Do you like Tea? I love tea. A few years ago I got back into drinking tea on a fairly regular basis. If you like good tea, you don’t want to be picking up the run of the mill teabags that one usually finds in the grocery store. In fact, if you’re passionate about tea, […]

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor September 17, 2010 Follow Friday

Little is known about @GailCarriger‘s origins other than that she was raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable curmudgeon. And we only know that because that is what she tells us. Corroborating documentation is mysteriously missing. Or we didn’t bother to go look. One or the other.

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor September 8, 2010 Hardware

One of the products that I’m looking at for a future review is the Zoom H1 Handy Recorder that was just released in August and sold out almost immediately! I finally got a hold of mine after having my pre-order shipped, canceled, and then back-ordered. So I figured that I’d do an unboxing video to […]

by Doc Coleman - Nifty Tech Editor September 6, 2010 Feedback

August’s poll asked your opinion on the podcast series of review that I’ve been doing in conjunction with Tee Morris and Bird House Rules.
