the perils of location based services. We bring back a brief discussion on the 3D Internet, looking at where has all the hype gone. And end the show in honor of all those parents and students dealing with back to school.

Dogear-Nation - Episode 44 - Simplicity + Maximum Verbosity

Podcast 2 Comments »

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!
