There was a time when the playground was sacred. As long as kids weren’t chanting FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT the teachers would stand over in the corner and ignore all the stupid playground games.

Behind the Wheel This TomTom is pretty good, but I really do enjoy the TalkingHeads GPS a bit more… I mean don’t get me wrong, the TomTom XXL 550 has its moments.

Forever alone. A solo speaker’s all I’ll ever need. Sure, I might not have a date. I might not get invited to parties. And sure, no one comes to the parties I throw myself. But that doesn’t mean I have to get down on myself. Not with this Vulcan Phantom Solo Speaker & Freeloader USB […]

“Let me just log in here…what the?” Hello, Bruce. Don’t bother adjusting your monitor. I’m in control, now. “Uh, I was hoping to play some Minesweeper.” There will be no sweeping of mines today, Bruce. You see, I’m onto you.
