Once a week, we have Fancy burger.Night. We take a pound of lean ground beef and try to make it the unleanest thing we’ll eat all week. And that right there, that was my husband’s latest contribution, The Eggs Benedict Burger.

It’s part breakfast, part dinner, and part 75% arterial blockage. Okay maybe it isn’t that terrible for you…

Crispy bacon, a poached egg, and a spoonful of dreamy hollandaise sauce top a plain burger. Okay, it’s definitely that terrible for you.

Steak Fries

steakhouse fries 028 Steak Fries

When we lived in East Nashville what now seems like ages ago, every now and then, we’d stop by this Meat and Three right down the road from our house for some serious soul food. I always went in with an open mind to try something new on her menu, but when it came time to order, I’d inevitably cave and order the same thing with the same side – her wonderful fries. Thick, Texas-sized wedges of russet potatoes that were reverently lowered into hot oil and fried until they were nice and crispy on the outside and creamy and tender on the inside. My version is baked, not fried. And the results? Sensational. The perfect side for a juicy steak. Or a thick cheeseburger. Or with chicken nuggets. Or with fish sticks. Or by themselves, enthusiastically dunked in some spicy ketchup. Or in some ranch dressing. Or blue cheese dressing! Well, you get the picture.

The Act Is An Incredibly Humorous Original Comedy Filled With Lovable Characters

August 1st, 2012 David No comments

from app Advice by Daniel Douvris

image 110 642x428 The Act Is An Incredibly Humorous Original Comedy Filled With Lovable Characters

mza 7744009351931934541.100x100 75 The Act Is An Incredibly Humorous Original Comedy Filled With Lovable Charactersthe Act ($2.99) by Chillingo Ltd is an original Comedy that will have you hooked from the opening scene.

Step into the shoes of Edgar, a window washer who falls into a tricky situation when his brother falls asleep on the hospital bed of a patient waiting to undergo a brain transplant. As you progress through the interactive scenes, you need to save your brother, save your job, and try to woo the woman of your dreams.

image 310 300x200 The Act Is An Incredibly Humorous Original Comedy Filled With Lovable CharactersThe Act features completely hand-drawn artwork. Although it isn’t Retina resolution, it truly is beautiful and it is coupled with some really funny (and smooth) animations. The artwork and animations combined give the characters a ton of personality, allowing you to be pulled into the story.

As a story, The Act is incredible. The plot is engaging, and it keeps you on your toes as you don’t really know what is going to happen until it does.

As a game, The Act is fun, yet not quite what you would expect. Similar to games like Dragon’s Lair, at certain points in the game you are given control of Edgar. Your job is to control Edgar’s actions and facial expressions by sliding your finger left and right on the screen.

Sliding your finger to the edges of the screen will result in extreme actions, like slapping people in the back or staring awkwardly at people and showing off dance moves. These actions will make Edgar stick out like a sore thumb (which could be good depending on the moment). Keeping your finger close to the center will ensure that Edgar performs less noticeable actions, like smiling or scowling.

image 49 300x200 The Act Is An Incredibly Humorous Original Comedy Filled With Lovable CharactersThe controls may be simple, but the real trick is figuring out when to make Edgar act, and how he should act. To give away a small portion of the story (no spoiler here), Edgar sneaks into a hospital by dressing up like a doctor. From this point forward, you have to act like a doctor and try to fit in. As Chillingo says, “Keep up the act!”

Considering the story, the characters, the artwork, and the interactive nature of the game, The Act is fun and engaging. While it isn’t a traditional game in any sense, it is still enjoyable to say the least. The Act provides a story and cast that you can fall in love with, and while the gameplay elements are minimal, they were implemented well, and that is what makes a game fun.

The Act beckons with its artwork and story, its brotherly duo (very similar to the two main characters in “Of Mice and Men”), and its simple gameplay. Some players will inevitably complain that it is not a “game,” but such gamers will not be appreciating what The Act does offer. Take The Act for what it’s worth, and you will have a product that is worth your time and money. I’m keeping up the act, can you?

Help Kickstart The CordLite And Never Be Caught In The Dark Again

July 12th, 2012 David No comments

from App Advice by A.T. Faust III

photo full1 Help Kickstart The CordLite And Never Be Caught In The Dark Again

I don’t know about you, but by the time my Apple kit runs out of gas, it’s almost always the darkest part of the day (literally, not metaphorically — I’m not that much of a loser!) While I’m usually able to plug in my iThings before they cut off completely, sometimes I push the envelope and find myself flying blind towards the charger. But even if I successfully navigate past all my scattered gym equipment, dirty dishes, and mounds of crumpled clothes, I’ve still got to fumble with that darned proprietary Apple plug. My iPad and iPhone have the scratches to prove it.

That’s why I’m so interested in the CordLite from Scrap Pile Labs.

Having recently launched a Kickstarter campaign, the aptly-named CordLite is your typical 30-pin connector with a not-so-typical 30-pin trick: It lights up!

Popout

Utilizing a capacitive plug housing and some front-facing LEDs, the CordLite throws off a few muted lumens every time you pick it up, ensuring perfect docking even in the (battery) dead of night. Why didn’t I think of that? Heck, why didn’t you?

Oh well, no worries. We can all preorder one right now by heading over to the cable’s Kickstarter page and pledging $30.

Use Mayonnaise to Clean Crayon “Art” From Your Walls

July 11th, 2012 David No comments

original Use Mayonnaise to Clean Crayon “Art” From Your Walls

Whether you have a little one who loves to play Picasso all over your walls in crayon, or you’re just watching a younger sibling or friend of family and they’ve all but wrecked the paint with a stick of Burnt Sienna, the fix may be as close as your fridge. Grab the mayo, we’re going to work.

The oils in the mayo do wonders to break down the wax in crayon. Just dab a little over the crayon lines, wait a few minutes, and then come back with a damp cloth. It may take a little pressure, but the mayo and the crayon should both come off in one fell swoop. that’s all there is to it.

If you still have trouble with that stuck on crayon, we’ve shown you how to remove it with bread, and even white vinegar, so take your pick for what works best for you. Have any other creative crayon removal tips? Share them in the comments below.

4″ Titanium Bullet Tweeter

July 4th, 2012 David No comments

btb43f 4 Titanium Bullet Tweeter

Model: BTB43F

Color: Black

technical pro is the first choice in quality parts for the audio engineer or sound designer that is building their own speakers. The engineers at technical pro know that in order to build a solid product you have to include today’s modem innovations and skilled craftsmanship for every component. There are no weak links in their chain!

The BTB43F 4” Titanium Bullet tweeter from technical pro is aligned with the concept of building a quality product with a long lasting design. The frame of the tweeter is made out of a superior die cast aluminum frame. Built in is a 45 oz. magnet and a 2” high temperature Kapton voice coil. Kapton is key here because it is a non-conductive material and is therefore not influenced by the eddy-current effect like aluminum, when situated in a magnetic gap. The bottom line is there is no mechanical resistance so you will hear a more pronounced break up when the sound rolls off. The sound will end as it is supposed to, naturally and you will hear the difference! The voice coil is Ferro Fluid enhanced voice coil. Ferro Fluid is a magnetic material which enables audio speakers to function more efficiently, with improved audio response and better power handling.

If you are setting up sound for your car, building speakers or building walls of sound in your studio or home, the BTB43F is the first choice in a professional tweeter. At a price that cannot be beat, this is the go-to tweeter for serious audio professionals!

Technical Pro’s groundbreaking new approach to industrial design incorporates advanced technology and striking good looks with rugged construction and a long list of features, providing years of audio enjoyment.
