PUMA Golf Announces 2009 Special Edition Collection

In the span of just a few short months (5 if you’re looking for specifics), I’ve gone from basically not knowing that PUMA even made golf apparel to loving just about everything they make (don’t make me give you a list).  I’m a fanboy.  Whatever.  What’s it to you?  Anyway, my buddies at PUMA have just announced the availability of their 2009 Special Edition Collection, which amounts to a fashion-forward study in black and white. Now I’ll grant you that black and white is often boring [...]

Qwowi Coffee is Giving Away a Keurig B60 Special Edition Brewer…Again

We had so much fun we’re doing it again! I’m once again dripping with excitement about announcing our 2nd Keurig giveaway at Qwowi Coffee.

Waking Up With The Daybreak Duo Alarm Clock

I’ve been on a mission for the past two years.  The mission seems simple and straightforward enough, but has proven to be both frustrating and unbelievably difficult.  My mission?  To find an alarm clock that functions well, is relatively easy to set, and has a lighted face that can be seen in the dark if necessary, but won’t keep me awake when I’m supposed to be sleeping.  Also important is durability, as we have two curious young children who have been known to explore our bedside table [...]

Fretlight – Guitar Education for the Guitar Hero Generation?

“A blinking guitar?” When Qwowi.com first approached me with the idea of reviewing Optek’s Fretlight guitar system for my first publication on these esteemed pages, I was intrigued but skeptical. That the Fretlight system is a completely fresh take on learning the most popular musical instrument of the past 60 years is certainly innovative. But [...]

Standing Tall with iPosture

What’s the first thing you notice about someone when you meet them?  Their shoes, their eyes, their clothes?   Maybe.  What you may not realize is that you’re probably also taking notice of how they entered the room.  Does that person appear confident and energetic?  Or does that person seem tired?
Our posture is a big part [...]
