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!

So I sit here looking for a bit more energy this being the first week back to work and a heavy workload to boot. I honestly should be asleep planning lab implementation strategies or something but I wanted to bring this episode to you fine listeners out there.

We are hitting the coffee trail hard this week with a couple neat product reviews and better videos coming down the pike. Tonight’s show is laden with LEGO, no matter how you pluralize it. We’re heavy with Steampunk and Caffeinated beyond reason. So hopefully you’ll enjoy our effort to entertain and enlighten, educate and amuse.

A Huge thank you to Norbert Davis of the Totally Cool Tech Podcast, he provided us with a metric ton of lego stories today. make sure you stop on by his show listen to his dulcet tones and marvel at the gadgety goodies he talks about. Check out his Google Sketchup rundown.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

I slacked off in putting the show together in a timely manner now I’m paying for it. I had a good deal of the research done in drabs and drabs only to drop the ball. The entire city is once again electric with Playoff atmosphere and it just might do some collective good for our frail psyche.

Go Eagles!

BTW check out the Eagles FanCast for a true sports podcast, great guys

Today’s show takes its name from 302, being involuntarily committed, while i might be crazy I’m not quite there yet. And apparently caffeine of a certain level can induce hallucinations… who knew. Now if you’ll excuse me Abraham Lincoln and I have to migrate some servers.
