Do your run poker tournaments at home? Do you also play in these tournaments? If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to both questions, you know how much work it can be to keep track of time, blinds, and everything else while still trying to concentrate on playing poker. The Poker Ace Portable Tournament Director (PTD) will make [...]

Anti-Glare Film Set for iPhone
January 18, 2008 – 12:59 am
The Anti-Glare Film Set from Power Support is a must have for iPhone owners. The regular price is $14.95, but I bought mine yesterday at the MacWorld Expo for $10 out-the-door.
Two “films” come in the package. They are easy to remove, can be cleaned, and reused. The film isn’t sticky or “shrink wrapped” onto the [...]
Reviewing 2007 Golf Goals
December 16, 2007 – 12:30 pm
As 2007 comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to review golf goals from 2007. They were:
Keep my 9 hole scores starting with a 3 or 4. I don’t want to reach the half-century mark again this year.
Break 80.
Get a hole in one. (When isn’t this a goal for a golfer?)
Break 40 more consistently.
Keep [...]
Ocean's 13
June 26, 2007 – 9:08 am
I really enjoyed Ocean’s Eleven when it came out and thought Ocean’s Twelve was good too. So when I saw Ocean’s 13 was next in line I knew I’d have to see it.
Went last night with Tom because it was too damn hot to do anything else around the house or outside. We both enjoyed [...]
Pistol: The Life of Pete Maravich
May 23, 2007 – 5:43 pm
“Pistol” Pete Maravich was the greatest college basketball player to ever play the game. The “Pistol” was a guard and he averaged over 40 points a game throughout college before there was ever a 3 point line. He had a great shot and actually made a lot of shots which would have easily been worth [...]
Review: G.R.I.P 460cc Beta Titanium Driver
May 8, 2007 – 7:13 pm
Golf Research In Play (G.R.I.P) announced a new 460cc Beta Titanium Driver at the end of April and I jumped all over the chance to review one.
Specifications
The driver sells for $129.95 which is nearly giving the club away for free compared to the prices of similar drivers on the golf market which usually sell for [...]
Review: 300
April 12, 2007 – 12:43 pm
I went to see 300 at an IMAX the week it came out. We drove from Saginaw all the way to Lansing one night after work, which put the total drive time around 3 hours. That’s a lot of driving to see a movie when I could have went 2 miles down the road from [...]
Review: Card Golf
October 10, 2006 – 8:37 am
Card Golf mirrors the game of golf to a tee. The rules, the golf clubs and even the world’s top golf courses have been condensed into this fun, easy to play and addicting card game. It’s golf in a box. So if you or someone you know is into golf, or if you want to [...]
Review: G.R.I.P Sweetness Putter
August 2, 2006 – 10:40 am
I received the G.R.I.P Sweetness Putter a few weeks ago from Rob at Golf Research in Play and The Savvy Golfer. I was impressed with the look and feel of the putter as soon as I took it out of the box. I used it around the living room for a bit, but knew I [...]
Review: Gillette Fusion Power
July 21, 2006 – 9:13 am
On the recommendation of my friend Casey I bought the Gillette Fusion Power about a month ago. This razor is a work of art.
Shaving has always been one of my least favorite things to do, but the Fusion Power is literally “changing the face of shaving.” Your first reaction might be that five blades is [...]
Review: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
July 17, 2006 – 9:46 am
I enjoyed the original The Fast and the Furious, but thought 2 Fast 2 Furious was a bit far-fetched, especially the end scene with the boat landing on the yacht. So going into the third movie, Tokyo Drift, I wasn’t sure what to expect, which is exactly the reason I waited until the movie hit [...]
Review: Superman Returns
July 17, 2006 – 9:28 am
I saw Superman Returns on opening night and am finally getting around to a review. The movie was up to my expectations going in. There was a good story and a lot of action. The length of the movie was a bit long and I thought a few parts could have been cut out to [...]
Review: Brush Tee
May 11, 2006 – 11:50 am
I had always wanted to try out the Brush Tee, so when The Savvy Golfer sent me a package of them for testing, I was all for it. The whole idea makes a lot of sense…less resistance against your ball and club at contact and the ball will fly longer.
Last week while golfing a round [...]
Review: TurfTee
May 6, 2006 – 6:57 am
“TurfTee is a revolutionized way of hitting golf balls versus the old fashioned rubber tees.” The idea behind the tee is great in theory and something I’ve always wished for. Hitting off the standard rubber tees at a driving range has never been one of my favorite ways to practice and never will. With TurfTee [...]
Review: United 93
April 30, 2006 – 6:50 pm
This year will be the 5th anniversary of the tragedies which occurred on September 11, 2001. No one living in the United States can say they’ve forgotten what happened on 9/11, but it’s far enough in the past where a movie could be released about the event. United 93 is the story of the only [...]
Testing the Xbox 360
November 15, 2005 – 2:11 pm
If I wasn’t excited before, I am after reading an early review of the Xbox 360.
Football Replay Systems
October 2, 2005 – 2:54 pm
Each weekend, millions of people tune in to watch college and NFL football. The game of football is played at a fast pace with referees making crucial decisions about penalties, ball spots, turnovers, and scores. There isn’t a human being in the world who can make these split-second decisions without making a mistake now and [...]
Review: Crash
September 30, 2005 – 10:22 am
Movies like Crash are what keep me watching different movies all the time. This is not your typical movie where good guys win over bad guys and we have a happy ending.
Crash is a modern day tale of morality. The entire movie is based on racism in the lives of people from different backgrounds and [...]
Review: Catch Me If You Can
September 22, 2005 – 10:54 pm
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, but way back when I first saw previews and clips for Catch Me If You Can, I was interested to see the movie.
I thought the movie was a good fit for Leonardo and I actually enjoyed his acting. The role was a [...]
Review: iPod nano
September 20, 2005 – 11:46 pm
Most of my friends had iPods. I didn’t. I didn’t want to haul around the mp3 playing brick. I was holding out for something smaller. I was excited when the iPod Mini came out, but still wasn’t too impressed. Around the 1st of September I read a press release explaining that Apple would be making [...]
