Out of energy, Odd Weekend, and So much more to tell

All things considered this should be a Mea Culpa edition of the Podcast. Its probably going to run short because i can’t talk too long, but i did this to myself, well Bud Selig, and My internal body clock conspired against me.

Beyond the lingering affects, or foreshadow, I can’t decide which. We culled the topics down to a more manageable level. I’ll try to talk a bit more on some of the fun that comes across the desk but the next show is going to be chock full of rapid fired content.

Its been a rough up and down type of week after a wonderful weekend. Thank you to everyone for your birthday wishes, and support. This past weekend I got to meet a twitter friend and discuss the organic nature of the service. I got to have plenty of Coffee and Creme Stout from a local brewery, and i got to spend plenty of time with friends and family. Being that the weekend was as Tech Free as it was, diving back into tech, writing, and podcasting this week has been quite fruitful indeed.

Tonight we’re going to dive back into the fun post apocalyptic world of Zombie killing, Enjoy some good coffee and discuss the finer points of tech communication and responses. So it should be a great episode, hopefully you’ll enjoy what we’re serving today.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

Today’s Show:  robots, gardens, NES, Pacman, Dragon, turntables, GE, Math, Pi, Coffee, Scanwhiches, Sushi, review, TP

Tonight’s episode was almost labeled The Wasteful because of the huge number of leftovers after this show was created. I simply could not cram any more awesome into the time slotted. While the podcast could theoretically go on forever we had to draw the line somewhere, and that line was here.

Instead I decided to break it down into the two most represented categories R and R is Retro and Robots, a metric ton of awesome in each subcat. Caffeinated all the way in today’s show we speak of coffee as fuel for your car, fuel for your mind, and robots which tend gardens. We discuss the finery of Pacman, the majesty of Zork and the horror of modern advertising which is so cool you can’t avert your eyes.

This Episode also could have been called the Birthday Super Throwdown Edition.

Happy birthday to My father in Law, My Father and My Sister!

So Please Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!

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!

Back to the schedule, but not yet full health. Politics are once again leading the scene in the nation. So we figured everyone no matter your affiliation was tired of prepared speeches, thanking people for their questions and bickering. So this episode is Politics free, as most of them are. We cover some great ground in Technology news, and Caffeine and Food Culture.

The body knows its limits and very recently my own body took control and pushed me into sleep rather than productivity. The result is an episode which had a bit longer on the vine, a bit more time to ripen. Its spicy, its a bit sweeter and we hope its worth the wait. Enjoy
