Even with the New York Times reporting that 82% of us aren’t texting, we all know that the entire 18% that are engaged in a BlackBerry war are driving behind us. If you don’t feel that your brake lights are enough to save you from the Escalade tailing you for 5 miles of 3 [...]
Last year there was a huge fire in my town that did some damage to my place of work. It was the first time “devastating fire” ever really hit home with me and I’m not ashamed to admit I have a slight fear of another fire being started to finish what the first one [...]
I don’t condone driving while you’re sleepy, not one bit, and I’m not above calling someone to come and get me if I don’t think I’m fully alert and able to drive. I’ve seen too many people get hurt or killed due to car accidents and that’s why I love this idea from Toyota [...]

Over at Gear Diary Kerry Woo is unwittingly making me feel guilty about my computer setup - yes, I’m surge protected (well, not me personally) but seeing them review Belkin’s Battery Backup with Flashlight reminds me that should the power go out it’ll instantly take the PC with it. UPS (uninterrupted power supplies) used to [...]
I live in Indiana, which for those that don’t live here, we don’t exactly get earthquakes. I remember getting a tremor once that barely even registered on the Richter Scale and people talked about it for months. However, those that live in areas like Japan have to worry about them quite often. In places like [...]
Not all that long ago I was a teen driver. I honestly wasn’t that bad behind the wheel, despite the number of accidents I was in. Most of them weren’t my fault, mind you. Still, the thought of my parents being able to monitor my every move in my car just creeps me out to [...]
