Coca Cola Zero Ugly Christmas Sweater Generator
Oh the ugly Christmas sweater. A reminder of Aunt Sally’s knitting skills and her love for her nephews. Me and my brother received one of these monstrosity’s each year. It was as if she competing, with herself, to make the sweater more obnoxious each year. Apparently a clever marketing person at Coca-Cola (Zero) had a […]
Cobra iRadar Atom Laser-Radar-Camera Detector
A good radar detector (in this case a radar, laser, police, and camera detector) is worth it’s weight in gold. Getting a speeding ticket these days is so expensive it typically costs much more than your radar detector. And… that radar detector should save you more than just one ticket. I just got back from […]
FatShark Predator V2 Review
If you aren’t familiar with FPV (First Person View) goggles for remote control helicopters, planes, boats, or cars… consider this a free lesson. FPV goggles are awesome in that they let you feel like you are in the vehicle you are controlling remotely. In my case it is strapped on to a DJI S800 Hexacopter. […]
Louisiana And Texas
Next up New Orleans… and just in time for the freak show that is Halloween. But first we had to stop by the National WWII Museum. Glad we did. The museum does a good job educating you about WWII, but also gave us both a better understanding of how much tougher the older generations were/are. […]
Pyle Audio PBTWP24 Surf Sound Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker/Handset Review
It has been difficult to get excited about Bluetooth speakers lately. Most are made of cheap plastic, have poor sound quality, and frankly just leave a lot to be desired. The Pyle Audio PBTWP24 (PBTWP24BK, PBTWP24WT, PBTWP24BL) Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker/Handset was a refreshing change to the ho-hum Bluetooth marketplace. Not to spoil the Surf Sound […]
DJI Phantom 2 Vision Quadcopter Review
As luck would have it… a few months after I purchase my DJI Phantom Quadcopter they come out with the Phantom 2 Vision. In other words my old quadcopter became yesterdays news in just a few months. Oh well. Another excuse to purchase a newer toy and do a quick review. Read on for details.
Tennessee, Alabama, & Mississippi
Stayed two nights in Nashville, TN and enjoyed lots of live music. Great place. The downtown Nashville scene gets busy super early… lines at 5PM. Got to spend some time with an old friend who was moving out of Nashville (heading to Detroit… wrong direction!). Next up we went to Lynchburg, TN for a tour […]
Coin
Like most folks these days, I carry around several credit cards, ATM cards, membership cards, gift cards, etc… Too many cards. This invention, the Coin ($100 available summer 2014), aims to solve that problem by storing all of these cards in just one card. The Coin is the same shape as a typical credit card […]
Caterham Brutus 750 Motorcycle
The folks at Caterham Group are branching out from their purpose based track cars to create a motorcycle division. Their first motorcycle, the Caterham Brutus 750, will be the “SUV of motorcycles”. The Caterham Brutus 750 Motorcycle is meant to be equally good on the street as it is as an off-road bike. Not impressed? […]
Maine, Boston, Connecticut, And New York
4 state catch up post… we have been having too much fun to post. After New Hampshire we made it to Maine and did what typical tourists would do. We went out on a lobster boat and caught lunch. Picked the best lobsters out of the bunch… hauled them to a local restaurant… and ate […]
