Scrabble, after Equalizer, is one of my favorite board games. I’ve never been really good at chess or checkers, so word games really became my specialty. One thing I don’t like to do while playing is having to turn my head just to read the word that the other players are forming. It’s [...]

I know things like this Eton Axis Emergency Radio aren’t the coolest device and nobody wants to think about them; until of course you need one!  Recent power outages in the States and other disasters around the world made me think it would be a pretty good idea to have one handy; so I [...]
