Wicked Little Buds Stereo Earbuds: The Adventure BeginsWicked Little Buds Stereo Earbuds: The Adventure Begins

A Package From… Where?

You’re just arriving home after another bruising shift at the Kleenex factory. It’s not exactly fulfilling, but right now you’re just glad to have a job. Good thing you listened to your Dad. “Whatever happens with the economy, people will always blow their noses. Booms and busts come and go; snot is eternal.” Before you go inside, you shake the blue and pink dust from your clothes, not quite ready to turn off your MP3 player, especially now that it’s playing an appropriate quitting-time anthem: “Workin’ like a dog for the bossman (whoa-oh) Workin’ for the company (whoa-oh yeah)” – preach it, Steven.

It all comes through loud and clear on your Wicked Little Earbuds. For a workin’ stiff like you, it’s important to get decent sound for an indecent price, thanks to your new best buds. And with three different sizes of cushions, you’re always ready to rock despite that bizarre condition you suffer from where your ears are always shrinking and expanding. Not even Unstable Ear Disorder can stay you from your appointed jams.

But you won’t be lovin’ it up in any elevators anytime soon. Not until you get to the bottom of the mysterious package on your doorstep. For some reason, it’s addressed to your good friend Dr. Brant Brentlinger, international nuclear scientist, c/o you. You haven’t seen Brant in months – the last you heard, he was on a uranium-hunting expedition in the South Pacific, chasing rumors of the legendary Glowing Silver Mountain of Nura Lor. Why would he have something shipped to you? The package is no help – other than the address, it’s marked with nothing more than an exclamation point.

You’re just about to open it when there’s a pounding at your door. Through the peephole, you see something that turns your loins to ice, and for non-temperature-related reasons. Two… people? Things? Monsters? Their faces are a mess of tentacles, antennae, tusks, and compound eyes. And they’re wearing matching suits – not cool men-in-black suits, but powder blue tuxedos. You appreciate the effort they made to look nice, but you really don’t want to deal with this right after work.

Do you (A) answer the door or (B) sneak out back?

“Mom, could you pass the mashed poWHY IS MRS. GIMMLE STANDING OUTSIDE THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR WITH THE SLEDGEHAMMER?!”

“It’s nothing, dear. Finish your peas, then help your father clear the table. There’s no need for the hammer, Beatrice. The door’s open. Come on in and join us if you like.”

“Gertrude, you weasel. Did you think the news wouldn’t get back to me? Did you think I’d just let you get away with it?”

“Get away with what, Bea? Why, I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Oh ho ho, don’t you play coy with me. I thought I made myself perfectly clear when you and your rabble first moved into this neighborhood. I throw the fancy dinner parties around here. ME. Not you.”

“Well, I wouldn’t really call it a ‘fancy’ dinner party. It was rather a lovely little get together, though.”

“Oh, I heard. Your meal was quite the talk of the knitting circle, you treacherous minx. Everyone just went on and on about the food, the wine, and the witty conversation. I might have believed it was ‘just a get-together’ if Marsha hadn’t mentioned the flatware.”

“Really? Did she mention the Oneida 65 Piece Flatware Collection I purchased? She is so thoughtful! I really had a hard time choosing between the Stafford or the Chandler sets. Both came with place settings for 12, including serving spoon and fork, sugar spoon, butter knife, and pierced serving spoon. And all in a gorgeous wooden caddy, unlike some other, more low-grade sets. Your set, for instance.”

“YOU DARE MOCK MY FLATWARE?!”

“Well, you know, the Stafford or Chandler set isn’t just some super-mega-ultra bargain store buy. These are the kind of sets you find at Macy’s. These are finely crafted 18/0 stainless steel. Dishwasher safe, too. And what a steal! In comparison to other flatware sets at the price, these definitely come out on top. It was so hard to choose whether to grab the modern design of the Stafford or the classically European look of the Chandler, I just bought both! So, while maybe you USED to be the Dinner Party Queen of Parkwood Terrace, that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer. Funny how times change.”

