No Work and All Play makes Paul a Tired Guy

So the dual shot of approximately 45 inches of snow since the last broadcast has both drained my energy reserves from shoveling it and charged my batteries. The past couple of winters in good old Philadelphia have been lackluster warm and rainy events. I love snow and i love the cold so i’v been in a very tired heaven this year. This is also not the officially snowiest winter in Philadelphia history with over 60 inches of snowfall since December. Wow!

I played around with some new crufted together camera gear for a dog cam, linked on ustream, and played with some other settings on ustream to spice up the show. Norbert and I even tried to work on a cohosting thing yesterday to no avail. it will all work out in the end no worries.

Tonights bit of snowy awesomeness covers robots, design principles, retro game cakes and coffee best practices, and new wave building materials.

So this week is going to be crazy. Its a short week for me in work and out. Listen in to get a general idea of whats going to happen to the show over the next week or so. Things are going to be a bit up in the air so we’re trying to keep the episodes short and sweet. Hence the title, not only did i not want to take the time to spell out the whole word but its also a perl function/library, which makes it geeky too!

Today’s show comes with Homework. I’m always surprised when I speak with people who don’t know what TED is. So today’s show has two of the most stunning presentations I’ve seen from TED, you are required to watch them… no excuses, there will be a test.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
