Out of energy, Odd Weekend, and So much more to tell

All things considered this should be a Mea Culpa edition of the Podcast. Its probably going to run short because i can’t talk too long, but i did this to myself, well Bud Selig, and My internal body clock conspired against me.

Beyond the lingering affects, or foreshadow, I can’t decide which. We culled the topics down to a more manageable level. I’ll try to talk a bit more on some of the fun that comes across the desk but the next show is going to be chock full of rapid fired content.

So I took the plunge in work and at home and upgraded to windows 7 for two very different reasons. In work I need to test the software students might come in with, and our design application had a notoriously bad time prepping versions for Vista. So this time around i wanted to do a blanket test to see what might happen to the different high end applications we run. At home the machine was in dire need of a refresh. And this staved off the inevitable for now. I’m working on a post to cover what happened but overall I’m impressed in a way I was nto expecting to be.

All of that being said This episode has some scary fun stuff in preparation for Halloween. The usual assortment of costume and pumpkin articles are coupled with some awesome DIY Ideas. Enjoy the feast.

I had an awesome time doing TPN Weekly at the start of this past week.

Back to a sense of normalcy around here, so naturally some changes are brewing. For NaNoWriMo, national novel writing month, I’m going to be releasing a new podcast as a form of first draft audio book. We’ll see how it goes. Looking for feedback on it and the first chapter should go live this week. In other news I have been working on a new logo for the CaffiNation Podcast and i think we have a winner, as it should be the album art for today’s show, and most shows going forward. Not changing the site too much yet but i’m looking for feedback here as well.
