While most computers these days have at least some sort of memory card reader built in, you may still occasionally find yourself in possession of a card your machine can’t read. That’s why there’s still a market for those add-on multi-card readers. But one thing the almost all have in…

I’m all for green alternatives. Not green as in “envy” or green as in “cold hard cash,” but green as in “environmentally friendly.” The suits below are from Virus’ Stay Warm line and they’re as green as green can get: making use of recycled coffee beans to add an extra…

I’ve been off sugar for the second year in a row, but I can still remember how my mom used to chastise me for making lots of noise in the mornings when I stirred my tea when I was growing up. Spoons? That’s so 20th century! Get into the new…

No matter how hard I try, I can’t figure out how to turn the sides on this Rubik’s Cube. Maybe it’s the ceramic handle sticking out of the side of it, or maybe it’s the giant hole in the yellow side.…
