Semester is in full swing and the long weekend meant lots of fun with the family and work on the Lair. I love doing demolition work, give me something and tell me to wreck it and I'm a happy guy. The problem with owning a house is that its also your job to build it back up again. So several projects started and a ton of energy expended. At the end of the day i'm left with a big pile of junk I happily destroyed and a swath of destruction which now begs to be fixed. But neither here nor there, a thousand pardons for missing the past show but as you hear our weekend i hope you understand. We are gearing up for PodCamp Philly (http://www.podcampphilly.com) at work and lots of stuff is in motion. At the lair, or whats left of it we have a new resident in the lair itself. Iggy now lives next to the podstation so down here the studio the studio is teaming with life. Today's show has some love for beer, tea, coffee, college, specifics, and OS wars. How Much fun can we cram into one show. Why not stop by and see.

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.

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 (http://caffination.tumblr.com) 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!

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.

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.

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 (http://5for1.aws.sitepoint.com/), and tech companies are stretching to help, there is a worldwide search for clean drinking water (http://twestival.com/), 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.

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. ---------------------- Sponsor:  Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days!
