While this time of year is usually spent covered in materialism please remember to keep everything in perspective and sometime just you is gift enough. That aside lets ogle some spiffy gadgets, not necessarily buy. But think of this show as window shopping in the geekiest of places. We take a look at some spiffy things coming down the chimney, hear tales of a mythical Lego menorah and stare in wonderment at the bounty of links in front of us. I hope you enjoy today's episode. Try to join in on the live chat next Wednesday as well! Stay tuned to twitter to find out the time. As live shows go this one was rather nice, only problem was that i droned on much more than i wanted to. You can always watch the live version (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/2698132) for the unedited CaffiNation, complete with pretty pictures, i marked all the stories removed from the show and put them in a separate section as an FYI, but they live on in the live version.