“THEY MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT, GERTIE. Not around here. You want to serve twelve people with high-quality flatware, you have to go through me first.”

“Huh. Well, then, how do you think we should best settle this? Dueling Dinner Parties? Death By Chocolate?”

“Oh, no. You’re not getting off that easy. We’re going old school. Bake-off. High noon. Lyndon B. Johnson Gymnasium. Let’s finish this little rivalry once and for all.”

TrueFire Gourmet Cedar Grilling Plank – 12 PackTrueFire Gourmet Cedar Grilling Plank – 12 Pack

For a Taste of The Good Life

Get Wood

No wood says “I’ve arrived” like cedar does, man.

I mean, sure, your mahoganies and your cherries are nice. But those woods are for, like, the Louis XVI fauteuils that’ve been in your family for generations. They’re old-money woods. They’re not how you say you finally made it; they’re how you say your great-great grandfather made it, and you’ve been reaping the benefits since.

No, for the bourgeois striver looking for a shoe tree to maintain the shape of his sensible wingtips; for the young couple wondering what to fill their yellow lab’s bed with; for the family who just traded up to a larger home and needs to remodel the closets with something moth-resistant; for anyone who’s ever gotten it into his head to spread mulch around some marigolds—cedar is where it’s at.

Plus, you know that the cedar groves of Lebanon are where the gods live, according to the Epic of Gilgamesh? Totally true.

(Totally true, that is, that it says so in Gilgamesh. Not that any gods actually live there.)

Anyway, so now guess what else about cedar? You can freaking COOK on the stuff. I KNOW, RIGHT? This is what you’ve always dreamed of. This is cedar living.

Imagine the almost paralyzingly intense envy your neighbors will experience when they see you grilling chicken or veggies or whatever it is you grill on a six-ounce plank of 100 percent natural untreated Western Red Cedar. It will blow their minds. Their skulls will probably rupture.

“Come on over and enjoy some wild-caught salmon!” you’ll say. “It’s plank-grilled for moistness and infused with a delicious, smokey cedar flavor! Plus it’s seasoned with an all-natural blend of Mediterranean spices! Because these things are important to me as a Woot shopper!”

But all they’ll hear is “I’M GRILLING ON CEDAR. I AM SO MUCH BETTER THAN YOU.”

They’ll decline the invitation, claiming they’ve already got casserole in the oven. Ha! CASSEROLE. How perfectly provincial! Their loss.

Oh, and then your clean-up is super-easy too, since the plank keeps all the grease and crud off your actual grilltop. So you’ll be laughing over old-fashioneds and a game of Scattergories on the patio while they’re still washing dishes next door.

They might be at it all night. Nothing’s harder to clean than baked-on casserole crust. You have to soak that.

Features:

• Cook fish, veggies, meats or fruit on a cedar plank right on your grill
• 100 percent natural untreated Western Red Cedar wood
• Smokey cedar flavor from the plank is infused into the food when cooking
• Plank grilled foods are moist and flavorful
• Keeps your grill top clean, cooks directly on the cedar plank
• Dimensions: (L) 12” x (W) 7” x (H) .375”
• Weight- 1 plank: 6 oz

Instructions:

• Soak Plank: Submerge in water for 30 minutes to 3 hours
• Grill: Arrange seasoned food on plank and place directly onto medium-low grill. No need to turn most foods. Cook to your preference
• Planks will get hot
• Keep a spray bottle of water nearby in case of flare-up. Don’t be alarmed, just spritz flame and continue grilling
• Always keep an eye on the BBQ

Leapfrog Didj Custom Educational Gaming SystemLeapfrog Didj Custom Educational Gaming System

You Didj It Your Way

Here comes Leapfrog Didj to teach the four Rs: readin’, ‘ritin’, ‘rithmetic, and repurposing handheld devices.

To honest, good-hearted, law-abiding people, the Leapfrog Didj exists to help kids from 6 to 10 learn math and spelling. With its GameBoy/DS-style gameplay, games that are actually fun (like the included JetPack Heroes math game), and customization kit including two skins and a wraparound jelly case, the Didj is the rare educational toy that actually succeeds as a toy.

