THIS… IS… CAFFINATION…

Today’s Show: Looking Back, History, Contests, Giveaways, wookies, star wars, TV, Cookies, Coffee, Audacity, Zombies, Legos, Monkeys, Toast and so much more

Hello all and welcome to episode 300 of the venerable CaffiNation Podcast. Tonight i decided to mix some things up to give you a taste of history a bit of geeky news and then a look back at some of the highlights you may have not seen. We also announce the contest for the 3 in 3 event. 300 episodes in 3 years… January 9th 2006, i uttered those now, still not really all that famous words. “Hi and welcome to the CaffiNation podcast” Three years and three hundred episodes later we’re still going strong things have changed a bit, hosts have moved and the archives grow fat with their bounty of entertainment.

I truly love giving this show to you each week and I only ever ask that you enjoy the content and if the mood strikes you drop me a line in return. I love connecting with listeners.

Before this tangent runs on too long I’ll just simply say. Thank you once agin for all the attention that has been paid and the feedback that has been given.

Enjoy the Episode!

A show in honor of Legos. I love the idea behind the lego concept. Make anything out of small simple parts. The mindstorms are a boon for inventors everywhere but it doesn’t end there. These iconic childs toys are loved by people everywhere young and old. I have been inundated with lego stories lately so i decided to dedicate as much of a show as i could to the topic. I was stunned by the response and believe me the stories won’t stop here. There is enough other content on both sides of the coin to keep the show fresh.

Its been a long weekend of projects around the lair. Some completed without issue, most take issue with me attempting to complete them. This episode is full to the brim of crazy coffee news, awesome robotic feats and nifty gadgets to fill out your day.

New to you: Rick Roll’d, IRL, Toast, Apple, and Mixers

There was extra news in spades today as we we’re inundated with awesomeness covering a very wide spectrum. I did my best to condense some of the more interesting articles into the actual show, but as always the best doesn’t always fit into 35 minutes. Read after the jump for the goodies in store for you tonight. Read the rest of this entry »

In the future I’ll just shorten the title to DMTC then the episode number. The idea is that I find so many fantastic stories that I can no longer fit them in the Show, especially given that I’m trying to trim the footprint of the show down to a more manageable 30 – 35 minutes as opposed to 45-50 like we had been doing. Trimming the extra 10 minutes off my show somehow created an extra 30 minutes of time to spend with my family for the last show… so go figure.

On Today’s DMTC you’ll see information about Solar and Wind Power, IVF conception, Toast, and Bar Tabs 

Let me know what you think of the format.  Stories After the Jump. Read the rest of this entry »
