I wish someone would make a charging station that’s big enough to hold a modem and router. Oh wait, someone has. Unfortunately that someone was Ikea so it looks like butt. I’m stuck using this plain white “prison chic” box until I find something better. Preferably something with a cherry finish and mitered rope detailing,…
It’s got electrolytes!
This spray bottle costs $169. It electrically charges salt water and turns it into a magical household cleaner, potentially removing ammonia and bleach from your cleaning routine completely. The spray that it produces will not only kill more bacteria than household bleach, but you can safely drink it too. That part hurts my brain. It…
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect was a great game. I finished it two years ago so I kind of forgot just how great it was…and just about every major plot point too. Now I’ve started Mass Effect 2 and it’s all coming back to me. I just got to the part where Garrus makes his appearance and I…
Free Kindles?
Amazon Wants To Give A Free Kindle To All Amazon Prime Subscribers. Allegedly. Sure, I’ll buy a Kindle for $79. Just don’t expect me to pay for any books.

Sample ham radio license tests

Palisades del Rey
Between the end of the LAX runway and the Pacific Ocean is a little sliver of land that, from the satellite image, looks like a residential housing development…without any houses. That’s what it used to be, but it was seized and razed by the government in the 60s. Now it’s just a ghost town, and…
Tales from the NICU
But sometimes at my job, without anyone’s permission or direction, without any papers in hand or abbreviations or acronyms or any right except a self-imposed one, I say something that feels very, very important to me. It’s this: It’s going to be okay. I was raised by a single mom, and I turned out just…
