Review: Suburban Legends

There are a lot of books on the paranormal that contain scholarly, objective descriptions of mysterious events. This is not one of those books. Suburban Legends by Sam Stall is a tongue-in-cheek look at ghosts, aliens, true-crime, and other weirdness that just happens to show up in the suburbs. It’s a quick, easy read, with

Taking great inspiration from the Brian De Palma’s Oscar nominated 1976 version of the film, here we find that Carrie, in 2013 has been treated

Tech Review: Wren V5

I’m not sure how much you listen to music, but in my house we are always jamming to something. The difference has been the overall setup on how to play music. Depending on how old you are, you may remember the Cassette, or even the 8 Track. When I really started to get into music,
