We’re all here because we’re not all there tonight!

I sponsored this one myself

Tonight’s show is a dress rehearsal for next week. There is some serious bidness that need to be taken care of and tonight we make the coffee vodka for next week! I unviel the new official caffination coffee vodka infusion method. We also have a ton of great content that quite simply needs to be discussed just because it is all awesome.

We lost a sponsor, but we still have room for more people who want to comment on show 500, send us audio or written commentary for the episode and I’ll play it on the next show. Tonight we hit all the high notes, retro fun, coffee, alcohol, what is there not to love?

Tonight and life took an unexpected turn, but as luck would have it we found a stand in for steve, this one doesn’t add much to the equation but it sure does make focusing the camera for two people a bit easier. The show is a hodgepodge of all of the different awesome things from the net this past week.

So a new semester started at TU yesterday, new students, new computers and new virii. But the really big problem is the type of virii the students are bringing in these days. Downright insidious. You see now the attempt to mimic old arcade games. Currently they are attacking the city. as shown below. Beware people, there is no know cure.

Tonights show is a cobbled together bit of fun from the wilds of the internet. Space, Privacy, Aliens, Robots and Coffee are all big. So we talk about a bit from each of those categories as well as a few select nuggets from beyond those as well.

I know I’ve put a moratorium on new mugs in the house, but i might have to either break the moratorium or snap a couple of mugs. These new offerings from Thinkgeek are pretty dang awesome. Take the power of retro and the cool factor of the temperature sensitive paint and you get one spiffy mug. Space Invaders or Pacman flavors are available, for $7.99 each. I’m definitely a PacMan guy myself so this mug might end up in  Sop now i just need to find out which one of the current soldiers is getting retired.

Today’s Show:  Lego, Productivity Applications, OS, Ski, Space invaders, Retro Gaming, Erector Sets, Chemistry, Star Wars, Compost, Coffee, Gingerbread, Caffeine, Beer, Robots

Today’s show is all about nonsense, as you can tell from the title, meaning there is simply no rhyme reason or discernible pattern in the way this thing is laid out. usually some pattern emerges from the static, today we had a jumble of awesome news that never quite got off the ground as a cohesive unit. I still think the show holds up quite well as a whole But I’ll let you decide on the rest.

As Wonka said in the movie, “A Little Nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest Men” The serious stories would not strike the nerves without the flying toaster to offset them, the wondrous advances in science would be nowhere without the obligatory Roomba post to showcase the absurdity of it all. There have been quite a few CaffiNation Nonsense editions, and probably a bunch more could easily have fit in that very same vein. But enjoy the absurd and relish the strange.

As always Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
