Its an HTTP Error Silly

With last week being off the charts crazy We’rte hoping for a much more sedate and productive week this time around. In that spirit we’ve been sending nothing but positive waves man. Google waves, non withstanding. By the by if you want an invite to google wave drop me a line and I’ll send one your direction.

Tonights show was a fun process, I’m always working on the details of creating a CaffiNation Episode, so from time to time the hiccups in production create a happy accident. This was one of those times, i messed up the machine i use for recording only to find it better set up the new way. Hopefully the quality comes through in the end.

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.

Tonight’s show is a warming up edition. 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.

Enjoy the Episode!

Today’s Episode is full of the high points and the low points of technology as a hobby and the way we live in general. Not meant to be too overbearing and heavy handed of a show we also included plenty of goofy gadgets and silly caffeinated drinks to round out your experience.
