JCB Toughphone is tough to look at

Christina Crouch, Jan 28th 2008 Discuss [2]

I usually try not to make snap decisions. I like to give things a chance to be horrible before I deem them so, however I can’t not call this phone ugly. There is not a feature in the world that would talk me into carrying the JCB Toughphone around. Read The Full Story

The Disintegrator Rubber Band Gun

Abby McVay, Jan 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

My brother and I tended to have all kinds of battles, usually involving Super Soakers, Nerf guns and the occasional rubber band gun. That is until one of us got mad or injured. Thankfully, my eye seems to have healed very well since they replaced it with this shiny new one. As a fully mature and responsible adult, I would still kick my brother's ass if given the chance. Which makes me drool with envy over a rubber band gun that could propel 288 rubber bands in his general direction. Read The Full Story

Christina Crouch, Jan 10th 2008 Discuss [0]

Garmin showed off it’s Forerunner 405 watch and I must say it’s pretty awesome, and coming from someone who hates watches that’s saying something. Since it’s from Garmin, it is, of course, GPS enabled but it also has a lot of other good features like speed, distance and heart rate track. Read The Full Story

The Oxygenating Watering Can

Abby McVay, Jan 8th 2008 Discuss [0]

When someone says they are watering the plants, that could mean any number of things. Generally for me it means a miracle has occurred and I've remembered to actually water them. That also means I'm watering dried up dead plants. However, for some it is a much more religious act. For those that like keeping their plants pampered this Oxygenating Watering Can is just the thing to keep you plants looking healthy. Read The Full Story

Sun Table forces you outside

Abby McVay, Dec 19th 2007 Discuss [1]

For those that enjoy the great outdoors while trying to work on their laptop, this solar table is just the way to save on that energy bill. Now anyone can take one look at my pasty white skin and know that it is highly unlikely that I'll be toting my laptop out into the dreaded sunlight. However, I can appreciate the gesture of creating a table to make the world a greener place. Read The Full Story

The Ride – It’s retro and new all at once

Christina Crouch, Dec 14th 2007 Discuss [0]

Even though I’ve not been on a bike in years I’d still like have one again. However, my “adult and sophisticated” self wouldn’t settle for just any old ordinary bike. No, I want my bike to special and maybe have some sort link to the 1400’s. Read The Full Story

Barrel Sauna – A steamy backyard retreat

Christina Crouch, Dec 12th 2007 Discuss [0]

On my list of “Things I want when I make it big” you’ll find ‘Sauna’ towards the top. There isn’t much that’s more refreshing than a steam bath, in my opinion. Calloway Woodworks knows and understands this desire. They’ve got an Outdoor Barrel Sauna for around $4500-$6670. I don’t think that’s a bad price at all. I may even afford one before I make it big.
