All The Craic and none of the problems

So a belated Happy St Patty’s Day to all of you who either are, wish to be, or are willing to pretend for a day to Be Irish. Its been a fun day so far with lots of good Craic to follow the tons of cruft we usually do. Now For Truely good Craic you need to see a CraicHead, Jimmy CraicHeadTV would be the place to get it. I borrowed the title from Jimmy for this show, You should check out the original, He’s a Philly based video blogger who loves dogs, sailing and of course good craic.

All craics aside, today’s show is full of crazy awesome tech, and slowed by a crazy twitter / internet outage. So the live show might end up not being live at all. Technology goofs aside you’re going  to learn about Zelda triforce Rugs, amazing beer steins, Mario in art. In short a few of my favorite things.

Huge thanks to my co-host from the last episode, it turns out that was one of the better received episodes I’ve had in quite a while. Today;s show is jam packed with great stuff from front to back. We have a ton of retro content, both old and new, old made new, new working with old. Sound like gibberish? I promise it will all make some sense after the show. We’ll be heading back into the realm of 8 bit games, dealing with new ways of enjoying them, honoring them and playing with the characters from them.

But the show is more than just a collections of memories made current. Its also all about the cool things happening right now, enjoy the Bacon, and feast on the hubris.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

The dreaded daycare sweep is running through our house right now in various stages with each person. But when it gets right down to it the show must go on. There is a ton of news building up and we have swept through for only the best and brightest content. While typing may be hard with my stump of a hand, the news has been nothing if not fantastic.

I wanted to tank everyone for all their well wishes, at this point the injury is more irritating than anything else. I’ve been though this process so many times, that while painful its rarely different.
