By Luke Anderson My main computer is pretty fast, with a nice overclocked Core 2 Duo, speedy RAM  and a kick-ass video card. Unfortunately it does have one piece slowing it down. While my hard drive is SATA (none of that ancient IDE crap here), I’d love to switch it out for a faster SSD drive...

By Luke Anderson I’m a pretty tall person,which has its upsides and downsides. For instance, I don’t need any help getting things off of a high shelf. This also means that people will bug me to get their crap down from high places. When it comes to riding in a car, most of the time the s...

By Luke Anderson If you pop in a recent Sci-Fi  movie and observe the weaponry, you’ll likely see some very sleek-looking weapons. It seems logical that in the future everything will look far better, right? Well if you go back to the really old Sci-Fi stuff like Buck Rogers, their idea of the...

By Luke Anderson I’ve been out paintballing a few times, and it’s actually a lot of fun. The trick is to get hit as little as possible. While I enjoyed running around with a few friends on two different teams, I always thought it would be cool to have a set of turrets to defend each othe...

By Luke Anderson I always love a good conspiracy theory. There’s nothing quite like diving into the complex possibilities of what our government or some large company might be cooking up. Well the best one that I’ve heard recently is concerning those fancy little DTV converter boxes that...

By Luke Anderson One thing that’s always troubled me about taking a bath is that any way you slice it, you’re actually just sitting in your own filth. You can make yourself feel better about it by adding in some bubbles, but you’re really just covering up the discolored water. The ...

By Luke Anderson I have a fairly large music collection, enough that my 16GB can’t hold it all. For the sake of functionality, I was willing to cut out a few tracks here and there. Now if your collection is enough to fill even the largest iPods, you might consider this offering from Rapid Repa...

By Luke Anderson When you think of carrying some sort of weapon for self-defense, what sorts of things come to mind? I’m going to guess that a permanent marker wasn’t at the top of the list. I’m sure that a Sharpie to the eye would probably do some damage, but I hardly think that m...

By Luke Anderson When I was a kid, I learned a valuable lesson. When you’re putting, all of the aiming in the world doesn’t do you any good if you don’t have a straight swing. Once I taught myself how to swing properly, I mastered the fine art of putt-putt. If your short-game needs...

By Luke Anderson I loved Transformers just as much as the next kid when I was in school. I had a pretty sweet Optimus Prime and a few others, but not the massive collections that some people did. Well if you’re obsessive about your robots in disguise, here’s a collectible that you might ...
