Lemonade is an awesome summer drink, but sometimes you need just a little more. I recently wrote an article for Modern Dionysus about three awesome ways to take your lemonade. Summer is upon us, especially down south in Texas, and that can mean three things: watermelon, barbecue, and lemonade. If you aren’t partaking in these luxuries...
If you don’t know what a Mobius strip (named after August Mobius) is, you should first check it out–it’s worth it. After your mind is sufficiently blown, bring it back in and focus on this Osmium Mobius Belt. Much like the strip, the belt is one solid band (although what belt isn’t?) that connects in...
I’m starting a dangerous trend of making playlists with no commentary. Again, my apologies, but here you go. July 2014 playlist. What’s on your July 2014 playlist?
Y’all, for real, I don’t have time to write my cheesy descriptions and order these songs in increasing intensity this month. Sorry. However, I started this playlist off with Vic Mensa, and since I first heard this song I don’t think I’ve stopped hitting repeat. After that, just listen to the songs and rock/mellow out. Have...
I’ve reviewed a couple things from Kinivo in the past: a car bluetooth setup and a bluetooth speaker. Both products were fairly good, and I use the car bluetooth basically every day now–I can’t imagine not having it in my car. Given the past success of my Kinivo experiences, I thought that I would try out the...
Belts with holes are so 2013. While I’m by no means a fashion bellweather, Mission Belt Co. is pretty dang cool. Long story short, some folks got together and wanted to remake the idea of the belt. Their idea was to make a no-holed belt that uses a ratchet system, rather than a pin-in-the-hole system. The...
Pizza: if you don’t like it, I don’t like you. I recently wrote an article for Modern Dionysus about some tips for making your own pizza. See a snippet from the article below: If there’s one thing I love in life, it’s pizza. I’ve delivered it, cooked it, eaten it, and critiqued it. In fact, I...
There are so many great tracks out there right now, and I did my best to order this playlist by putting the slower/electronic tracks up front, and they’ll slowly progress into heavier tracks. If you want to hang around for the 71 minute ride, start from the beginning; otherwise, start from the bottom and go...
If you’re a fan of this website, it will come as no surprise that I wrote something about dystopian novels. Yesterday, Apothic Wines published an article I wrote about my favorite dystopian novels. Here’s a snippet: The dystopian genre is all the rage these days, especially as young teens and tweens crowd the theaters and...
It seems like you can buy anything custom/tailored over the internet these days: suits, shirts, pants, shoes, and now…ties? Peter Field fills the gap in the market and lets you pick your tie width, neck, and length size with just a few easy measurements. They sent me a tie so I could feel the fabric and...
The Lucky Tiger liquid cream shave is a glycerin-based shave cream, but not your typical glycerin shaving cream. The Lucky Tiger liquid shaving cream is a lighter shaving cream that doesn’t produce a huge lather, but more of a soft (liquidlike) shave cream. The first time I tried this, I used my brush and bowl...
I’m a big fan of ankle-high boots of all forms, due largely in part to the fact that I’m 6’6” and a lot of my pants hit higher than they would on other shorter fellows out there, and I’m not cool enough to pull off the sockless-with-suit-and-low-tops nonsense that is going around. I can appreciate keeping...
