This week just feels off. I’m on vacation and I’m not nearly as connected to the internet Pulse as I usually am. Things are happening and I just don’t know about them. But you know what its very good to unplug once in a while. Stretch my legs out and wander around the real world for a while. Today’s show is a breath of fresh fun air into the CaffiNation Lair.

After taking some time off to start the recovery process we’re back in the saddle with a ton of fun stories gleaned from over the past week of waiting. Surgery went well, nothing but good news, now all that is left is to heal from the process. I’m not allowed to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk, so this episode is dedicated to my wife who is literally carrying the family right now.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Today was supposed to be a live show with some new concepts being put forth. I’m still toying with the idea of doing video, I’m just not sure how to incorporate it into the stream around here. Its never good when the IT Guy, the Computer Guru has to spend hours trying to fix his own machines. So this podcast was the fallback position after the live show didn’t pan out.

There are a ton of great stories and blurbs that made it into tonight’s show, and I’m thinking that we are going to reschedule the other special events after I have had some dry runs with the technology involved.

That being said the Adopt a NewB day still needs some tweaking. I have Ideas and it might extend beyond a holiday, but I’m asking all of you. What do you think of the concept?

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

The entire city is holding its collective breath right now… So I had to put off doing the show until after the exhale. One tired podcaster with a belly full of coffee gives you an earful of content. I hope you enjoy.
