After trying a few things I finally took the plunge.
The second the iPhone came out the Mac Fanboy developers starting figuring it’s ins and outs in hope of more application and such. Well I am happy to report their efforts have been successful! I am reaping the benefits. I can’t help but [...]

Exorcism complete.

The Grilliput passes the test!
I was farting around REI several months ago with Serge when I ran across the Grilliput, a portable grill.  I do some camping and fishing so it sparked my interest.  You can go to their website to see all it’s features.  I’ll say this, it’s easy to setup and tear down.  [...]

I have been fascinated with knives (and flashlights, but that’s a whole other post at some other time) since I was a child. I remember getting my first knife, a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. It was the Classic model that they still make today. It was misplaced long [...]
