Apologies ahead of time for the quality of my voice today

I’m very stuffed up. Didn’t think it showed as much as it did. After editing the show it sounds pretty funny if i do say so myself. think clothespin on the nose.

So the caper went down like this the wife baked cookies today, not just any cookies but chocolate chip cookies, thus starts the descent into madness around the holidays. I’ve been working on the lair most of the weekend including a goodly time today, so a stolen cookie is my reward. They may be being saved for a family function later on this week, but they tasted sooo good.

By the by… stolen cookies topped with uncooked cookie dough is a lesson in love… right there on your tongue, it dances. But you came to learn about tech and all other manner of fun things. I have a snippet of tech a little bit of deals and a couple morsels of caffeinated hijinks to saite you for the week.  This episode is dubbed the sneaking cookies, because that act of theft powered the show into the wee hours of the morning.

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. Last chance to enter till November 25th

Too much noise in the neighborhood during the daytime

This was one busy holiday weekend here at the lair, and beyond. The birth of a nation was celebrated by everyone in the USA, and there were cookouts and fireworks all around. We spent the day away from the lair and the weekend slowly caught up to me on Sunday evening I was unable to rock out a good show. Fell asleep even trying. So luckily I took today off to be with my son and am attempting to record a show while he’s napping. Still caffeinated, just trying to be quite.

Of course the best laid plans never seem to work out so the boy woke up, the neighborhood erupted in noise and the dog and the cats staged world war three under my feet, so the result is a heavy edited show, and a promise to once again move back into the night where i belong. Let that not dampen the enjoyment of the news and fun bits.

The CaffiNation is also very proud to take part in the Summer of Podcasts Contest Head on over and check out the shows rocking the codeword this week.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Hello all and welcome to episode 300 of the venerable CaffiNation Podcast. Tonight i decided to mix some things up to give you a taste of history a bit of geeky news and then a look back at some of the highlights you may have not seen. We also announce the contest for the 3 in 3 event. 300 episodes in 3 years… January 9th 2006, i uttered those now, still not really all that famous words. “Hi and welcome to the CaffiNation podcast” Three years and three hundred episodes later we’re still going strong things have changed a bit, hosts have moved and the archives grow fat with their bounty of entertainment.

I truly love giving this show to you each week and I only ever ask that you enjoy the content and if the mood strikes you drop me a line in return. I love connecting with listeners.

Before this tangent runs on too long I’ll just simply say. Thank you once agin for all the attention that has been paid and the feedback that has been given.

The season is upon us and no matter which feast you are about to celebrate it can be a fun time of the year. We have an episode packed with conversation starters and did you know facts for sharing around the table at dinner. Why? you may ask? Well i ask why not, if you can’t be full of crazy scattered information then why start a conversation in the first place. This episode holds the keys to avoiding the holiday pitfalls of religion, politics, and items of a more carnal nature. Why not talk about tech instead, although some devotion to platform can reach a fervent level we try our best to keep tonight’s off kilter show as non biased as possible.

Enjoy the Episode!