But in the twilight world of the hacker underground, the Leapfrog Didj’s sole purpose is to be hacked into a handheld Linux device. These dastardly, soldering-iron-wielding fiends care nothing for its colorful times-tables lessons. All they want is to warp its essential nature to serve their sordid, illegitimate ends. If we knew a little more about technology, we could tell you what those ends are. But if the network-TV crime dramas we’ve seen are any indication, they’re probably illicit. And they probably involve energy drinks.

So choose your path wisely: toward the Didj’s virtuous educational goals? Or toward the nefarious, nihilistic, probably tattooed demimonde of those who hack? If you choose the first, you’ll give your child a major boost in mastering essential skills. If you choose the second, could you maybe come back and explain it to us? It kinda sounds like fun.

Warranty: 90 Day Leapfrog

Age Range: 6 to 10 years

Grade: 2nd – 4th

Features:

• Play and learn your way with the DIDJ™ custom gaming system, combining video game fun with core school skills for 1st to 4th grade players (6-10 years)
• Customize the gameplay by creating your own DIDJ avatars (or Didjis) and downloading new features (or Micromods) to make it your game
• Customize the learning included in each game by downloading your own spelling list or choosing the skills that you are studying in school
• Shape the learning online by choosing the math, language arts and spelling skills you want to practice. Multiplication hard to master? Choose to be quizzed on specific times tables, such as the 6s, 7s and 8s tables. Spelling a stumbling block? Create a custom spelling list from the 10,000-word database and study for next week’s test
• Earn points as you play, and trade them for cool downloads to make each game your own. Moves, sound effects, backgrounds, music – if you’ve got the points, you call the shots. You can even create and play as your own Didji character in the online Didjerator
• Earn Badges for in-game achievements, such as finishing a level or answering 10 correct questions in a row
• Each Badge is worth a particular number of Bitz, or points, that can be traded to customize any DIDJ™ game
• JetPack Heroes included for free, teaches and reinforces mathematics skills for 1st through 4th grade players (ages 6-10) including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Play at your grade level or use the LEAPFROG Connect Application to customize the mathematics skills you want to learn

Bushnell ONIX 350 Color Handheld GPS with Georeferenced MapsBushnell ONIX 350 Color Handheld GPS with Georeferenced Maps

Family Business

Jacob sat there at the mountain summit next to his backpack and sighed.

“You know, Grandma,” he said, “when you told the family there on your deathbed that you had always wanted to see the world from a mountaintop, everyone else chalked it up to the medication talking. Not me, though. I knew right then that this was something I had to do.”

He took a deep breath and gazed out over the horizon. “You were right. The air is so much cleaner up here. And the world seems so much more peaceful, too. The sense of calm I feel is simply astounding. For the first time in my life, I feel like I am truly at ease.

“To think, without your gentle nudging, I’d have never bought this Bushnell ONIX 350 GPS with Georeference and made the trip. The extra-large 3.5” full color LCD screen made it easy to view the trail and, with the Bushnell-exclusive screen-layering, I could keep all my navigational aids right there on the screen, ensuring that I wouldn’t get lost. Heck, with the TruView Navigation that references landmarks around me to those on the LCD, I felt like I was one of those pioneers you were always on about in the breaks between your soap operas.

“Gosh, I wish you had thought of this years ago, Grandma. This trip would’ve been a whole lot different if you weren’t dead. It’s a shame that this is all I could do for you.”

Jacob unzipped his backpack then and removed the large glass jar inside. With a few shakes, he was able to get the eyeballs floating inside to point in the same direction, and then he held them out towards the horizon.

“There you go, Grandma. Have a good look.”

TiVo Series 3 High Definition 250GB THX Certified DVRTiVo Series 3 High Definition 250GB THX Certified DVR

On The Couch

I first met Tivo not long after my wife and I split up. With the coming of Tivo began the real start of my life.

