Bonfire of my vanity

January 15, 2018 by Dave Knadler

gallery faces

Take a look at the composite picture above: What do the five faces have in common? I’ll just wait here while you ponder. Hint: It’s not the Dave Clark Five. It’s not the Five Amigos. It’s not the Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse. It’s not the Five Guys. It’s not the Five Pillars of Islam. No, my friends, these five faces represent the closest resemblance to yours […]

Gadgets galore

October 25, 2016 by Dave Knadler

The other day I was thinking about getting an Amazon Echo. No reason, really, other than being a total sucker for electronic gadgets of all kinds.
