Vibe Water & Shock Resistant LED Headlamp versus Streamlight 61400 Enduro Headlamp

Leave a Comment / household, productivity, recreation, work / By davemackey

I purchased a Streamlight 61400 Enduro Headlamp off Amazon in July of 2011. It worked great, until the tab holding the battery compartment closed broke off…then even with tape I could never get the thing to stay on correctly.

You visit when you have aches and pains and need a prescription…but you shouldn’t really expect a lot of help with really maintaining good health. I …

Garden of Life’s RAW Meal.

Leave a Comment / health, household, productivity, work / By davemackey

I’ve talked on occasion about my feeble strivings to eat better without spending a lot of time doing so. This is a common dilemma, I think, for geeks and nerds and others of my ilk. We have many other endeavors we’d rather pursue than eating – and this oftentimes results in a poor diet. I’m …

HelloFax – A Beautiful, Simple Service.

1 Comment / finances, household, productivity, technology, web, work / By davemackey

Leave a Comment / books, household, other / By davemackey

When my wife goes to bed, I’m still a few hours from sleeping, but I oftentimes join her in the bedroom. How am I to stay productive and not lay restlessly awake for hours? Turning on a light will keep her awake, but without one I am unable to sleep. This is what lead me …
