Real Life 2.0 Windows Sticker
The virtual reality that we are immersing ourselves into more and more each day tends to get so captivating for us that sometimes we do not even look out the window on a sunny day anymore.

World’s Most Expensive Diamond Encrusted iPad
I think it's always fun to write about pimped out technology. This time I'm not referring to it being pimped out in features, but rather pimped out in sparkling diamonds.

Prison vs. School Food: Likeness You Won’t Believe
When I was in school, I never thought the food was too bad. I think I was actually one of the few who actually liked it.
