This week we are going all CaffiNation Klassic on you. Its just me as Steve the wonder-cohost is on vacation. So Its all me all the time. I’m here and I’m a bit angry about some things. Lets see if it turns into a fun little rant, because hey that’s just what I do best. In fact i have a rare treat for you. Because of a wonderful recording error yesterday I have 3 rants all lined up for you at the front of the show. So you get 3 times as much bluster for the low low price of one download. I’ll be here all week try the veal

We have a preponderance of Zombie related information to pass along, a sign of the times or are zombies just that cool? We I have a wonderful little look into the world of conspiracy theories, because without black helicopters and mind controlling public water supplies how else would we live in this mixed up world.

Kids toys need to be two things to pass muster, durable and quiet. These blocks look mighty quite unless there is a hidden compartment for batteries I’m missing, and they also fulfill the hidden third category of an educational plus. The only real question i would have is about durability. can the water compartments take a three year old with a good arm?

I love the simplicity of the design and the classic shapes. they hit all of the right buzz words of the day. Made from sustainable rubberwood, in Thailand. Its not so much that Thailand is an advantageous place t do business but its not china, which has a whole ton of bad press about kids toys and disregard for product safety.

I’m almost tempted to buy them for school as they perfectly illustrate additive color theory. However at $39.99 I think they will be a wonderful example from afar. 6 blocks for 40 dollars breaks down to just over $6.67 per block, and that’s might pricey.
