Its an HTTP Error Silly

With last week being off the charts crazy We’rte hoping for a much more sedate and productive week this time around. In that spirit we’ve been sending nothing but positive waves man. Google waves, non withstanding. By the by if you want an invite to google wave drop me a line and I’ll send one your direction.

Tonights show was a fun process, I’m always working on the details of creating a CaffiNation Episode, so from time to time the hiccups in production create a happy accident. This was one of those times, i messed up the machine i use for recording only to find it better set up the new way. Hopefully the quality comes through in the end.

I’m focusing on putting more content on the blog as a whole, updates daily and one off fun news and design stories all week long. Its like a to go portion of my special brand of crazy. However for the random bits of detris and the slightly off color remarks caffination.tumblr.com will still hold sway.

It’s not easy, nothing is ever that easy

So the spring semester came in with a bang just now, i’m up to my eyeballs in work to do for the department and the only positive at this point is that i’m  making headway on a couple of huge problems. Learning is fun!

Tonight i decided to break out the shoehorn and figure just how many angles could fit on the head of a microphone. In short we have a ton of stuff to talk about and only one person to do the talking. So get ready for some fast paced action.

Tonight’s show has everything the well heeled geek needs, star wars, LEGO, coffee, weapons, Mario, Atari, Halo, cupcakes, charity and compassion. It’s all part of a balanced information diet!
