Its an HTTP Error Silly

This week has been one long error. From the moment I step foot in the door at work until my head hits the pillow at night I’ve been beset by projects and delays. One fantastic thing did happen, we heard the heartbeat of CaffiNation 2.0 Rev 2 on Tuesday, so no week can be entirely bad with that happening.

I have to-do lists nested inside my to-do lists both at work and home, so its really no surprise that I’ve been living off coffee something fierce. Fearing a recursion mistake or a syntax error I’ve been hitting the java hard, and often. I can see time right now. Just had to share.

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.

After taking some time off to start the recovery process we’re back in the saddle with a ton of fun stories gleaned from over the past week of waiting. Surgery went well, nothing but good news, now all that is left is to heal from the process. I’m not allowed to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk, so this episode is dedicated to my wife who is literally carrying the family right now.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

It seems that no one can get a break around CaffiNation HQ, I’d like to thank everyone who sent well wishes over the various pieces of social media. Last Friday I came down with the same bug that was working its way through our house, and no it wasn’t swine flu.  So you’ll excuse me if this show is a bit more brief. Between worn out windpipes and a tattered immune system I’m not sure what I’ll be called on to fend off when the Little man comes back home from daycare or I enter work once more.

The news has been fertile these past few days. Some of the news is sensationalistic, other bits are salacious. Well stick to the facts and give you al the details about the serious problems, and the lighter side of the net as well.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
