Overengineered Socks

For some reason that I fail to grasp, I burn through dress socks faster than any man I know. Whether it’s the 2+ miles I walk every day or some freak-of-nature method in which I put my socks on, I still manage to rip, tear, or downright destroy most of my socks. Sometimes my foot-sheaths [...]

We tossed around the idea of putting together a great prank for today: writing a full review of the Macbook Nano, changing the [...]

Bombtastic

Wiffle Ball is the best summer sport. Ever. There is nothing like grilling, having a cold beer, and throwing your arm out by trying to strike out your softball playing cousin.  Personally, I always enjoyed smoking my younger brother with a nasty curve (mind you, he’s 8.5 yrs younger than me) – until he got [...]
