App Thursday

Bonus - Google Glass

John Biehler showed up for taping this weeks show with Google Glass perched on his schnoz. For all of us in the room this was our first exposure to Google's venture into wearable technology.

Google Glass is causing quite a stir as it is a compelling and interesting technology that will have profound social impact. There are challenges around privacy, propriety, distraction, a myriad of issues accompany the introduction of Google Glass.

After we had a quick chat with John about his experiences using Google Glass, we got down to the business of the day, App Thursday, a grand battle between:

• Art Factora
• John Biehler
• David Hathaway
• Isaac Kendall

And what a battle it was! We probably had more great apps in this particular episode than any previous show. The winner, you'll have to tune in to find out!

We have a little something for everyone on this weeks show.

Leading off we have social media icon Michael Stelzner talking about a pet project of his. it is a website designed to help parents and grandparents become more involved in their kids lives by providing ideas for regular adventures to have with our children.

Jay Cormier, computer gaming aficionado, weighs in on the Xbox One versus PlayStation 4 debate. Jay is perched firmly on the fence between both camps. Both the Sony and Microsoft game consoles launch over the next few weeks, and will be competing hammer and tongs for the hearts and wallets of consumers leading into the Christmas season.

Paul Chato leads off this week's show; he is a long time friend and one of the original cast members of the Frantics, yep, Mr Canoe Head is in the house!

Paul has a KickStarter project he has just launched, and we get to jump in and see what is happening from the start.

Funny content, funny guy, interesting project, it is a trifecta of interestingness.

Next up Ross Dunn takes some time and patiently, (very patiently) explains SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to me. I know you don't understand it, very few do, that is why we need guests like Ross!

Finally long time guest Paul Demara on LED lighting, a good thing, and increasingly more affordable.

Not very spooky  topics for Halloween night, as we have a candid conversation with two top notch social media consultants. Vickie McLeod and Sean Smith join me to discuss small ball social media. Community based social media, reaching around the block instead of around the world.

Isaac Kendall returns to chat about BBM, with over 20 million downloads in less than a week. Is it representative of a change in Blackberry's fortunes?

And Julian Sanders, from London Drugs talks Tablets and WIndows 8.1, including the long awaited return of the Start Button!
