We've written about Geami Packaging in the past (the laser-cut paper that Crate & Barrel uses for shipping), but we received a package in the office the other day that used a packing material new to us. ExpandOS are a fully recyclable option for protecting your stuff during shipping — and we're kind of obsessed... Unpacking the box, we immediately noticed how tightly the ExpandOS had settled and interlocked with each other — it was ...

I guess Mondo Primo are trying to push the edge of power pop and punk by being ballsy enough to call the new album "2FN HOT" (I'm sure one of these guys has it on a license plate). The group's sound is closest compared with Bowling For Soup with even more pop polish. Fans of Sloan will enjoy the opener "Overheated" which rocks hard and includes dreamy harmonies and minor chord changes. It plays like ...

Apple today released new versions of their iTunes software as well as updated versions of iPods. This release was hardly surprising and, as predicted, there wasn’t anything unexpected or widely diverging from the rumors that had been floating around the Internet. The take-aways are really fewer than I had expected. iTunes 8 is out and it’s cool. It seems to combine features found in web radio stations like Pandora and Last.fm where it will predict ...

For a long time, I’ve been interested in doing a triathlon. I have always gravitated towards endurance sports and I was attracted by the diversity of training for three separate events. In the past, I’ve completed a number of marathons and I always enjoyed the process of building up my mileage, feeling my body adapt to the rigorous routine that was forced upon it, and gradually preparing for a single event. After weeks or months ...
