Not so long ago, I made a purchase from the good folks at ThinkGeek. I purchased some very cool and very magnetic ‘Bucky Balls‘. They’re proving to be a great conversation starter and welcomed stress reliever… However, I’m ever mindful to keep them away from my gadgets (I suppose I should explain, Bucky Balls are…

When I was in junior-high, I played the trumpet… Horribly. While I enjoy music as much as the next guy, playing it (whether it was the trumpet, the piano or the guitar) never really added up to much for me. I was decent… but that’s where it ended. Thankfully, now that the old instruments have…
A late night quickie for all the BlackBerry Style users out there. If you think an OS update is in order, look no further. An official OS has dropped for your device, from the good folks at Reliance. Earlier today OS 6.0.0.436 dropped, and you can grab it right here. As per what seems to…
