CaffiNation 405: Planning

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'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.
