Podcasting from a Cave tonight

So I’m facing a problem i haven’t had to deal with since i was 17. I’ve had a migraine for over 5 days now. Not sure whats causing it but man alive if it hasn’t affected every thing I’m trying to do.

But that little fact can’t stop the awesome news and tech we have coming for you tonight. I have a heavy does of reality and honest to goodness real news to talk about from apple running at HTC to the importance of Adopt a Newb. You’ll need to listen to find out the particulars

So tonights show will be done in the dark with squinted eyes and no coffee. Hopefully the awesome will shine through and the problems will slowly dissipate over the course of the episode.

So far this week has been a non starter, out of work for Family Maintenance and unable to get going writing. however yesterday i received my Green Coffee and new coffee roaster. So the next few weeks will be very well caffeinated. I also lied when i said i would never again record during the day, as I sit here and attempt to do it once more. Its been an odd week.

There are so many stories on today’s show i don’t have time to write snark. And thats saying something. I barely managed a pun or two. For some reason the bad jokes were writing themselves today. Wrong day of the week for a Punday reference but a great book non the less. Spider Robinson’s Callahan Chronicals

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!

Today’s episode is going to be an interesting ride, and its the first show in a while where i can’t come up with a good title right off the bat. Since we have returned to writing articles there is plenty of fodder for commentary in the shows, we’re going to try and keep up a decent pace, probably not 2 or 3 posts a day but there is a decent backlog of information that does need to get out, I’ll try to space it out so the content is as fresh as always.

The content for today’s show is serious at times, light hearted at others and takes a good chuck of time and devotes it to the Consumable portion of the episode. So many great stories its hard to find a place to put them all. Please be sure to check the tumblr feed, the stories which rock but don’t quite make it are always shuffled off the there right before the show deploys.

As always Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

By the Time this has been posted April Fools day will be almost over in the US, and take with it a bevy of silly and awesome pranks. I decided to give you a quick run down of the awesomeness that was, and tell a quick tale of my own. I’ll post in bold any Rick Rolls, I promise. Not know what a rick roll is? I posted on it once before, about a fine Gentleman recieveing the first ever In Real Life Rick Roll, but thats ancient history now. Now is the early spring day when people make merry, and some other complain. I look for victim less pranks here people.
