I shall vigorously defend my collective noun as the one true choice. A rossum of robots was chosen for its alliterative possibilities, and its historical context. Today's show has a ton of great content stretching from Russian UFO's to Green tech in Fed Ex. We cover a nifty product sent into the podcast to review as well as a couple other finer articles and points in caffeinated living.

Today's Show is awake, yet tired Sponsor: Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days! For this special offer visit www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts (http://www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts) --- The weather has taken a turn for the awesome and I'm starting to feel much better so Its time for the yearly dedicated show to outdoor geekery and good manly grilling, errr... Alright so i never announced it before but each year I usually throw a show out there with a preponderance of grilling and outdoorsy type news into the mix, so this would be that Show. I am however still in a heavy mental fog, i can't rationalize what i want to do with what I can do at this point. Which is why the episode is some hours late and more than a bit disjointed. Apologies all around and I hope you enjoy the Daylight version of the CaffiNation.
