Our family suffered a loss, my grandmother passed this Saturday. Despite the fact that we knew this wasn't far off, it doesn't hurt any less. As our family deals with this I only ask you to hug those close to you just a little bit tighter. Loss is never an easy thing to share, nor explain. While I dedicate this episode to my Nana's memory, i can't help but feel that its a small tribute. I struggled thinking about whether it was appropriate to do something like this but basically came to the conclusion that the only way to honor those no longer here is to keep doing what you do, but trying to do it just a little bit better.

Productive Fun in the Lair Sponsor: Try GotoMeeting free for 30 days!

So today's Caffination is suffering from the good kind of tired where you know you've drained your batteries, but enjoyed doing so. There is both good news and bad news for today's show however. The good news is the new dog does not like coffee, the bad news thats pretty much all the coffee news I have for the show. So this episode will lean a bit heavily on the tech side of things.It seems that a good deal of the country was out doing things these past couple of days as the overall volume of substantial news was down. We'll be covering some current events and how they affected the tech world, Michael Jackson's passing, Iran and twitter. Silly people and conclusions, you name it we'll touch on it. But we also have plenty of time for a bit of silly news and products that happen to have made their way to my inbox as well. The CaffiNation is also very proud to take part in the Summer of Podcasts Contest (http://www.podcastmadness.com/), and we'll be giving you the rundown on what that means in the lead into the show today.

We also look at lawnmowers, peek and Windows 7 and see whats trending in the world of Caffeine.

Today's Show:  Java, Coffee, Legos, Steampunk, Fuel Cells, Pacman, Sheep, Beer, soap, and Copycats There is just so much awesome news to spread around, times like these make you wish you could pause the internet to even the content out over the course of a year. Not only is the Back Channel of the CaffiNation (http://caffination.tumblr.com) full of new and fun content, but we had to bring back the Quick Hits Section. What is that? Well we have previously had a section dedicated to short rapid fire news blips that I felt needed to be shared but not dwelt upon. Seriously if I gave every story the time and respect they all deserve we could be here a while... And no one really wants that this show is all about a ton of content crammed into a sardine can of a space. Every show you get a 5 pound cat delivered in a 3 pound box. On tonight's show we have an update with a better source from last show's robo fish story, now it actually makes sense! We also have a couple reminders on what software needs upgrading on your home pc, a great new tech show to listen in on and a ton of crazy content all over. Along with crazy tales of how The land speed record might be broken by steam punks, things to scare your children and friends, a Mammoth lego story and Coffee news and tidbits bringing up the rear. Packed show, which is why its called the Crammed Edition, the Ijustcan'tfitanythingelse edition was a bit overkill. As always Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

I have a list of awesome website with hilarious and intriguing content we're going to go over. What would a Caffination pre St Patty's day episode be without an Irish Coffee Recipe and explanation. I'll be putting my own derivation of the Irish coffee recipe out later later this week. Not too much different but I found it tastes a bit better. To top it off we have a metric ton of other content to fill your ears and spice up your dreams.

Today's Show:  Weather, Lego, Silly Putty, Coffee, Kindle 2, Retro, Steampunk, Geneva Convention, Yerba Mate, Popcorn, Weddings, and Cancer This show has some absolutely great content from pressing issues on the Internet as a whole to some fun new designs working on old problems. One thing that always gets me is when people put enough effort into a product or a design and just miss the finishing touches, the small bits of finish that really set aside a good piece from a great piece, unfortunately we have a couple of those examples as well. Over all this is a strong show with content from a wide variety of topics and sources and I hope that the Title and the content on the episode really explore the duality of living online. You are both virtual and real at the same point as some of the stories I found are old and new, polar opposites in one combination or just a perfect match. The entire day around the Caffination Lair has felt like it was waiting for something exciting and something fun, I'd like to welcome you to that exciting and Fun event right now.
