So I took the plunge in work and at home and upgraded to windows 7 for two very different reasons. In work I need to test the software students might come in with, and our design application had a notoriously bad time prepping versions for Vista. So this time around i wanted to do a blanket test to see what might happen to the different high end applications we run. At home the machine was in dire need of a refresh. And this staved off the inevitable for now. I’m working on a post to cover what happened but overall I’m impressed in a way I was nto expecting to be.

All of that being said This episode has some scary fun stuff in preparation for Halloween. The usual assortment of costume and pumpkin articles are coupled with some awesome DIY Ideas. Enjoy the feast.

I had an awesome time doing TPN Weekly at the start of this past week.

Things have been better in the CaffiNation Lair, lots of stuff happening on the personal end, but nothing stops the news. We have a ton of great content literally busting at the seems for this show. I had to actually cut 4 recorded segments out of the show to get it down to 35 minutes. I find anything longer and we seem to loose people.

This episode is called the winding road because i feel that throughout the episode we traveled a great deal across the geek culture landscape from lego lights to celestial bodies, we hit all the high points of the net neutrality cat fight between google and the large carriers as well as touch on some of the great bits of minutia to surface of late. Sit back and enjoy the show!

Registration for Podcamp Philly Continues. We’re really excited to bring the event back to Temple University on October 3rd and 4th. Hopefully I’ll see you there! Are you wondering why you should go to a Podcamp?
