Its been a rough up and down type of week after a wonderful weekend. Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes, and support. This past weekend I got to meet a twitter friend and discuss the organic nature of the service. I got to have plenty of Coffee and Creme Stout from a local brewery, and i got to spend plenty of time with friends and family. Being that the weekend was as Tech Free as it was, diving back into tech, writing, and podcasting this week has been quite fruitful indeed.

Tonight we’re going to dive back into the fun post apocalyptic world of Zombie killing, Enjoy some good coffee and discuss the finer points of tech communication and responses. So it should be a great episode, hopefully you’ll enjoy what we’re serving today.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

 Tattooing is a very old art form, the Ice Man Ötzi, had 57 tattoos and this Ice age rocker was alive 5300 years ago, give or take a year. I’m pretty sure Ötzi never could have imagined that all this time later tattooing could be on the cusp of a paradigm leap forward. How does Digital Tattooing sound to you?
