And even if you live in one of those cities/hamlets, you still need…

  • Mindless Timehole

    You heard me right, “mindless timehole”. That’s about all I can say for the Blue Ball Machine.

While reminiscing over our trip to Europe I remembered a story of…

  • NY Auto Show

    A couple of weekends back I made it out to the Jacob Javitz Center to catch the New York Auto Show. It was the first time I’ve attended a “major” auto show and it was pretty impressive.

    You know how every-so-often you’ll be at a bar and there will be waitresses waltzing around with samples of some new-age drink? Well, last night I was out with a few friends at the Thirsty Turtle in Stamford and we were approached by your atypical aforementioned waitresses. They were handing out free samples of Anheuser-Buschs’…
