“I’m sorry, sir?” I’m just on the fence about pulling the trigger on this Bissell Garage Pro Wet/Dry Vacuum. I have some specific jobs in mind for it, or rather one job repeatedly, and I want to make sure it’s the right vacuum for the job. “Oh, okay, well it’s made for cleaning up your […]

No, I didn’t name my shoegaze band Game of Drones after the television show; I named it after a book that a television show just happens to be based on. There’s a difference. One is pop-culture-y and low-brow; the other one is literary, thus making it high-brow. And if you’d ever listened to our stuff, […]

Imagine, if you will, two friends having a laugh. Over a bottle of wine one makes the audacious suggestion: why not a white that is also a red? And, as friends will do, the joke soon becomes a dare. Before long, the two friends find themselves in a place they shouldn’t be, at a time […]

The stranger blew into town like a hot wind was chasing him. Set up at a table in the back of the saloon. Nobody knew what to make of him, the big fancy doctor from back East. All they knew is they couldn’t believe he was here, and they never figured he’d clean up this […]

What do you see over there? A wall? Well, I see a possible backdrop for video games. What’s that underneath our feet? A floor? Nay! An arena! A video game arena! How about the ceiling? Just a place for hanging lights? No! A place to hang lights AND projecting a 1080p 3D display! Of video […]

Now don’t get me wrong: this is a great, attractive watch. Its black stainless steel case, its rich leather band, and its multi-Jeweled Precision Swiss Quartz Movement? You could buy it just for that stuff. But for me, my primary concern is safety. You see, I live in the “Little Zurich” part of town, and […]

“Now, don’t open it right away,” Rod said as he handed Pamela the package. “Because I’ve got a little speech before we start. I probably should have written it down, I guess, but since it’s from the heart, I figure I can just, you know, say it.” Pamela sat down with the box in her […]

Amanda was never really a fan of his music. Until recently, she’d never purchased any of his albums or played any of his music in the car. When others would drunkenly sing his songs as they played from a bar jukebox, Amanda would just smile and sway along, hoping that whoever chose the track hadn’t […]

This product might seem a little confusing. It’s a wireless Wi-Fi router that seems to be able to connect via Ethernet, 3G/4G or…Wi-Fi? If your head is about to implode from that logical paradox fear not: The good people at ZyXEL have made a handy video that explains things perfectly. So click this link to […]

My dear brother Thanks for your last letter. I obtained permission to pack my trunk, which I’ve sent by goods train. The 30 kilos of luggage one is allowed to take will allow me to take my MacBook, a tablet, and my stylus. I fear my time here has not calmed my nerves as I […]
