Our family suffered a loss, my grandmother passed this Saturday. Despite the fact that we knew this wasn't far off, it doesn't hurt any less. As our family deals with this I only ask you to hug those close to you just a little bit tighter. Loss is never an easy thing to share, nor explain. While I dedicate this episode to my Nana's memory, i can't help but feel that its a small tribute. I struggled thinking about whether it was appropriate to do something like this but basically came to the conclusion that the only way to honor those no longer here is to keep doing what you do, but trying to do it just a little bit better.

Productive Fun in the Lair Sponsor: Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days! For this special offer visit www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts (http://www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts) --- As a family we found ourselves with a rare free weekend and enjoyed the heck out of it. So today's Caffination is suffering from the good kind of tired where you know you've drained your batteries, but enjoyed doing so. There is both good news and bad news for today's show however. The good news is the new dog does not like coffee, the bad news thats pretty much all the coffee news I have for the show. So this episode will lean a bit heavily on the tech side of things.It seems that a good deal of the country was out doing things these past couple of days as the overall volume of substantial news was down. We'll be covering some current events and how they affected the tech world, Michael Jackson's passing, Iran and twitter. Silly people and conclusions, you name it we'll touch on it. But we also have plenty of time for a bit of silly news and products that happen to have made their way to my inbox as well. The CaffiNation is also very proud to take part in the Summer of Podcasts Contest (http://www.podcastmadness.com/), and we'll be giving you the rundown on what that means in the lead into the show today.
