Xbox UK Black Friday deals
Speaking for myself I’m ready to pounce on Black Friday deals this year. If I had coordinated better this would have been my Christmas shopping day but, nope, I rolled a critical botch on my calendar skills.

I’ve a problem in my little writing den. I need some storage space but since it’s going to be plopped in the corner of the room it needs to look cool. I can’t just have a boring old blanket box. Unbox Industries’ impressive Alien Egg is a contender! [I need this now!] The motion activation […]

The new way to get Audible onto the Amazon Fire TV
I’ve an Amazon Fire TV. I don’t mean one of the popular Amazon Fire TV Sticks that compete with Google’s Chromecast; I mean the full-fledged Amazon Fire TV. I’m not sure why but they’re far less popular than the cutdown version and still safely well under a hundred bucks. I use my Amazon Fire TV […]

This video is from the AWE Artist Series and has Marissa Deal put together a steampunk R2-D2. This particular steampunk droid is also a fully functional kettle.
