While this time of year is usually spent covered in materialism please remember to keep everything in perspective and sometime just you is gift enough. That aside lets ogle some spiffy gadgets, not necessarily buy. But think of this show as window shopping in the geekiest of places. We take a look at some spiffy things coming down the chimney, hear tales of a mythical Lego menorah and stare in wonderment at the bounty of links in front of us. I hope you enjoy today's episode.

I've spent a good deal of the weekend so far outside in the cold weather. its definitely starting to feel like the season for once. Tonight's tech and caffeine will hopefully bring a little warmth to your earlobes and warm your mind with delight. I talk a bit about the upcoming gift giving season throughout the show.  I have been doing quite a bit of work on the website and Haven't gotten it the way i would like it just yet, I'm always looking for comments and suggestions about features you would like to see on the site and any wonky design problems you see on the page. We might be winding down our hosting agreement with the current provider and migrating over the holiday break, quicker servers and better admin interface, but that's getting ahead of myself now isn't it.
