Sedate Live show brings some awesome content! Enjoy
I made the mistake of not having the show notes up and at the ready for tonights live show which made two things happen. First it increased the overall length of the show, as I stalled waiting for pages to load. We also happened to have a ton of fantastic content. So as we wandered through the links i had set up I also found a couple winners that almost managed to sneak through.
Tonight is full of Japanese Leg Snuggies, Coffee gadgetry, Facebook Criminals, Ferrari Enzos, and so much more. Lots of fun things to keep you ears glued and your eyes peeled. Have a very merry Christmas everyone
What is WWFD? well you’ll need to listen in to find out
I’ve been slightly askew in my reading of late, so the resulting show you get is a bit more geeky and more design based than normal. I hope you enjoy these different takes on things. I also showcase a new video i made called Learning from Stupid, its exactly what it sounds like…
I make mistakes and you get to listen, laugh and hopefully learn a bit.I’ve been thinking about different ways to make the show more engaging and hopefully some of them will come to fruition in the short term. The first video is up in this episode, expect more to come after that, different things, some coffee tech, some lectures and talks i’ve done. I have a lot of things that need to be edited, i just have to make the time to do it now.Who doesn’t like free stuff? Hows about free awesome stuff?
The Podcast Madness continues, they’re now giving away an Epson Artisan 810, on a spiffy new site no less. I love Epson printers, you simply can’t beat them for clarity and brilliant colors, and these loons are giving a good printer away scott free. Well you do have to listen in to our show and the others in the mix to get you chances.
With the past couple weeks I’ve had I have fallen behind on many things, chief of which being sleep. And I’m sure You’ve heard that whenever it rains it pours, well the dog has decided to exaberate the problem by keeping my up and ruining the overall quality of the little sleep I have been getting. Read more about it here. Its funny in retrospect, even if I was laughing at the time.
But as is such the show will be delayed by one night, similar to the Episode 376 delay, but with a little forethought to warn you of the delay.
So Episode 377 will be out Thursday Night and We’ll be back on schedule this Sunday.
Thanks for your paitence, and join me by attempting to stay caffeinated!
If this attempt works you should see a sample of content composed inside of Google Wave. If not you might see blank space, or a horrid green box. This content is so new its not even beta, its preview, just after alpha. Not sure about what Google Wave is? I did a play by play rundown of the announcement, it might give you a better idea of the feature set going to be rolling out.
For the Layperson this means that Not Ready For Prime time is an understatement, there are missing features, possible crashes and a sparsely populated environment. The funny thing about limited BETA, or trial programs is that EVERYONE simple HAS to get an invite. All the cool kids are doing it…
But this is one of the few times in recent memory where software or a service has been released where the front of the liners are not going to find much joy. People have come to expect a robust offering from software developers, and more often than not the developer used the limited beta hook to bring in the line jumpers and create buzz, this of course backfires when things don’t work swimmingly.
As a passable coder i hope to get to play around with the API and possibly to some other fun things. lets surf this wave and see what happens, I’m also going to need an infusion of bad wave related jokes to keep this going.
To say the weekend, and by extension the past week has been busy would be an outright lie. It has been a non stop parade of tiny little awesome things lining up to be done. Well I sit here having done about half of them, some i feel were done really well, others lacked a bit in the execution. I’ll explain as we go through the show but this episode is going to be a different sort of show.

From time to time i travel away from the Caffination Lair, and when i do i like to make note of exceptional coffee findings. When I venture to a hotel i don’t have very high hopes for coffee, most of the time i just pray that the little machine in the room is clean and call that a win when it is.
This past weekend i stayed at the Lovely Radnor Hotel to attend my Cousin’s wedding, which was actually held at the very same hotel. The hotel was beautiful and the accommodations where very very nice.The ceremony was held indoors due to inclement weather and the staff from the hotel at all times were very friendly and helpful.
But being the kind of person I am I was stunned to find no coffee maker in the room but rather a large Douwe & Egberts Machine in the lobby. I was stunned, not only because I truly love Douwe and Egberts coffee for its smooth taste, but also because a hotel has finally made the correct choice, Centralized Quality over convenient junk.
In the morning there is a full station, which i didn’t get a chance to snap a picture of with selections of sweeteners, Twining Tea Bags and creamers.
I just had to share the experience. My only regret was that i didn’t try their restaurant while i was there however my parents had rave things to say about the food as well.
I was the guest host for this weeks edition of TechPodcast Weekly today. I decided to cover a bunch of coffee questions that I get asked frequently. Check below for an idea of what went down, and follow the link to the show notes to enjoy the show in all of its majesty
For the next week i’ll be mostly offline, there should be a good deal of awesomeness built up in the archives and new shows dropping while I’m out to saite your thirst for Caffeinated goodness and Techy sweet treats. I’ll also be hosting the TPNW Show for the TechPodcast Network airing on Monday. So Its been a busy week of recording. I’m getting tired of my own voice again.
This time on TPNW I’ll be doing a short informative session on Podcasting Setups and Coffee Basics. Nice short and to the point.

I have been put through the wringer the past week, my sleep and caffeine schedules are on opposite waves. So I’m trying to break the cycle and bring the noise and the funk back to you. there are a couple of tangential stories woven into the podcast but for once i took control of myself and reigned them in forbefore they blew the time out of the water.
This episode has everything in it from Dragons, to Conspiracy theories, Legos to Beer. Its great mix, we think of news and information designed to educate and entertain, while covering the wonderful world of tech and caffeine.

I’ve been dabbling in the realm of home roasting and video production at the same time. So I’m still working the bugs out of both. I need to take better notes while roasting and plan my videos a little better as well. But without further ado here is the Video of Coffee Roasting, or CaffiNation AFK (Away From Keyboard)
Please be aware the Poppery is loud, so the next video will be more heavily edited, and sound controlled.
