Crufty Claus is Coming to town bringing lego sets and coffee for all

The Holiday season marches on. This weekend was a catch your breath session complete with a lovely visit to Longwood Gardens, and the first snowfall fo the year. Lucky for me that did not include shoveling the first snowfall as rain took care of that for us.

Tonights show is a fun mess, we have holiday blips, real news and general cruft all thrown into the same show. From the fruit to booze, coffee to sledding we have you covered for the holidays.

Tonight we’re running on one engine and trying to bring the plane down safely this metaphor might not land at the right airport or even the correct city but by golly we’re gonna try. So I suffer from migraines from time to time. I’ve been through most medical treatments out there some work, others not so much. Mostly a ton of the latter and not to many of the former. They tend to come on stronger when I’m under stress, not saying things are stressful but just making conversation.Tonight’s show is overshadowed by one such migraine and my standard fix just isn’t working.

Despite working under a cloud, or fog as the case may be we managed to find some rather awesome and tasty links to share with the group. From Food tech to Lego Letter, Adobe and Apple to Hulu and the Wii, lots of tech, some fun flavors and as always great caffeinated links.

Enjoy the show!
