I subscribe to a service called Tasting Room done by Lot18. Lot18 is a website that peddles wines.  I got into it because sometimes I was able to snag bottles of wine for ~$0.98. I ended up subscribing to Tasting Room, which is a service that sends you a case …

BlackMilk is my favorite Geek-clothing website.  I’ve spent a little too much money on outfits there. That’s my Space Invader dress. Usually with Black Milk, I have to be quick because they run out of dresses in their US store pretty quickly.  But they just merged their Australian store with …

What happens when you ask your wife if there’s anything you can do to help and she says yes, post on the blog.  A guest post from Dr. Bill. One of my favorite times being on a plane is when circumstances force me to spend a few hours away from …

I’m a customer of Grubhub.  They are what I use when I’m guilty of ordering a little too much take out. Despite already making a light dinner, I was intrigued by the Game of Thrones promo email they sent me. Here’s what they promised: Grubhub has joined forces with HBO NOW …

This past summer, I took a cruise that had a few days out at sea.  What that meant for me was no cell service. And as a compulsive Tweeter, a total shock to how I work. As the ship pulled away from the shore, my cell phone signal got weaker …

While travel is definitely one of my hobbies, I’ve learned that my other hobbies can conflict with each other. I’m also into acting and singing. Tonight was the second to last night in a show that I’ve been in for two years.  (Holy cow!) But onward and upward! I’ve also done other …

I just saw this on Amazon and purchased it quickly: A Reusable Foldable Wine Bag for Wine to Go This non-glass carrier can be taken anywhere glass isn’t allowed.  It fits a whole wine bottle and comes with a funnel to fill the bag.  (And it is reusable).  It is marked down …

Today, I was stuck in really, really bad traffic on I-66.  For those whole live in the area, you know I-66’s normal status is hellish.  This was enough for a regular I-66 commuter to call it really bad. Now, Virginia is an interesting place because it is REALLY cheap to …
