    Introduction

    As a phone addicted, socially networked, always connected modern kind of a guy, I love the idea of smartwatches. There's just one problem with them, they're watches....
    What that means for me is that, if I'm wearing a smartwatch I'm not wearing my Seiko Alpinist or my Rolex Explorer or any one of a dozen other timepieces that might be calling for my attention that day. I had a Pebble watch for a while (widely recognised as the first smartwatch that really got it right) ...

  5. Demon Kitten broke my 'Hat Rack'

    Pretty sure it was the Lilith who broke my "Hat Rack". I shot that deer over a decade ago, and it's moved with me everywhere. I believe one night Lilith tried to jump to it, and when it fell, broke the antlers in half right at one of the cranial seams. Nothing epoxy, and a generous length of 550 cord couldn't cure. Try to break it now DEVIL CAT!
