10 Reasons You Should Get a Bidet.

For probably the last 10 years or so at least one toilet in my house has had a bidet attachment. Currently all the toilets in my house have one. The one I recommend is the Ace HS Bidet which is less than $100 and very easy to install. I wouldn’t splurge for the warm water one as quite honestly, those particular nerves don’t notice the cold that much. And I say that as someone...

Handy Apps and Widgets for Android Phones

I have spent a lot of time over the last few days updating my new Motorola Droid 3 phone and in doing so I had to reconsider all the apps and widgets that I had on my old Droid and decide if they were worth putting on the new phone, as well as what new things I wanted to have.

I decided to compile a list of some of the apps and widgets that...

Review: Motorola Droid 3 First Impressions

A Shiny New Droid 3
(stock photo—not mine)

So my new Motorola Droid 3 arrived today. I’m still getting it set up and getting used to it so there will be an adjustment period where I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, but I’ll give my first thoughts about it for now.

Choosing a New Android Phone

I’ve had my original Motorola Droid for about a year and a half and the battery life is starting to decline rapidly, and the touchscreen is becoming finicky. And it’s going kind of slow. Now some of this may be because I rooted it and installed the Bugless Beast ROM on it, I’m not sure. But regardless, the phone was showing its age.

So I went to the Verizon store with my...

Game Review: Wise and Otherwise

Another game that gets your creative juices going is Wise and Otherwise, a game of proverbs. This game harkens back to the days of ancient sayings passed down through the ages from mother to son and from villager to villager.

Game Review: Dixit

I go to a gaming night every Thursday at a friend’s house. Typically anywhere from a dozen or so to up to thirty people show up to play board games and card games or even BUZZ: The Mega Quiz Bundle (a trivia gameshow on the Playstation). Having been exposed to many, many games through this...

Product Review: Droid Phone, first thoughts

I have had my new Verizon Motorola Droid phone since December 30—just over a week. I admit that I’ve barely scratched the surface of what the phone can do, but I wanted to give my initial thoughts on the phone.

I will give the bad news first. The phone is rather like a Volvo. It’s boxy and square and isn’t the most comfortable thing I’ve ever held. I bought a protective cover for it that actually...

Amazon Kindle 2 - Most Amazing Thing Ever

I’ve had my Kindle Wireless Reading Device for just about two weeks (graduation present!) and I have to say I could NOT live without it at this point. I love this thing so much I told my mother in law that I’d give up chocolate for it if I had to.

And it isn’t at all like reading off a...
