I’ve dicked around for years trying various wireless headsets for my computer, and it’s never ever been a good reliable experience. Ever. I gave up on the whole idea of a happy wireless headset experience, until someone cleaning out their office just gave me their old headset. It sat in a pile of junk for […]

This whole thing started because I’m in a situation where my spouse doesn’t want a cell phone. She uses Google Voice to text with myself and her friends, but this only works when she’s at home on her laptop, not sitting in the car on the side of the road or standing in an empty […]

Spring and summer usually means yard work and drudgery, and this year was no different. I went to my garden shed to get my trusty rubber boots and found that one of them (just one) had cracked to pieces. I thought it was odd that one would appear to kind of, well, “dry out” and […]

I had a chance to review the 13.56MHz RFID field detector from Montie Gear and I have to say, I like this detector. It’s very thin, somewhat flexible, and is the size of a credit card so it fits in my wallet.

I bought some goofy shoes today… the kind with all the toes broken out into individual little pockets. I saw them a couple days ago in a local sporting goods store and thought they might just help with that cramped feeling my toes have. I know you might just be thinking “get bigger shoes idiot”, […]

So I’ve been playing Borderlands at night before going to bed, but now I’ve expanded to playing in the morning before work. I think I’m right at the end of the game, but who knows… it could just go on forever. Eventually though, the solo-fun will run out, and that’s where things get interesting. I […]

The last year and a half has been quite stressful for me. Too many projects both personal and professional have overlapped and are slowly sapping my will to live. When I start to feel that old familiar burn-out feeling and productivity starts hitting rock bottom, the one thing I do to get by (aside from […]

This book is a great one if you want to show your kid how those backyard science experiments relate to real-world applications. You can buy a book or a kit that shows you how to sit down with your kid and make a simple condensation still, but this book will show you the correlation to […]
