I have never been involved with anyone to date, but if I ever did it would have to be with someone at least as geeky as myself. Wouldn't work otherwise. Problem is finding someone like that. And getting over my ridiculous levels of shyness to even talk with her. It sucks being a social nitwit. I'd use the R word,…

I purchased a 5 mW green laser from this company and had questions about shipping. I called their number several times, no one ever answered. Email went similarly unanswered. No one ever called back. I eventually got my green laser, and it is OK (not the build quality I was expecting) and would never purchase from…

I slowed it down by a…

This is my favorite app for the iPad thus far. It's well conceived and brilliantly executed. I am always amazed at people who want an app that is not available in any way for any other device for little to no money, when a lot of time and effort (not to mention unlimited free updates) have gone into making it.

Ya know, when a giant tumor destroyed my pituitary, ridding me of any interest in women, it was the best day in my life. Gone was the stress, the frustration and the aggravation. Gadgets may not be sexually satisfying (Unless you buy some very specialized gadgets, I guess), but they are certainly a lot less…
