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.

This time of the year my sleeping habits always catch up to me. Staying home with the boy was rewarding and exhausting but also put me here. But like scarlet O'Hara I always depend on the kindness of strangers, over half the links in today's show were sent in by listeners, which didn't even know how rough this weekend was.

I love what  do and I can only hope the episodes have been worth the fun. I'm starting to hone my workflow even more and I might just do a Making of The CaffiNation shortly. Let me know what anyone thinks of that. Might be another live show in the works too. Testing the waters. Speaking of waters I have been inundated with questions about how to make better coffee, what type of machine to buy ect. On today's show i have a couple different tips for these questions, and I'll be adding my own thoughts in as we go through them. I might also try my hand at writing a bit of a how to guide in the future, but not sure about it yet. A Long show with a ton of content and a bit of gab in between.
