Through some sort of amazing alignment of the stars, I was able to see three movies in the theater in three days. Some may say that excessive, but how else am I suppose to stay on top of pop culture? The First Purge Rating: ? I’m not a big horror fan, unless it is what I call smart horror. A… Read more →

Here’s a cheap fitness watch with notifications
At the beginning of February I read about an Apple Watch look-alike with a 45 day battery life that was available for $99. When I checked Amazon, it was $89, so I figured it was fate and I bought it.
