A big show here, and not for the normal reasons. We’re trying to get back on track with content and focusing on the news. Real life sometimes gets in the way of the Life Podtastic. Refocusing the show back on some fun content. We cover Pumpkin boats, Beer Can stoves, Bladeless fans, Facebook Fanning,and Latte Art. Eclectic topics and a couple of days all over the place, but the show must go on, and so it does.

A bit personal these last two shows, but its cathartic. Its nice to be able to share just a bit of myself while Idispense news and silliness. A bit disjointed but overall a nice show.

There is a new contest from Jeffery Powers over at Podcast Madness, Enter the code blogsimple for a chance to win a year-long subscription to Mozy, a web backup solution.

Today’s Show: Video Games, Halloween, Coffee, branding, recipes, burgers

Dedicated to My Aunt Mary, Who Loved to tell stories. We have a lot of great news and a few fun stories in this show. Hopefully you’ll enjoy the episode as it is. I’ve been fighting through some nasty allergies the past couple of days so my voice isn’t as clear as I like it to be but the mind is still sharp. Lots of content stretching from my adventures cooking to the crazy contraptions some people would consider flying around. Stay tuned and stay caffeinated!

I needed to share this one quick little blip for you then set you back about your business. I often speak about tech on this blog and mention coffee as an after thought. But this once I wanted top address the Tea and Coffee acolytes of the CaffiNation. I personally love that coffee and tea are a mystical pair of beverages. They seem to have this otherworldly quality about them. They have the power to bring family and friends together under a common banner, they have the ability to calm and sooth the roughest morning and calm the stormy nights.

It is counterintuitive that caffeinated beverages seem to calm us all down, and at the same time rev us all up in the morning.  I had a great morning here in the CaffiNation Headquarters sharing family time with my son, and my wife. I wanted to share a happy thought and Hope your having a good weekend as wel. Enjoy the rest of your time with your family and have a mug for me.

I’ve been asked that question several times this morning. Already the hoards of now de-CaffiNation’d people are mounting an offensive offensive, breaking down my inbox.

Admittedly I haven’t missed a show in a long time, And this one will just be late. I usually post a note stating that fact beforehand, but yesterday was a marathon. Suffice it to say that between working on the house yesterday, all day. And running around to see every family member who still lives within 25 miles yesterday, I was tired. More so than any coffee, pill, or caffeine IV could fix. We ran from 6am – 8pm. Counting church, 4 houses 5 meals and one very cranky baby by the end of the day. There was no gas left in the tank. So I beg your pardon and understanding in this matter.

So By the end of today you should have your caffeinated fix for the early part of this week and as always we’ll be back on schedule for Wednesday. Again a  thousan pardons
