You might remember back in December of 2010 our Wootcast made mention of Utilikilts, in which it inspired our Million-Dollar Idea, The Utilitutu. Well, as fate would have it, Utilikilts popped up on our radar once again today on the PAX show floor. Where did it come from? As the saying goes, dehydrated intoxication is […]

I didn’t go to PAX to play the same old games everybody else is playing. Mostly because I’m pretty terrible at video games and I’d make a fool of myself in front of a large group of people. But also because I crave the new, the novel, the exciting. As I scanned the exhibition hall […]

Not everyone wants “gourmet,” okay? You can keep your fancy, cutting edge laptop – and its price tag – for yourself. Look, I appreciate your enthusiasm and all, but I needed a laptop. Not a Macbook, not an Alienware – whatever the hell that even means – and certainly not some high-end, glossy business designed […]
