A Daily Favorite – “Not Always Right”

January 17, 2011 Stuart Leave a Comment

I subscribe to quite a few blogs and websites that I read daily, and of course have a few favorites. Not Always Right is near the top of the list, and features short humerous anecdotes that are usually submitted by someone in a retail or service industry. Not Always Right is a fresh and entertaining daily pleasure that I […]

New Burger King Jalapeno and Cheese-Stuffed Burger Looks Like…

January 12, 2011 Stuart 1 Comment

Yesterday I passed by a Burger King in the food court and saw an advertisement for their new cheese & jalapeno burger. This new burger features one of their “steak” sized patties that is embedded with bits of jalapeno and cheddar cheese. I’m sorry, but this doesn’t look like something that you’re supposed to eat. Besides […]

Anolon Advanced Santoku Knife with Santoprene Handle

January 10, 2011 Stuart Leave a Comment

While I’d love to splurge for a ceramic Santoku knife, for the time being I’m making due with what I’ve got – Anolon 5″ and 7″ santokus with Santoprene handles, which are fantastic knives. Personally, I prefer to use my 5″ santoku over the 7″ one. I’ve been using the 5″ version for over four years […]

Kyocera Ceramic Kitchen Knives

January 7, 2011 Stuart 7 Comments

A few years ago I had the pleasure of seeing a Kyocera ceramic knife in action, and have since wanted one of my own. It looks like a wide selection of these knives is finally readily available in the USA, but that creates a problem. Which one(s) to buy?! Looking over the knife selection and knowing which […]

The Xoom features a dual-core processor, 1 GB of ram, a 1280 x 800 10.1″ touch screen, forward facing and rear video cameras, and it promises […]

Why I Keep an Avalanche Shovel in My Car

January 5, 2011 Stuart 1 Comment

That’s right, I keep an avalanche shovel in my car. More specifically, it’s a Voile Telepro T6. You see, I have a habit of breaking the plastic “emergency collapsible snow shovels” marketed by auto accessory makers. The last thing I want to hear when digging out my car when I’m on the go is “SNAP”.

How to Build a Solid Home Theater Computer (HTPC or DVR)

December 18, 2010 Stuart 4 Comments

This week I decided to add a home theater computer in my living room for DVR (digital video recording) use. I’ve had one running in the bedroom for about 5 years now, and it’s due for an upgrade as well. The two computers will mostly be used to record TV shows for future viewing. Following is […]

Timbuk2 Messenger Bag Price Drop

December 15, 2010 Stuart Leave a Comment

The Timbuk2 “Racing Stripe” messenger bag that I ordered and posted about last month has dropped in price again to $50. I’m really liking this bag thus far, although it’s sometimes a bit too large for my needs. The price was right – I paid $55, compared to the $100-120 Timbuk2 charges for their other […]

Magnetix Magnetic 3D Building Toy & Why I Threw Mine Out

November 29, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

You’ve probably seen these Magnetix building toys before. They feature small plastic bars with magnetic endpieces that attach to steel balls to form three dimensional structures. Magnetix is made for children, so the pieces are large and easily manipulated by small hands.

That’s right. Amazon’s giving away $3 MP3 credits. Simply click this link, follow the directions, and enter code GET3MP3S into the pop-up window. From there, go forth and search for music to download. One warning – I started off looking for three singles to download, and ended up with two singles and two full albums. $3 […]

Do You Have a Good Snow Brush & Ice Scraper for Your Car?

November 22, 2010 Stuart Leave a Comment

Winter time is fast approaching, so it’s about time to check out your car snow-clearing gear. Inspect your ice scraper blade for dings and dents, and your brush for signs of wear and tear. The last thing you want is to have to buy a new snow brush after the first or second big snow. In the past […]

Flintstones Sour Gummies Vitamins – Yes They’re For Adults Too!!

November 18, 2010 Stuart 2 Comments

I don’t like taking vitamins, but I like the boost they give me since I don’t always eat healthily. I’ve been taking Flintstone Sour Gummies for some time, and am pretty satisfied with them. I tried taking adult vitamin capsules before, but that never really panned out.
