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:  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!

Today's Show:  robots, gardens, NES, Pacman, Dragon, turntables, GE, Math, Pi, Coffee, Scanwhiches, Sushi, review, TP Tonight's episode was almost labeled The Wasteful because of the huge number of leftovers after this show was created. I simply could not cram any more awesome into the time slotted. While the podcast could theoretically go on forever we had to draw the line somewhere, and that line was here. Instead I decided to break it down into the two most represented categories R and R is Retro and Robots, a metric ton of awesome in each subcat. Caffeinated all the way in today's show we speak of coffee as fuel for your car, fuel for your mind, and robots which tend gardens. We discuss the finery of Pacman, the majesty of Zork and the horror of modern advertising which is so cool you can't avert your eyes. This Episode also could have been called the Birthday Super Throwdown Edition. Happy birthday to My father in Law, My Father and My Sister! So Please Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
