Review: Banjo Brothers Commuter Backpack

I’ll preface this article with the simple statement that I am somewhat of a bag whore, I like bags for specific purposes and they continue to pile up, but they all get used!
More then a year ago I picked up road cycling and shortly thereafter I started to commute to work by pedaling.  There are [...]

Exclusive Interview with Oderus Urungus of Gwar by Markus Goldman

This is a guest post by Markus Goldman, a DJ at WMMR in Philadelphia.

Review: Gallerific WordPress Theme | The Relaunch of MikePanic.com

Last month I installed WordPress and theme for Juliart Photographics, a photographer who wanted a clean, simple site with a manageable back end so she could do updates herself.  She had no need for a blog but that doesn’t mean that WordPress wasn’t the best choice for a back end for her needs.  A premium [...]

iPhone App Review: hExistentialism

There’s thousands of applications for iPhones that for the most part I think are useless and a waste of time. With the exception of me checking my Facebook and Myspace, of course.
