If you’re into movies, you gotta check this out. There’s a new projection screen for sale that’s blowing everyone’s mind. It’s great for one of those Epson HD projectors, but that’s only some of the fun. Then there’s the fact that it is 20 feet wide with a 17 foot viewing screen! But that’s only some of the fun, too. The really big deal? It’s INFLATABLE!! That makes it fully portable and just generally cool as hell.  You can take … Continue reading →

No bar is complete without a dart board. Period. Any bar you go to that doesn’t have one? Anywhere with white table cloths and a bow-tie wearing bartender? Not a bar. That’s just a restaurant in disguise. They’ll start feeding you tapas before you’re even sitting down. Any REAL bar has a dart board. So since you have spent so much time and energy into converting your basement into the neighborhood speakeasy, why not invest in one? And not something … Continue reading →

You’ve spend God knows how long trying to get this stupid bar the way you want it. It got to be such an obnoxious task at one point that you even started drinking in the living room again. But finally your labor of love has begun to pay off, and you’re beginning to enjoy the man-cave concept again. In order to reward yourself for your hard work, you decide to set up the game table you had in college. You … Continue reading →

Mountain biking is mad fun. Not only is it great for track racing, and not only is it great for off-road biking, but it’s perfect for trails and parks. Most parks, in fact, have trails dedicated specifically to biking – restricted and off-limits to foot traffic and motorized vehicles. So mountain biking is a big thing out there. But they’re EXPENSIVE!! A quality mountain bike… like, say, a Diamondback… can run you in the neighborhood of $700 or $800. For … Continue reading →

Biking is one of the three iron man sports, and therefore, many in the military are drawn to it. Military personnel are constantly pushing themselves in new directions of physical fitness, and there is no better path to follow than the iron man. Many who are into biking are also into trails. Sure, a nice ride out on a beach cruiser is a great way to spend the afternoon, but a mountain bike can really take you to the next … Continue reading →

Live in an apartment complex? You’re familiar with the war. The noise war, that is. You’re competing with your neighbors, the people outside, the cars driving down the street, even your own family. All you want to do is get through ONE song without someone else’s bass killing your groove. You might be thinking at this point that you’ll just have to tough it out until you move into a better neighborhood… or at least a better house, with 15 … Continue reading →

I hate Windows 8. Can’t stand it. Wish I never bought it. It’s the single biggest pain in the neck thing I’ve ever purchased. In fact, if I could ever undo only one purchase in my life, it would be that one. But then again, I don’t use the touch-screen mode because I’m on a Lenovo laptop. I’m just trying to use the desktop version as best I can, and as Microsoft will be the first to tell you, Windows … Continue reading →

Microsoft and Sony announced new version of the PlayStation and Xbox gaming systems for release later this year. The gamer world is abuzz with anticipation, and they can’t wait to get their hands on the new line. Nintendo, however, has been ominously silent. We’re not sure if there is a new version of the Wii coming soon or not, but one thing is for sure – the Wii that’s out now will be a TON cheaper than the new systems. … Continue reading →

What do you do? You know you’re going to be in situations where you won’t be able to hear your tablet audio without headphones. So you’re going to get the best headphones money can buy, right? Of course. But then you also know that there are going to be situations when you’re chatting or doing whatever, and something INSANE happens that NO ONE will believe without proof. Your tablet camera will be unavailable… but you can’t get that new Nikon … Continue reading →

Being a working class hero isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You look around the world, and you see all these easy ways out – obviously below the bar, but still – and it makes you wonder why you went the way you did. You need bling, and you have none. This won’t do. You tend to your responsibilities, you take care of the things you’re supposed to, you do what they tell you, and you put your kids … Continue reading →
