Some days you just can’t do it. you can’t pull your scattered thoughts into a seemingly sensible format for a talk show. Today is one of those days but I have an excuse, you see my coffee pot broke this morning… Now don’t start wailing and nashing your teeth yet i have plenty of coffee creation methods at hand but my recent love of the Press Pot coffee had me in a very foul humor after the glass broke.

So that nonsense aside and a wonderful weekend with the family behind me i turn now to the task at hand giving you some semblance of an episode to entertain you on your travels about thew front half of the week. An Existential masterpiece of an episode from a producer who just doesn’t feel all there right now.

A belated congrats to Jeffery Powers of the Geekazine Podcast for hitting show number 100 this past week! Keep up the good work!

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

It seems that my entry into the BotJunkie Collective Noun contest was one of the three finalist. I shall vigorously defend my collective noun as the one true choice. A rossum of robots was chosen for its alliterative possibilities, and its historical context.

Today’s show has a ton of great content stretching from Russian UFO’s to Green tech in Fed Ex. We cover a nifty product sent into the podcast to review as well as a couple other finer articles and points in caffeinated living. Some shows are fueled by caffeine, some only scrape their way out the door because of it. This show is one of those. The network was down for a couple hours the pets are staging a full on revolt and its a dark and stormy night… Snoopy is no where to be found

The CaffiNation is also very proud to take part in the Summer of Podcasts Contest Head on over and check out the shows rocking the codeword this week. Week Four is Underway!Time is winding down to get involved and submit your codewords. make sure you head on over and check out the goodies.
