Into the Wilderness… Goodbye, Y’all
I have a lot of different emotions writing this last article, but it’s really time I put some closure to this deal: Electrogent is over. I started this silly thing in September 2011, over three...
Lucky Tiger Face Wash
It’s been a while since I reviewed a face wash, and I’m glad to have gotten back into the swing of things again with Lucky Tiger. If you don’t know Lucky Tiger, you probably should. Founded in the 1920’s, Lucky Tiger started in the Missouri basement of a barber and amateur scientist by the name...
The Kraken Black Spiced Rum
Sometimes, you just feel like a pirate. You know, typical Wednesday, out plundering and looting, and what better way to end your day than with some rum. But you’re not just any pirate, you’re a pirate of discerning taste–so you want something other than a light run-of-the-mill rum. So what do you do? You turn...
Modern Dionysus: How Wine Aerators Work
So in my everlasting effort to take on more and more work, Apothic wines brought me on write for their new blog, Modern Dionysus. If you’re over 21 years old, go check out our most recent post about how wine aerators work. If you don’t know what a wine aerator is, it’s basically a replacement...
Pines Wheatgrass Smoothie
Up to this point, I have never ingested wheat grass (at least to my knowledge) in any form. If you don’t know about wheatgrass, it’s that grass you see at juice bars where the dude behind the counter starts cutting some, puts it in the blender, and then charges you $20. I’ve asked myself, “Why...
2 Gingers Irish Whiskey
2 Gingers Irish Whiskey is an up-and-coming whiskey that just recently expanded its availability into Texas in 2013. 2 Gingers is made in Ireland, but for a long time was only sold in Minnesota. Due to its local popularity the brand started to expand across the country, and for good reason. What makes this whiskey...
When Astronauts Return to Earth
I had studied astronomy, and I had studied cosmology, and fully understood that the molecules in my body and the molecules in my partners’ bodies and in the spacecraft, had been prototyped in some ancient generation of stars. In other words, it was pretty obvious from those descriptions we’re stardust. Well, that was pretty awesome,...
“Prince Avalanche” is Indie Movie Royalty
Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch (of “Into the Wild“) team up to comprise of what seems like exactly one-half of the total actors in this great movie, “Prince Avalanche.” This somber, humorous, and inspiring movie is about two guys whose job it is to paint stripes on East Texas roads. Alvin, played by Paul Rudd,...
Whoa, We Wrote 500 Articles
One day, in September 2011, I was bored. So bored that I wound up starting a website to play around with and serve as some sort of outlet to escape my stressful life as a law student. It was pretty pathetic at first: terrible layout, the simplest of logos, and an audience of zero humans....
The January 2014 Playlist
Ah, 2014–a new year, a new month, a new playlist. Let’s kick it off with Santoré and their track, “8 A.M.” This is a good intro to this month’s playlist which is heavy on the electronic stuff, and is a beautiful winter-sounding instrumental. Sit back and relax to the groove as it continues to build on...
Star Wax Original Pomade
Star Wax has clay, as you know, so what about their pomade? The clay was pretty solid; not the greatest ever, but not bad at all. What about the pomade? The Star Wax Original Pomade, first and foremost, is red. Why? Don’t ask questions. I absolutely hate that it’s red, and there’s no rational reason to...
Carved Redwood Burl iPhone Case
After a year of use, my leather iPhone case finally bit the dust. Well, not entirely, but the few cracks it had made it annoying enough to warrant a replacement. I always choose leather every chance I get, but I figured I would try something new for this new year. What’s the second-best choice after leather?...
Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense Cologne
Déjà vu, am I right? Well, kinda. Paco Rabanne apparently sold so much of their “1 Million” that they made an entirely new cologne called…basically the same thing. Paco Rabanne 1 Million Intense is an offshoot of their cologne, and seeing as I liked (and still enjoy) the original, I thought the version 2.0 would be...
