You can’t record if you’re not awake
On a nice cool Wednesday Night I sat down to write a bit of a blog post, move some stories around, i have over an hour and a half till showtime so i put my feet up. I then wake up over an hour and a half AFTER the scheduled time… A quick check online and a suggestion from Norbert and i head off to bed to try again on the morrow…
By the By episode 430 must have been so nice I named it twice. the whole recording of this show I referred to 431 as 430, but it isn’t its really 431, stay with me here. Terribly Sorry about that.
This is that morrow, and the show has only grown since then. More Stories some apologies and more awesome. Sit down, perk up and grab a mug of your favorite roast. We’re going full steam, a bit of froth maybe a dash of cinnamon. I’m planning on a great show lets see how it ends up together.
We’re Talking about Star Wars Coffee, Beer, Legos, Tetris, Politics, Physics, Wine, and the wide open sea.

After taking some time off to start the recovery process we’re back in the saddle with a ton of fun stories gleaned from over the past week of waiting. Surgery went well, nothing but good news, now all that is left is to heal from the process. I’m not allowed to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk, so this episode is dedicated to my wife who is literally carrying the family right now.
Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Today was supposed to be a live show with some new concepts being put forth. I’m still toying with the idea of doing video, I’m just not sure how to incorporate it into the stream around here. Its never good when the IT Guy, the Computer Guru has to spend hours trying to fix his own machines. So this podcast was the fallback position after the live show didn’t pan out.
There are a ton of great stories and blurbs that made it into tonight’s show, and I’m thinking that we are going to reschedule the other special events after I have had some dry runs with the technology involved.
That being said the Adopt a NewB day still needs some tweaking. I have Ideas and it might extend beyond a holiday, but I’m asking all of you. What do you think of the concept?
Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Tons of content, but not much energy. Having a down cycle with caffeine right now but i will bring the news and fun to you just as quick, but maybe not so loud. The news was wide reaching this half of the week with interesting tech coming out of unlikely marriages, GM and Segway? We answer the question, Do 3D desktops make sense? AP is biting the hand that feeds them and Linux starts an interesting ad campaign.
All these stories and more. We’re continuing our Adopt a NewB Day celebration with More blog design guides and quick tips for blogging, living digitally and managing your online presence.
Happy Passover to all who are Celebrating!
Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Today’s Show: Pranks, Jokes, Scam, Virii, Silliness, Nonsense, Legos, Magic, Sentient Computers, Bacon, Bigfoot
April Fools…
It had to be said, but today is a day dedicated to nonsense and all of its silly little ilk. I love April Fools day, not just because of what it represents, but also because a truly good prank takes dedication, hard work and a sense of style. its easy to be mean, and funny. Its even easy to set up prat falls and slapstick, in theory but a truly great prank takes epic effort. Today we salute some which come close, some which fail and some which aren’t pranks at all but sure seem like it. Its an action packed episode from front to back so I hope that you enjoy.
Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Today’s Show: Java, Coffee, Legos, Steampunk, Fuel Cells, Pacman, Sheep, Beer, soap, and Copycats
There is just so much awesome news to spread around, times like these make you wish you could pause the internet to even the content out over the course of a year. Not only is the Back Channel of the CaffiNation full of new and fun content, but we had to bring back the Quick Hits Section. What is that? Well we have previously had a section dedicated to short rapid fire news blips that I felt needed to be shared but not dwelt upon. Seriously if I gave every story the time and respect they all deserve we could be here a while… And no one really wants that this show is all about a ton of content crammed into a sardine can of a space. Every show you get a 5 pound cat delivered in a 3 pound box.
On tonight’s show we have an update with a better source from last show’s robo fish story, now it actually makes sense! We also have a couple reminders on what software needs upgrading on your home pc, a great new tech show to listen in on and a ton of crazy content all over. Along with crazy tales of how The land speed record might be broken by steam punks, things to scare your children and friends, a Mammoth lego story and Coffee news and tidbits bringing up the rear. Packed show, which is why its called the Crammed Edition, the Ijustcan’tfitanythingelse edition was a bit overkill. As always Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Today’s Show: writing, Irish coffee, power, coasters, oragami, robots, legos, solar power, geeks, nerds, dorks, Cake, Coffee
Gadgets are fun, in fact there are more websites dedicated to tiny little technological trinkets than you could shake a stick at, or several sticks if the mood struck you. Gadgets are small little baubles that make eyes light up and wallets open, a selection of small links with big fun is what is in store for today. Tight economic times call for frugal spending, but who couldn’t resits just one more shiny object.
Every show we focus on ways to save you money, in this case we are outing the plain silly products, while focusing on some winners along the way. I also give a quick rundown on how to streamline your writing for the web, make a new version of an old favorite hot toddy, and showcase a couple fun DIY projects.
So Please Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Today’s Show: TOS, facebook, PirateBay, Privacy, Passwords, legos, pixels, king kong, salt and pepper, tea, and coffee
Well I have a full complement of hands once more. typing is a joy, well at least for now. Still working the kinks out of the systems but it feels good to be able to put ideas to paper once more. I can’t wait to share the ideas I’ve been kicking around for the last month. We have a ton of new content on deck i just need to flesh it out and give it life so to speak. The Robot Overlord Appeasement poster is going to rock, the Tech in Tough times articles are shaping up as well. But thats all in the future, today’s show has a host of great links to lego goodness, some fun kerfuffle concerning TOS and the facebook flack, and a ton more content covering all the stuff listed above and more.
I would like to say that even though the Facebook story takes up a good deal of physical space on the post it does not in fact use anywhere near that amount of time in the show. I just wanted to make sure i was able to share all of the great content that was pushed out in reference. While the story is old, lessons can still be learned from the issues it raised.
Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated ~!

Today’s Show: Wildfires, Twestival, Fat, Vampires, Legos, robots,lasers, vodka,food, indulgence, charity
Times are tough which goes without saying. I hope that a couple of the links i have in today’s show can help some people out. There are wildfires in Australia, and tech companies are stretching to help, there is a worldwide search for clean drinking water, again Techs are trying to help. And there are many stories of talented people all over having trouble finding work. We highlight one such fantastic artist.
But all the serious stories need a bit of a counterpoint. The Apocalypse is a popular theme with some of the stories floating around the net. How would you like to go? Robots, Zombies, Vampires maybe? We have you covered either way. That coupled with some of tastiest and nastiest food sights, and sites out there. Join us for a great episode packed with a ton of good stuff, funny links and Legos… who could ask for anything more!

Today’s Show: Tim Hortons, Cold Stone, Bento, Road signs, ACME, Ray guns, guitars, Legos, Star trek, Twitter Tales of Customer Service
After yet another way too quick weekend we find ourselves staring down the barrel of a work week. What better way to kick things off then with a Valentine’s Week Warm up. Not some mushy, heart to heart talk with you the audience but rather just dealing exclusively in stories I know you’ll love. Cheesy? Yes! True? Also yes.
Today’s show has a couple of smaller themes within and a good balance between the caffeinated geeky sides to the coin. Fidelity makes a strong case for a resurgence of vinyl, a better way to listen and better ways to consume tech in general, Stick around for the caffeinated times as well, were we discuss a brand merger in the caffeinated world some gripes over starbucks, gift cards, and some interesting products all around. As you can see its going to be a great show, So i hope you enjoy!
I also make another plea to review the Kindle hands on, because there is no way I’m going to be able to drop that type of coin so a gadget I haven’t seen. Hey it worked for Stephen Colbert with the iPhone, Amazon… I’d like a Kindel.
