Follow along with us as we talk about: Zoos, Art, Social Tagging, History, Robots, Fish, Coffee, beer

Living in Philadelphia you are constantly surrounded by history, some times you have to look for it other times it is celebrated right in front of you. Its been a great Week here at the CaffiNation HQ, where the family visited the Philly Zoo for their 150th Anniversary, I reported on some fun technology being showcased with The Philadelphia  Museum of Art and we have tons of news both old and new to share with you.

We have stories from the Lego Art world, about robots who swim, and Coffee for eternity. As always please pardon any attempts at humor. The mix on tonight’s show is a pleasant blend of old and new with a dash of nutty fun thrown in. So Please Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Today’s Show: Looking Back, History, Contests, Giveaways, wookies, star wars, TV, Cookies, Coffee, Audacity, Zombies, Legos, Monkeys, Toast and so much more

Hello all and welcome to episode 300 of the venerable CaffiNation Podcast. Tonight i decided to mix some things up to give you a taste of history a bit of geeky news and then a look back at some of the highlights you may have not seen. We also announce the contest for the 3 in 3 event. 300 episodes in 3 years… January 9th 2006, i uttered those now, still not really all that famous words. “Hi and welcome to the CaffiNation podcast” Three years and three hundred episodes later we’re still going strong things have changed a bit, hosts have moved and the archives grow fat with their bounty of entertainment.

I truly love giving this show to you each week and I only ever ask that you enjoy the content and if the mood strikes you drop me a line in return. I love connecting with listeners.

Before this tangent runs on too long I’ll just simply say. Thank you once agin for all the attention that has been paid and the feedback that has been given.

Enjoy the Episode!

Today’s Show: New Year, Lego, Mars, history, coffee, hedgehogs, apple, coffee, and fun

Hello all and welcome to 2009. I expect your looking for a list of goals, small and large for the show, myself or anything else coming on the first show of the year./ but The only resolution I’m worried about is turning in good shows and making your commute as entertaining and enlightening as possible. These shows are a labor of love and i can only say that almost three years after I started down this road I still get excited when its time to start talking to you all.

The next show will be episode 300, and will air shortly after the 3rd anniversary of the podcast. I’m not sure what i will be doing to celebrate the anniversary but it will most certainly include coffee, and you!

We have a couple of really exciting things coming up, reviews and articles lined up to be written, and products waiting with baited breath to be talked about, join us as we head into the next year, and thank you for spending the time with us that you do.

Enjoy the Episode!
