 | My first ebay case - would you be happy with this resolution? - Gaston on 5/21/13 at 2:00 pm
I bought a 'jambox' off of ebay. I researched it thoroughly, and most at the price I paid, 130, were factory refurbed and it said so on the box. This one said new and the name implied some sort of tech sales with a ton of positive feedback.
The jambox wasn't new, but appeared to be some sort of d...

| Anyone have a TDK 2 or 3 speaker 'boombox'? - Gaston on 5/9/13 at 11:44 am
Thinking of pulling the trigger but some of the reviews scare me. Electronics that have firmware updates seem nutty to me, outside of a phone or something you'd already be hooking up to a computer. They seem pretty cool for an iPod hookup. I'm looking for something to listen to outside and I like...

| Are plastic Yaks repairable? - Gaston on 5/6/13 at 10:02 am
I took out the yak this weekend for the kids but it was nothing more than a big plastic anchor. One end's busted pretty good. Got it home and noticed some damage, so I picked at a piece and it came right off. Now it's got a giant hole in it. Think the garbage man will pick this up? Should I jus...

So funny that you can get a giant cup of espresso here. A triple espresso from PJ's is surprisingly huge. This would be 14 shots in France. I'm going to swill this back and be weird as frick all afternoon.

| iPhone 4 modification gone wrong. - Gaston on 4/29/13 at 8:40 pm
Broke the sonofabitching glass installing the clear back on an iPhone 4S. This one was hard to find with the apple logo and real glass. For some reason the metal pin that held the last one on was broken off inside the phone and I cracked the new glass trying to get it to sit flush. Oh well. Off ...
