I hate coming in from the winter cold and getting dirt and water everywhere. Even if i [...]

So I caved. After seeing Vince and that damn Shamwow commercial, I made my way to the “as seen on TV” shelf end at my local target and plunked down $20 of my hard earned green to see if I would say “wow” every time.
For those of you who don’t know. The shamwow [...]

Mankind hath always enjoyed the look and feel of wood. It is a sign of strength, power, durability, and elegance. Its difficult to imagine a world where wood played a lesser part. Our buildings, our furniture, our fire, and our fences. The Red Wood Forests, Log Cabins, Ships, and the entire state of Oregon would [...]

Today we’re reviewing a gift i received for Christmas, a Wind-Up LED Flashlight by MegaBrite. The concept is simple, instead of using batteries, you charge it up via a crank on the side and then use it at your will. Each flashlight has 3 LED bulbs in in and two settings, one [...]

So Sleek! Even without the Chrome!
Today we’re reviewing the Agent 18 Eco Friendly iPhone case. A few weeks ago I gave in to the pressure to purchase an iPhone and once again went out to pay a premium for a fancy apple device. This compelling feeling BTW, I call the “Steve Jobs Tax.” Now, walking [...]

Clear, Bright, Light.
If you’re like me, when you’re at home depot and you’re shopping for lights, three things matter. Cost, Wattage, and Quality. Well, and I want my lights to dim.
