Halloween Nerds
I mean the Nerds candy not the geeky guys knocking on the door. Wonka Nerds have four Halloween candies each in its own test tube topped with a scary monster. The Mummy Makeover is filled with white Nerds, which are fruit punch flavored, but taste a lot like Smarties (remember Smarties?). Then there’s Werewolf Morph…

Counting Catwomen
In the season opener of Big Bang Theory we find Sheldon staying over at Howard’s because he cannot keep a secret Penny told him from Leonard. Once settled in bed Sheldon begins to ramble about Catwoman due to the Halle Berry Poster over Howard’s bed. Here’s their conversation. After this I will give my list…

Haunted Bird Feeder v1.3
Well, I think the ole haunted bird feeder is finally complete (mostly). I have a few finishing touches still, but for all intents and purposes it is pretty much done at this point. I addedd the mini strobe to the interior that I had talk about in a previous post and added a bunch of…

Walk for the Animals and the Walktoberfest
Today was the big day for the Berks Humane Society. It was their annual Walk for the Animals and Walktoberfest. This year it was held at the First Energy Stadium home of the Reading Phillies because it outgrew all its previous venues. The turn out was great and really big crowd of dogs and their…

Is There a Soy Free Mayo? No Way-O.
I cannot tell you how hard it is to live a soy free life. Even when your life depends on it. Two years ago I discovered I was allergic to soy when my Dad gave me a glass of Silk Chocolate soy milk. I really liked the taste, but by the end of the glass…

Review: Fly Fusion Pentop Computer
LeapFrog FLY Fusion Pentop Computer is more than just a digital pen. It is an educational tool as well. It is made by Leapfrog so we adults that are using it sometimes feel like we are using a kid’s toy more than a productive piece of equipment. I would say that the fly fusion is…

I Want It Wednesday: Livescribe Pen
Digital pens are so cool. I first saw the livescribe pen at Target and boy does it look sweet (I am writing this using the fly fusion digital pen), The Livescribe Pulse Smartpen looks to be more geared to college students and business people over the LeapFrog FLY Fusion Pentop Computer. Live scribe also records…

Boston Legal Back But Not For Long
I was very sad to see that Boston Legal will be ending after this season. This was the only TV series I was really waiting for all summer. Bummer. Guess I will have to enjoy Denny Crane as much as possible this season while I can. The premiere wasn’t all that special, but it was…

Worst Week is Worst Series
Worst Week was the worst series premiere so far. I think it just might keep that title too. It was actually painful to watch. It was very predictable and not in the least bit funny. The characters weren’t the least bit interesting or compelling. At least CBS thought ahead and stuck this at the end…

Dreams of Theaters, Bikers and Lesbians oh my
I just had one of the weirdest dreams. But then again what dream isn’t a bit strange? I am in a hotel room with about three other people. I think they are friends or family, but I never identify them in the dream I only feel familiar with them. We are on computers, working, playing…

Arrr Talk Like A Pirate Today or Walk The Plank
Well blow me down, apparently today is the official International Talk Like a Pirate Day. This little known holiday started all the way back in 1995 while a group of guys were playing racquetball and one of the yelled out in pain “Arrrr!” Personally, I did not become aware of this holiday until someone at…

Another Bomb Scare in West Chester
Folks in West Chester are still a little jumpy after the bomb scare yesterday. Apparently another suspicious bag was found near a park bench today. Turned out to be a bag of clothing, but you never know. Better safe than sorry right? Makes me a little leery of shopping at Radio Shack. Just yesterday I…
