The lair is in shambles… still. I need to get in gear and finish the jobs on the main part of the house before things get out of hand. Besides that things are going well as can be around here, we have a ton of great content to try and force upon you this evening, hopefully. We cover a wide range of topics, including me trying to convince you to come to Podcamp Philly for one last time this year. We touch on some favorites like legos, nintendo, Cake, Coffee, inventions, Tetris and pancakes. All in all its a very full show, hope you’re hungry.

Registration for Podcamp Philly Continues. We’re really excited to bring the event back to Temple University on October 3rd and 4th. Hopefully I’ll see you there! Are you wondering why you should go to a Podcamp?

Enjoy the show!

So apologies are in order if you listened to the last show you know by now that we had some minor to major issues with the audio skipping pretty much throughout the episode. I’ll explain what happened and why so you don’t fall into the same trap I did. But all that Aside we’re gearing up for Podcamp Philly 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 is on. We’re really excited to bring the event to Temple University on October 3rd and 4th. Hopefully I’ll see you there! Are you wondering why you should go to a Podcamp?

Enjoy the show!

This past weekend has been awesome. we’re getting things done left and right in the lair, nevermind that much like a mythical hydra when one thing is completed 2 more spring to fill it s place. Every-time i open a wall, move a light or do anything to this house I’m st5unned by what I see. Tonights show is a testament to procrastination. and forethought all wrapped up in one bundle. We’re going to be looking at ways to make the show sound even better so please let us know if you hear a difference in the quality.