You can’t understand the freedom that I found out there unless you’ve been there yourself. It’s everything, it’s all, it’s some wild Buddha dressed as Dennis Hopper leaping around that you would have missed because you were taking a nap but somehow your Tivo knew you’d want it. It’s like being a child, and getting sent to your room on Thanksgiving, after the vegetables but before the pie, and then hearing a knock and your window and seeing the face of your best friend who saved you half of his and even some chocolate ice cream that wasn’t all the way melted. You can’t be alone, man, not when you’re watching all that exists.

My TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR led me into a world that unfolded from the very navel of Ganesh, as far as I understand the Indian mythologies based on that one class I took at NYU. I saw into the infinite, like some digital hobo, jumping on the trains of Netflix, Blockbuster, Amazon, YouTube making demands and getting my way, at all hours, any time I wanted. And the parties! The hot limitless parties! One night I heard the swingingest sounds I ever heard and walked barefoot to the door that led to the room in which I knew the Tivo most often laid. There it was, unexpectedly on the coffee table, surrounded by strangers that already knew me as a friend. “Sal!” they called me over, and I went like it was some kind of dream. Which it turned out to be, because I was sleepwalking, and my TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR was just streaming Live365 Radio because I just plain forgot to turn it off. But that’s the kind of life we had in that little apartment above Times Square. Until we got evicted for leaving our Live365 stream cranked up all night and making it sound like every night was a wild party.

The last time I saw TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR was the night I had tickets to see a classic movie at the art theater downtown. “Aw, Sal,” said TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR, “I got access to Season Pass Recordings, remember? I got access to all the over-the-air signals and am also cable ready! Hey, let’s go like we used to, let’s plug in and REALLY go, huh? You and me, on the couch, all night long!”

“Gee, TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR,” I said. “I sure wish my girl didn’t already have these tickets.”

TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR nodded, but didn’t seem to understand. I didn’t understand myself. I guess maybe TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR was more truly refurbished than me. I was just the viewer. He was the one that brought the content from any number of entertainment choices right to me, without my having to do any work at all. And I saw him out the back of that rain-stained car window as we drove away, thinking “He’ll be all right.” but never truly knowing.

And so, when the prime time starts, and in New Jersey someone is watching the baseball game two hours late, and in Iowa where they fast forward through commercials, and on the coast where someone is walking home from the dock to watch a whole season of Seaquest in one night, I think of TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR, I think of old refurbished TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR, I think of TiVo Series 3 HD THX Certified 250GB DVR.

Woot USB Flashing Police LightsWoot USB Flashing Police Lights

Bad boys, bad boys…

Officers of the Law: Dallas

Y’know, the office is usually pretty quiet. Every once in awhile, though, I’ve got to light these Woot USB Flashing Police Lights up and rain on someone’s crime parade. Most of the time it’s small stuff: paperclips go missing, pens walk off, you know.

Sometimes, though, it gets serious. I’m talking coffee pot not refilled, lunches eaten, real deal serious stuff. Once, at an office party, I had a 503: butt on a photocopier. Had to call in for backup, but after a pretty tense standoff we were able to bring in the perp.

Oh, man, I just got an email: we’ve got a 298 in progress. Someone’s taking the last cruller from the breakroom!

Let’s roll.

Warranty: 90 Day Woot Limited Warranty

Features:

• Each light has its own ON/OFF switch
• You can run just red, just blue, or both together
• No batteries needed, just connect USB cable to your computer for power

Check it out, Larry! A Westinghouse SK-26H735S 26” LCD HDTV! A real, live, Westinghouse! It’s like we own an Airstream trailer or an old Ford Fairlane or something! I can just see us smoking Chesterfield cigarettes, you smelling of Aqua Velva, and watching the DuMont network together on this!

Mad Men is going to look so authentic on this! Well, sure, I guess the 16:9 aspect ratio and 1080i HDTV will make it really pop off the screen, but I just meant it’ll be on a Westinghouse! Like it was in the old days!

I’m going to get some Utz potato chips! Be right back!
