The K-Cup Challenge: Timothy’s Sumatran Gold Extra Bold

The K-Cup Challenge: Timothy’s Sumatran Gold Extra Bold

Today’s sample of Timothy’s Sumatran Gold Extra Bold was dug out of a pile of boxes tucked away in a cabinet in the corner of my office kitchen.  We’re still hoping to land a Timothy’s distributor to provide us with samples, but for now, there’s still plenty of untapped variety right down the hall.

TaylorMade Announced r7 CGB Max Rescue Hybrid

As we expected, TaylorMade has announced their new for 2008 CGB MAX Rescue Hybrids.  The new hybrids complete the CGB MAX lineup (at least I don’t expect we’ll see a CGB wedge).  Just like the CGB MAX driver, and CGB Max fairways, the CGB MAX hybrid features TaylorMade’s high MOI, triangular-shaped head.
As you’d expect from [...]

Puroast Low Acid Coffee: House Blend

Puroast Low Acid Coffee: House Blend

Simply stated: I love coffee.  Also simply stated: sometimes coffee does not love me back.  I am prone to heartburn that is directly associated with food; tomato sauce, chocolate, and coffee all give me heartburn.  All three are foods that I love and worse yet they all go very well together according to my palate, [...]

Take a Seat With The Better Homes and Gardens Sunbridge 4-Piece Furniture Set

When we bought our newly constructed home four years ago one of the major attractions to this particular house was the large covered front porch that extends across the full house width of 40′.  It looked perfect for lazy afternoons spent sipping lemonade or tea, and with the pleasant view we were sure we would [...]

Taste Test: Snapple Strawberry Acai antioxidant WA+ER

Taste Test: Snapple Strawberry Acai antioxidant WA+ER

Continuing on with my Snapple series, I washed down my lunch (my wife’s delicious and low-fat stuffed shells) with a bottle of Snapple’s new “nutrient enriched water beverage”, or antioxidant WA+ER as it’s more generally known.  I covered the background info in my first Snapple Water post, so I’m not going to rehash that again.  [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain French Vanilla

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain French Vanilla

Like all the coffee I’ve reviewed thus far, my sample of Green Mountain French Vanilla was delivered to my office on a Monday morning by a less than enthusiastic man with a handtruck and a questionable attitude. Not one to let a little bit of surliness interfere with my morning coffee, I decided it [...]

Nickent Golf Responds To TaylorMade Accusations

Earlier today TaylorMade announced a lawsuit against Nickent Golf for what TalorMade has called “Nickent Golf’s False and Misleading Tour Claims”.  You can read the details of TaylorMade’s claim here.

Comparing Visual Acuity Putters: Cleveland vs. Nike

Comparing Visual Acuity Putters: Cleveland vs. Nike

After coming up pretty much empty in my quest to demo a Bobby Jones, ANY Bobby Jones club at my 3 local golf shops (shame, shame on you all), I decided to make the most of what would have been an otherwise wasted trip by spending a little time with two of the new [...]

WhatTheDeuce is now Qwowi.com

As you can probably see, things have changed a whole lot around here. WhatTheDeuce.com has become Qwowi.com, and undergone a fairly substantial face lift. My apologies for the graphics…we do the best we can, but we’re not what you might call “talented” with photoshop. At some point we may engage some professional [...]

Taste Test: Snapple antioxidant WA+ER - Raspberry Acerola

Taste Test: Snapple antioxidant WA+ER - Raspberry Acerola

It’s no secret that the enhanced water thing pretty much started with Vitamin Water. What 50 cent, and the other keen minds at the company figured out is that there are plenty (millions) of people who’d like to cut back on the calories in soda, and other sugary drinks, but would still be willing [...]
