Today’s Show: Podcamp, Podcasting, coffee, community and passion This episode is a bit f a departure from the normal episodic content of the CaffiNation Podcast. Its basically the dulcet sounds of my voice bridging between to live segments. I’m getting the hang of recording live more and more and I’d love to incorporate this type of thing in the future. Its all about you the listeners in the end. If you dig it I will keep it up, if you hate it I may just move on. Comments feedbac and suggestions are always welcome!

Today’s show is packed full with great stories, some should be taken with a grain of salt and others with a good stiff drink. Anyone else getting Bleeding Heart Cause Fatigue? As always a great deal of nonsense and information pervade the stories and tales we have selected today. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did

If you recently read my article on the Micro Blogging Social Networks, or SocNets, and you should have by now. You may know that twitter has a mascot, but not the good kind of mascot this mascot only comes out of the dungeon to inflict pain on people. Known by his filename as whale.png, the Fail Whale is the smirking an apparently euphoric error screen which graces twitter when the servers are up, the wheels are spinning, but the hamsters are dead. The used to have a screen with a one handed robot, but apparently that was to blatant, and obvious of an error message. They wanted us to know that tiny birds can lift a whale, and he loves it.

No one ever asks why the Whale is happy? Do they only let him out when the servers die? Are the birds attempting to free willy? What do the birds get out of all of this? No one knows. But the Failwhale has two cousins which we can only hope we never see…

It has been way too long since I posted a FoF Friday. So I’ll give you a quick hit.

If you follow me on twitter you will know that I have been trying to get back into sketching. When i was in school for archeology I did a great deal of sketching, both of artifacts and of illustrations to practice. I wouldn’t say I’m great at it but I miss doing it. So i decided to try and get back into the swing of things with some simple Illustrations. I Picked a Birch Tree, a Pansy Flower and a Mum. All plants that live on campus and make great immobile subjects for a lunch time sketching break. Nice spring day, good breeze a cup of coffee and my book.

As for the Podsafe inspiration for today’s work, it wasn’t a music number at all but rather a podcast. I have been listening to Six Pixels of Separation by Mitch Joel a good deal recently. I’m trying to catch up to his current show but i think I’m about 2 weeks behind. Mitch has an unbelievably smooth delivery and a great way of putting any concept into clear terms. If you are in any way interested in Digital Marketing then you need to listen to his show. His rather laid back style inspired the layout and the color choices on the images below I hope you like them.

Here are the three wallpaper’s I did last night. All sketched on the same page but made for better wallpapers apart.

Birch, Mum, Pansy in that order. Enjoy

Today is a special day.

Everyday is special but today is the first full day that the silliness over at Twitter has truly embraced @TeamCoffee. So in honor of our first full day on the planet I figured a Form over Function Friday dedicated to the team as an inspiration as well. Form Over Function Friday is a recent tradition here at the CaffiNation Podcast. Basically every friday I take some element of Podsafe, independant music, and work it into a design which ends up as a wallpaper, available to you for your download enjoyment.

You didn’t think I forgot did you?

Nope this Highly caffeinated piece was inspired by some good hard rocking Podsafe music. The Groove Mind’s hate Box.
I wanted to play the song Hate box on my podcast, because I love the deep, dare I say merciless hard driving guitar running through the entire Song, however I run a clean show, and there are just one too many little gems in this song. The Groove Mind has been featured before but I was listening to Hate box while I was playing around with some 3d modeling applications. If you don’t mind a little spice in your music then I can highly recommend check this band u, specifically this song. Groove Mind is on the Podsafe Music Network as well as Myspace. Sean, the “sole driving force” behind the band has posted some even more shredder style guitar antics over at myspace. Its no accident that Yngwie Malmsteen is one of the man’s influences. Good stuff all around.
