Pac-Man Oven Mitt

We’re pretty much done with all of the holiday baking over in these parts, and we did quite a bit I might add. Or maybe I should say everyone else did quite a bit. Me? Not a baker. Trust me, nobody wants me near their ovens or even their microwaves.While I’ve been known to wield a gadget or two, cooking electronics were never my thing. Its such a shame that we’re all done with the Christmas baking, I would have... Continue reading

Inspiration For Being a Trekkie

What more inspiration do you need? A little too skinny for my liking, but who am I kidding, I’d trek it. While I’ve never really been a hardcore Trekkie (I know, I know, I claim to be an alpha geek yet don’t know the finer points of Klingon grammar. I’m so ashamed.)

Bad news, according to TorrentFreak. While the TPB will become a publicly traded company on a Swedish exchange,... Continue reading

Review: JBL/Roxy Reference 250 Headphones

JBL has always been a purveyor of fine audio, which makes total sense considering its parent company is Harmon Kardon. A few years back, I reviewed some Reference 220 earbud headphones, which were affordable and sounded great on the iPod. This time around, JBL has teamed up with Quiksilver’s surfin’ sister company Roxy on a line of headphones that are catered towards young women. Do they stand the test of time? Perhaps.

After all that hype! 9.7-inches of fury with a $489 price tag. Get ready to witness Amazon’s blitzkrieg on the newspaper and textbook industries.
