It’s not easy, nothing is ever that easy

So the spring semester came in with a bang just now, i’m up to my eyeballs in work to do for the department and the only positive at this point is that i’m  making headway on a couple of huge problems. Learning is fun!

Tonight i decided to break out the shoehorn and figure just how many angles could fit on the head of a microphone. In short we have a ton of stuff to talk about and only one person to do the talking. So get ready for some fast paced action.

Tonight’s show has everything the well heeled geek needs, star wars, LEGO, coffee, weapons, Mario, Atari, Halo, cupcakes, charity and compassion. It’s all part of a balanced information diet!

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?

Enjoy the show!

We’re running on espresso and fumes right about now, which sounds like fun but honestly leaves something to be desired.

Every Fall i get the same problem afflicting my vocal cords. The true problem is that coffee, my lifeline, my love makes the problem worse. So I end up being cranky and undercaffeinated. Tea is all well and good but its missing something for me, perhaps its just not viscus enough?

On to the news! A huge set of data to cull through for today’s show but I think that we came up with the best of the best to share with you today.
