Hey, Hey, Hey, What’s Happening? Raj, Rerun, and Dwayne are all back this episode for some good old fashion fun. After meeting up at our favorite lunch time place, the 3D Internet, we venture over to a strange and wonderful tech-no-tronic world full of scalability and youtube. Ultimately Dwayne asks, What’s Happening? and we end up thinking some Final Thoughts. Thanks for all the great tags from – rickmans, epredator, blebs, wideawakewesley, jtonline, heidigoseek, and lx5

Please note, we are aware of the problem with our iTunes feed and have been trying to get it fixed. You can still subscribe and will get the current episode even if the iTunes store shows our last episode being in August.

Thanks to ePredator, Michael R. spends a significant amount of time talking about World of Warcraft, while Michael M. wants to play MMO’s by himself. Andy reiterates that Matt needs a Mac. We are all incredibly excited by LX5’s link on molecular printing — Here comes the Star Trek replicator — way cool! Andy reminds us, if you make a website, don’t loop your midi file… it’s really really annoying. We also have started a Dogear-Nation wave on google wave, so let us know if you have a Wave account and we’ll add you to this wave.

Andy and Michael M hold down the fort, with Michael R feeling under the weather. With cool things to play with such as the Bomomo painting program (see the handiwork below), Opensim in a Browser, Stonehenge, Google Wave, homages to great commercials and great movies and an article that attests that Social Media junkies use email more. We don’t believe that for an instant, do we, Luis?

To end the show, Andy tries his hand at channeling Dr. Evil and Michael M brings up Elwood Blues.
