  • Was driving down the road with my wife and came to a stop light. We both witnessed a lone potato rolling down the street through the intersection at a pretty good clip. We both looked at each other, making sure we were seeing what we were seeing and busted out laughing.

    I have absolutely no clue where it came from, and to this day remains one of the most random things I’ve seen and NOONE ever believes me when I mention it.




  • 2 questions, what’s your budget, and do you want a separate amp?

    I scored an Edifier pair of powered speakers (no amp needed) for 15 bucks at goodwill. You can find them on sale on Amazon for as low as $100-200 every now and then. I was pleasantly surprised at how full and clear the speakers are. Great for tight on space/budget.

    Another great budget option with more bass are the THX Logitech computer speaker 2.1set w/ sub (another set not needing an amp). I have a set that’s at least 20 years old and sound crazy good for sub $200 price point.

    My other setup is a really nice Revel Concerta floor standing set with SVS sub, the complete opposite of budget and space saving. So I’ll leave the midrange w/ amp options to someone else.





  • You joke, but I literally came across this. I HATE that I had to connect my window unit to the net, but we have a lot of brownouts in the area, and it allows me to restart the AC if I’m away, or else my pups would cook during the summer if it didn’t turn on. The AWS outage hit, and I couldn’t log in to the app that controls it to turn it on. Luckily, it’s not peak summer and it didn’t get too warm by the time I got home.
