Farewell, Earthbound
Why am I saying my goodbyes to this awesome RPG? After munching some numbers, selling it was a necessity towards my goal of financial freedom. That’s right, I sold my physical copy of the Super Nintendo classic. Forgive me.

Amateur Radio Shows Steady Yearly Growth And Nick Can Suck Eggs (Rotten Ones, Too!)
When most people think of Amateur Radio, also known as “Ham Radio”, they think of a bunch of dusty old codgers sitting in front of a wall of wires and short circuiting old microphones, talking about the good old days and how they can’t stand the next door neighbor’s kid’s saggy pants.

Cisco Kills Flip
Three years ago, I got a bunch of people together to film Achievements; Sam showed up with a chunky little camera with a display slightly larger than a postage stamp.
