While this time of year is usually spent covered in materialism please remember to keep everything in perspective and sometime just you is gift enough. That aside lets ogle some spiffy gadgets, not necessarily buy. But think of this show as window shopping in the geekiest of places. We take a look at some spiffy things coming down the chimney, hear tales of a mythical Lego menorah and stare in wonderment at the bounty of links in front of us. I hope you enjoy today's episode. Try to join in on the live chat next Wednesday as well! Stay tuned to twitter to find out the time. As live shows go this one was rather nice, only problem was that i droned on much more than i wanted to. You can always watch the live version (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2698132) for the unedited CaffiNation, complete with pretty pictures, i marked all the stories removed from the show and put them in a separate section as an FYI, but they live on in the live version.

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.

But all that Aside we're gearing up for Podcamp Philly (http://www.podcampphilly.com/) and I'll have some fun downloads in the coming week for you to see before people at the event do. I'm making some surprises that I hope will go over well. This show has lots of lego love, a great web-comic i just re discovered and a ton of Coffee Geekery to go around. We discuss the seriousness of Net Neutrality, the lighthearted Robot Foozeball, the heretical nature of the Beatles and the sacrosanct nature of good coffee in Seattle. Its a tall order for a short format show, but I think we covered good ground. The push for Podcamp Philly (http://www.podcampphilly.com) is on.

So the next few weeks will be very well caffeinated. I also lied when i said i would never again record during the day, as I sit here and attempt to do it once more. Its been an odd week. There are so many stories on today's show i don't have time to write snark. And thats saying something. I barely managed a pun or two. For some reason the bad jokes were writing themselves today.

For this special offer visit www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts (http://www.gotomeeting.com/techpodcasts) --- This was one busy holiday weekend here at the lair, and beyond. The birth of a nation was celebrated by everyone in the USA, and there were cookouts and fireworks all around. We spent the day away from the lair and the weekend slowly caught up to me on Sunday evening I was unable to rock out a good show. Fell asleep even trying. So luckily I took today off to be with my son and am attempting to record a show while he's napping. Still caffeinated, just trying to be quite. Of course the best laid plans never seem to work out so the boy woke up, the neighborhood erupted in noise and the dog and the cats staged world war three under my feet, so the result is a heavy edited show, and a promise to once again move back into the night where i belong.

If you've been listening to the show for any length of time you probably know that i'm a fan of an open carrier / content neutral internet. My packet isn't any more important than yours everyone has to wait in line. Some days its hard to put into words exactly how i feel but basically Censorship breeds even worse horrors by pushing them under the rug. Information wants to be free. But i also don't like it when people climb up on their soapboxes and preach to the heavens, we have a couple articles pointing to some of the real danger zones of policy floating about right now. But we like to cut the drug with funny stories designed to break up the nasty. Because while we all want to save the trees no one wants to feel guilty all the time.

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.

Today's Show:  Lego, Design, Color Theory, Adopt a Newb Day, Jobs, robots, photoshop, Mario, nesting dolls, energy drinks, sugar Tonight's show is shortened because I'm pretty sure everyone was outside enjoying the weekend. At least were the CaffiNation makes its lair, in Sunny Philadelphia. The family unplugged as a whole and took the city by storm, so everyone here is just plain plumb tuckered out. Tonight's show takes only the best content and the funniest links from my travels the past couple of days online. Consider this a small sampling of the awesomeness available. But we do have a ton of great little design tips and applications. We are taking this opportunity to announce Adopt a Newb Day 2009, a day dedicated to the idea of giving a little tech love to those less all knowing than you.  More to come in the next couple of days about this holiday and as always check back for some interesting articles on tap this week as well.

Today's Show:  Weather, Lego, Silly Putty, Coffee, Kindle 2, Retro, Steampunk, Geneva Convention, Yerba Mate, Popcorn, Weddings, and Cancer This show has some absolutely great content from pressing issues on the Internet as a whole to some fun new designs working on old problems. One thing that always gets me is when people put enough effort into a product or a design and just miss the finishing touches, the small bits of finish that really set aside a good piece from a great piece, unfortunately we have a couple of those examples as well. Over all this is a strong show with content from a wide variety of topics and sources and I hope that the Title and the content on the episode really explore the duality of living online. You are both virtual and real at the same point as some of the stories I found are old and new, polar opposites in one combination or just a perfect match. The entire day around the Caffination Lair has felt like it was waiting for something exciting and something fun, I'd like to welcome you to that exciting and Fun event right now.

Since we have returned to writing articles there is plenty of fodder for commentary in the shows, we're going to try and keep up a decent pace, probably not 2 or 3 posts a day but there is a decent backlog of information that does need to get out, I'll try to space it out so the content is as fresh as always. The content for today's show is serious at times, light hearted at others and takes a good chuck of time and devotes it to the Consumable portion of the episode. So many great stories its hard to find a place to put them all. Please be sure to check the tumblr feed, the stories which rock but don't quite make it are always shuffled off the there right before the show deploys. As always Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

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.
