Basically creating a [...]

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.

Today's Show:  Joy, Lego, Mario, Carbon Fibre, Carbon Footprint, Gold, Green Tech, Gardens, Helicopters, Pools, Peeps, LEDs, Linux, Pacman, Japan Before I get down into the show I wanted to again mention how happy I am for my good friends Jimmy and Cathy. As they start their life together I wish them nothing but the best the world has to offer, but know that they already found that in each other. Today's show is all about things that make me happy, not really a few of my favorite things but definitely a stream of consciousness show pulled together from stories which struck my fancy, and intrigued me to know more. Sometimes its simply a headline, other times the whole concept spoke to me on some level. I really enjoy putting shows together like this so hopefully that comes through in the final take. So I ask you to come with me on this fun little adventure as we stroll through he gardens of tech jokes and the glades of  caffeinated dreams. A bit flowery of a description but hey its springtime.
