Sure, talking to friends is great, but a barbecue without music is like a barbecue without hotdogs, and speaking of which I went to TWO of those in the past week. Who neglects hotdogs at a barbecue? And no Brooklyn, this is not a hot dog, nor is it an acceptable replacement. Vegans… Since no one wants to hear the

This weekend, put the remote down. Turn off the Netflix. Turn off the internet. Step outside. Get in your car. Drive to a park. Drive to a beach. No, put down the phone. You don’t need to instagram this. Just read. Just read a book and forget about everything and everyone else, for at least …one… hour. After that hour

For a while now we’ve been watching with awe as a bunch of people on YouTube have built and successfully tested Rustlers at over 100MPH. Well, we couldn’t let them have all the fun, now could we? Wouldn’t be prudent. We set out to build our own 100MPH+ GT Style 1/8th scale speed runner, and we decided to stick with

I remember the day I asked a friend if she was a Woody Allen fan. Her vapid response was, “I’m a huge Woody Allen fan, but I only like the ones without him in it.” (-Kimberly Scott, friendship R.I.P.) Wut? In celebration of the new Woody Allen movie coming out,  I’ve decided to compare prices on older Allen films that

If I’ve learned anything about gaming it’s to be behind the times. If it is at all humanly possible, take a break from gaming for at least a year. When you come back, a console will be cheaper because a new one will be in the works and all of your games will be about half off. Best part? No

There are a lot of movies and TV shows that Netflix is good for catching up on. HBO and Showtime series are not one of them. Get caught up on previous seasons of True Blood on the cheap, so you can jump in the conversations on your friend’s facebook pages and feel relevant again. Or mostly so you can avoid

  Because obviously there is much more to a book than can fit into a less than two hour film. Austenland (August 16) * Based on a novel by Shannon Hale Stars: Keri Russell, JJ Feild, Jennifer Coolidge Director: Jerusha Hess Plot: Obsessed with the BBC production of “Pride and Prejudice”, a woman travels to a Jane Austen theme park

So grab some of these freshly compared summer bar-b-que items, invite the friends and neighbors over and lets smoke some shhhhiii…shiitake mushrooms!   Coleman 9949-750 Road Trip Grill LXE Retail

My dad has never asked for much gift wise. I remember many birthdays and Christmases where he was perfectly content holding the video camera and taping every second of mine and my brother’s Rainbow Bright-Micronaught-filled childhoods, rather than opening any of his own gifts. And for good reason….when we asked what he wanted, his requests were really lame. So lame

It is my dream that when I buy a paperback I am offered a discount on the download for the electronic version as well. Until then I’m sticking to the paper versions that are easily readable in the bright light of a lazy beach day, and in some cases on this list, up to 90% off their digital counterpart’s price.

Here is another short video update on our Brash (Bulletproof Rustler LCG Slash) R/C car project. 10,000 wheelies later, the drive shafts went. After a fair bit of research we decided to stay away from expensive steel drive shaft replacements, and go with the Traxxas #6852X Heavy Duty Drive Shafts for Slash 4X4, which fit flawlessly on our heavily modified
