Shoulder Surgery Went well, but i’m not well enough to pitch a fit… get it?

Sponsored by Puzzle Piece Productions

This has been a long layoff, I lost a whole week there recovering from the shoulder surgery. Still not back to being 100 percent, I lot has gone into the news about 99, or the 1 and a whole bunch of other things on this show we only have one OWS joke, a couple of bad puns as per usual, and maybe a couple geeky references. I gots my arm in a sling, my heart on my sleeve and a chip on my shoulder, you know the good one. So I feel a good show was had by all.

Tonight we touch on the coffee, we hit up the Cartoons, we make fun of some activists and we have a couple of recipies to share. All in all its a good crop of stories. Please forgive the issues with today’s show one of the stories below had an add that didn’t play nicely with the caffination workstation and everything jammed up. I lost the chat room, and we thought until after the show was over that we had lost the audio as well. In fat we didn’t even record video on Ustream! Huge issues all around and we will hopefully have them fixed next timwe. But hey this is a crazy fun show with some good audience participation.

I’m not sure if i have too much to say about this… Its a Meat teacup… I’ll just leave this hear and you can consider it. Overall i do have to say the structure is fantastic and it actually looks like it could hold some serious beverage. I personally would like to see an equally well done Meat Beer Stein… possible made from sausage and bacon.

Events can rock the world, we control our response

We here at the CaffiNation send our deepest thoughts and well wishes to the people affected by the Japanese Tsunami and Quake. The first segment in our show is dedicated to providing correct and sensible information on what we know and where you can help. one of the biggest problems with the news cycle of Mainstream sources is that they frequently pull in content and skew it off course. We will try to give you only best information.

Beyond tragedy the world continues to go on. So we have a good does of fun and uplifting nonsense as per usual. Nonsense is needed at any time, keeps the reality in perspective. The world is full of people who will lament the sorrows that are around and ask why other’s aren’t doing more. So what you can. Don’t be that guy. We have a ton of good, fun and offbeat stories to talk about. from T shirt rounds to Grilling goodies, Lego of course makes its almost weekly appearance, as does a Mario interlude, and some awesome video game news. We have a couple angry birds, a few nesting dolls and some beverages to review.

We’re constantly looking for awesome and fun content so make sure to contact us if you find a story or would like to contribute!

Its been an awesome weekend. My personal batteries are well on their way to being recharged. I spent most of the weekend unplugged gardening, fishing and spending time with the family, friends and catching a movie. Its springtime people, load the portable music device up andstep out into the wide world.

There was a ton of nifty things happening online this past weekend. From Swine flu to Bacon stories. Any well heeled geek needs to find a happy medium when consuming mainstream media, so we have all of the back alleys and dark corners covered in this show. We deal with Remix Culture, legos, and design.

This past weekend was great as the area started to get a taste of spring, so fishing was had, and eggs were hunted, But the news was plentiful anyway. usually if the weather is bright and shining I have a rough time finding good content for the show, today i was turning away strong stories, Had to sift through a ton of awesome lego articles, great Bacon treats and wonderful coffee news items. Everything begging to get out, every story ready to roll. I hope that this jumpstarts your work week and gets you in gear and armed against the comming tide of work.

Today’s Show: Pranks, Jokes, Scam, Virii, Silliness, Nonsense, Legos, Magic, Sentient Computers, Bacon, Bigfoot

April Fools…

It had to be said, but today is a day dedicated to nonsense and all of its silly little ilk. I love April Fools day, not just because of what it represents, but also because a truly good prank takes dedication, hard work and a sense of style. its easy to be mean, and funny. Its even easy to set up prat falls and slapstick, in theory but a truly great prank takes epic effort. Today we salute some which come close, some which fail and some which aren’t pranks at all but sure seem like it. Its an action packed episode from front to back so I hope that you enjoy.

This show was recorded while i had a fever so i would like to say that i’m not responsible for anything that was said in my delusional state, but we all know that’s bunk. This time of the year my sleeping habits always catch up to me. Staying home with the boy was rewarding and exhausting but also put me here. But like scarlet O’Hara I always depend on the kindness of strangers, over half the links in today’s show were sent in by listeners, which didn’t even know how rough this weekend was. Thank you all so much!

Enjoy the Episode!
