In the Great Indoors, I Like to ‘Bag It Up
It arrived a week ago. I put it on and zipped up and saw myself in the full-length mirror, looking like the bastard offspring of Barney and Gumby, or scientist victim No. 4 from John Carpenter’s The Thing. Mummified in polyester, I marshaled my intestinal fortitude to confront the very first thought I had when…

The Rockus 3D 2.1 Speaker System Sounds Nice, But At What Cost?
When one thinks of quality computer speakers, several names come to mind: Logitech, Altec Lansing, Bose, and Creative Labs, to name a few. Soundscience isn’t a name that comes to mind.
