What do beer and coffee have to do with each other? Well besides both being categorized as beverages and at times bookending my day, they have come together in a couple of different fun stories for today’s show. They will also show up in a slate of new reviews coming.

But today’s show is much more than coffee beer, we also run through facebook URLs, Microsoft news and GPS blunders. As well as a ton of great odd and yet still geeky stories.We also give a rundown of the DTV transition and some local issues, and the sad state of news media surrounding the change.

Also since you can’t have a show called Beer and Coffee without giving a shout-out to Matthew Ebel, who has an album of the same name We’ll feature a podsafe music track at the end of the show. Its been a while since I had music in the show.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
