Product Review: Motorola S11-Flex HD Wireless Headset
Written on June 24, 2014
in Media, Music, Product Reviews, Reviews

Considering that I’ve now bought this exact model twice, it seemed appropriate that I review it. Before you go getting the wrong idea in your heads: no, it didn’t break, fail, or otherwise suffer from performance issues. My dogs got out, I chased them down, and in the process, I dropped my
Book Review: Empire (Redemption Trilogy, Book 1)

One thing I love about ebooks is that the format allows authors to publish their books without the backing of a strong publishing house. They allow authors to distribute and promote their work even though they have limited resources. Authors can now make those limited resources go much further. One way authors will try

“It’s Betty and Veronica meet Breaking Bad. But With baking.” That’s how Jackie Crofts described Nutmeg ]to me at Indy Pop Con. It’s a tagline that certainly got my attention. Nutmeg is set in a high school, where we meet Cassia, the new girl at the school. We also meet her soon-to-be
Do Cable Shows Take Too Much Time Off Between Seasons?

In the past 5-10 years, cable networks have changed the playing field for how a tv season works. A show no longer needs to premiere in the fall, or consist of 22 episodes like on major networks. A cable show can premiere literally any time of the year, and generally consists of
Review: Halt And Catch Fire Premiere

NOTE: This review is relatively spoiler-free, touching on details that were found in trailers and commercials. AMC has been heavily promoting Halt and Catch Fire for months, especially during episodes of Mad Men. From the commercials, they make it very clear that it’s about a group of three people who set out to reverse

Over Memorial Day weekend, I, along with many geeks alike, was very excited to see X-Men: Days of Future Past. Being Memorial Day weekend, I was busy, and unable to see the movie until Monday. On Sunday, I went to pull up movie times, and found something very disturbing. The front page
Song Blog: Stars – The Theory of Relativity

One of the books I’ve been reading is Songbook by Nick Hornby. It’s basically the ultimate mix tape. It’s a compilation of songs, each with a few pages detailing out why the song is one of Hornby’s favorites. It’s a very cool idea, and a fun read. I was inspired to share some

It seems our little subculture is torn on The Big Bang Theory (the show, not the actual theory. We’re all agreed on the actual theory). We aren’t sure if it’s laughing at us, or with us. And people are firmly either in the love it or hate it camp. There seems to

Shortly after I posted about my foray into the world of vinyl, I was referred to a service called Vinyl Me, Please. Vinyl Me, Please is a “surprise a month” service for record collectors. You pay $23 ($27 after shipping, at least to Indianapolis) and they send you a record. In addition

Disclaimer: Sennheiser provided me with these headphones for review and giveaway, this in no way affected my review. The post does contain affiliate links, #FeedABlogger. Two weeks ago, tragedy struck. My beloved Panasonic RP-HTX7 headphones died after five years of loyalty (which really is pretty amazing for a pair of $30 headphones). Since I was
