Vinnie Jones, known for playing tough guy roles such roles as Big Chris in” Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels”, Sphinx in “Gone in 60 Seconds, has recently starred in a commercial for “The British Heart Foundation“, where he is promoting “Hands-Only CPR” And in today’s society, I believe people would prefer Hands-Only CPR to what is usually taught.

As a family we found ourselves with a rare free weekend and enjoyed the heck out of it. So today’s Caffination is suffering from the good kind of tired where you know you’ve drained your batteries, but enjoyed doing so. There is both good news and bad news for today’s show however. The good news is the new dog does not like coffee, the bad news thats pretty much all the coffee news I have for the show. So this episode will lean a bit heavily on the tech side of things.It seems that a good deal of the country was out doing things these past couple of days as the overall volume of substantial news was down.

We’ll be covering some current events and how they affected the tech world, Michael Jackson’s passing, Iran and twitter. Silly people and conclusions, you name it we’ll touch on it. But we also have plenty of time for a bit of silly news and products that happen to have made their way to my inbox as well.

The CaffiNation is also very proud to take part in the Summer of Podcasts Contest, and we’ll be giving you the rundown on what that means in the lead into the show today.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
