Create-Your-Own Mug

Not sure when this came out but I love the idea. Starbucks has debuted a larger mug with a special coating on it. This coating, when written on with the included pen and baked in an oven becomes permanently marked with your words of wisdom, inspirational doodle or hilarious missive. And honestly $14.95 for a 16oz mug, [...]

A word of warning… Coarse and Hilarious Language. Soldiers give up a lot to defend their country but does it have to be coffee? I think not.

CaffiNation 467: Janus

Janus, the Roman god most commonly found on coinage has the unique ability among that pantheon of looking both backwards and forwards. Probably the same sentiment expressed by the common idiom, "You have to know where you've been to know where you're going." It is in his honor that we offer up this episode to you. Janus is also the root word for January, see where this is headed? Of course you do! Each one of you is as smart and beautiful as they come, mainly because you listen to this show. This show will turn 5 years old on January 9th 2011. I've been blogging a good deal longer than that in one form or another. The site and the idea were going to be a webcomic, but I can't draw, and I'm not really all that funny... So I decided my two passions of geekery and coffee needed a home and the CaffiNation was born. I even delayed doing the first show a couple of months until I had a good intro music. Tonight's show is going to look back at this past year and pull some of my favorite pieces out. While at the same time giving you a glimpse into what we are thinking for the future.

So tonight we hit a lot of notes from this past week. Wikileaks was huge news and I give my opinion and note a couple of places you can find more information. And trust me information is good. The reasons people hide it are the interesting bits. And since we have been hitting the hard topics a bit often of late there is plenty to lighten the mood after that from hilarious video to creepy science. Hopefully you will enjoy the show I have cooked up for you.
