Buying coffee from a supermarket is a truly scary endeavor at times. And Mike has his tips down pretty spot on, I would only add that the store beans in the see through canisters, are probably not fresh, and have already oxidized since they are open to the air all the time.  But I struggle with my inner coffee snob all the time.

I have a confession to make, well its not a confession since most of my listeners already know, and if you see my basement the cans are everywhere. As a backup plan for whole bean coffee I go through Chock Full O’ Nuts Cans, the flavor is good and usually fresh since the store sells out of them fairly quickly.

I got a fever, and the only thing for it is more Podcast

Tonight’s show is a delayed version of yesterday’s lineup. I changed and tinkered with the stories a bit but overall it remains the same. With fevers chills and every other type of illness trying to harsh my mellow i wanted to get this show out, missed far too many these past few months.

Tonight we talk about tips for great coffee, demystifying marketing terms associated with coffee, the star wars kid, ways to redesign traffic lights, build your own transformer on the cheap and so much more. I wander, rant and lament about a slew of different things. Its a stuffy show, but someone had to do it.  Apologies in advance for my voice.

I wanted to put the call out for anyone who wanted to get their feet wet with blogging, try a guest post every once in a while I’m looking at ways to make the blog and podcast better.

You can’t record if you’re not awake

On a nice cool Wednesday Night I sat down to write a bit of a blog post, move some stories around, i have over an hour and a half till showtime so i put my feet up. I then wake up over an hour and a half AFTER the scheduled time… A quick check online and a suggestion from Norbert and i head off to bed to try again on the morrow…

By the By episode 430 must have been so nice I named it twice. the whole recording of this show I referred to 431 as 430, but it isn’t its really 431, stay with me here. Terribly Sorry about that.

This is that morrow, and the show has only grown since then. More Stories some apologies and more awesome. Sit down, perk up and grab a mug of your favorite roast. We’re going full steam, a bit of froth maybe a dash of cinnamon. I’m planning on a great show lets see how it ends up together.

We’re Talking about Star Wars Coffee, Beer, Legos, Tetris, Politics, Physics, Wine, and the wide open sea.

So I’m 30 now, new decade, same mission. I’ve sworn to bring the fun, and often overlooked bits of web detritus and caffeinated goodness to your ears, twice weekly. While not yet at the age of adulthood for a hobbit i find myself once more just the right age for a man. This week’s show has a mix of both old and new, retro goodies nestles in between bits of current news and interesting stories. Bonus points for the first person to tell me what the hobbit age of adulthood is. :-D
