Turn Time Green With the Bedol Water Clock If your house is in an older neighbourhood like mine, you're intimately familiar with the summertime power outage game, and you probably also own stock in at least one battery manufacturing company. But you... Continued
Sea Monkey Day Like most kids of the 1970's, I was fascinated by Sea Monkeys, magic rocks, and ant farms. Not that I was ever allowed to have any of them...we didn't have the extra money for stuff like that. Which means as so... Continued
iGrill Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer Lets You Monitor Your Grill From Afar Who wants to be stuck standing at the grill when you're having a party? I mean, if your friends are having fun, shouldn't you be as well? But someone has to tend to dinner, and unless your house works vastl... Continued
Wear Purple For Peace Day Not really a stretch for me, as I am almost obsessively attracted to anything purple. But a neat thought just the same. So haul out your purple clothing and/or accessories, and be a walking billboard for peace ... Continued
