Dogear Nation » Podcast

Andy, Michael and Michael are together again this week and decide that the obligatory 3-D Internet section didn’t have any content this week, so we let it slide. Is it still obligatory? Come post comments on the blog and let us know…Eroding your electronic brand… Printing a new kidney… More augmented reality… and a ton of news links from Andy… All this and more on this week’s Dogear-Nation!

Thank you for all your tags this week. And if you can figure out the video game that Michael R talked about during the Tech-no-tronic section…comment on this week’s show.

Andy Piper joins us, back from the Web 2.0 conference, with insights and memories from Berlin. Our listeners have been busy tagging, so we have a great show with information on Electricity, CyberTwins (like “Wonder Twins, but different”), Name Tags, and more. We also include another in our series of interviews from the Virtual Worlds Conference with Justin Bovington from Rivers Run Red.

Michael and Michael welcome special guest Rob Smart to the show this week. Rob comes from IBM’s Hursley lab and was the developer of the Second Life Translation HUD back in 2006. While the rest of the world is talking about the olympics, the we focus on tech, tweets, and drinks this week. Our listener links this week focus on iPhone access to Virtual Worlds, Data, and Mobile Me. We look at the new xbat imbedded in Internet Explorer 7, and a quick look back at the summer of Web 2.0. We also unveil the new Dogear-Nation Hoodie! Just a reminder that we will not be recording a show next week and will be back on our recording schedule August 22nd.

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!
