Un-Common Scents: Anthousa Diffusers

Un-Common Scents: Anthousa Diffusers

A few months ago, I was preparing our home in Baltimore to put it on the market, by just giving it last-minute, decorative finishing touches. While I am by no means an expert, I really enjoy home décor and interior design. Similarly, I have an amateurish passion for real estate. I know that to sell [...]

Qwowi Golf Review: The Perfect Pendulum

Qwowi Golf Review: The Perfect Pendulum

I had never heard of The Perfect Pendulum before its inventor, John Marini, sent me an email asking if I’d be interested in taking a look at his new product. Here at Qwowi, we’re really not in the habit of turning down much of anything in the way of review requests, so I was [...]

uPro GPS Launches Course Finder

uPro GPS Launches Course Finder

One of the new products for 2008 that we’ve been keeping an eye on is the uPro GPS.  As you may recall, I suggested that the uPro is poised to render your current golf GPS or rangefinder completely obsolete.
Based on the amount of interest my visitors have in this product, I’m fairly certain my prediction [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Kenya AA Extra Bold

Our sample of Green Mountain Kenyan AA was provided by our friends at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters. If you’ve been reading the K-Cup Challenge at all, you know I’m a fan of Green Mountain for both their great coffee, and their commitment to Brewing a Better World.

Tales from Demo Days: TaylorMade

Tales from Demo Days: TaylorMade

While I’d hoped this year’s demo day post would be the largest ever, it just didn’t work out that way.  The guys that I had hoped would be around to help me sort through the piles of new equipment available for testing at Northway 8 Golf’s annual demo day event all had prior commitments.  To [...]

Qwowi Taste Test: Snapple Antioxoidant WA+ER - Dragonfruit

With 3 remaining varieties of Snapple’s new Antioxidant Water left unsampled, I reached in my fridge to pull out a bottle of Dragonfruit flavor for this latest review.
Normally this is the part of the review where I hit up Wikipedia so I can tell you all about a fruit that I otherwise have very little [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Timothy’s White Hot Chocolate

The K-Cup Challenge: Timothy’s White Hot Chocolate

Our review of Timothy’s White Hot Chocolate is sponsored by Shoffee.com, who surprised me with a box of this brand new K-Cup variety.
Even though it’s been available for less than a couple of weeks, Timothy’s White Hot Chocolate is already garnering a lot of interest from what I’ll call “Keurig Enthusiasts”.  It’s pretty exciting [...]

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Hot Cocoa

The K-Cup Challenge: Green Mountain Hot Cocoa

My sample of Green Mountain Hot Cocoa was provided to me as part of Green Mountain’s ongoing support for this little K-Cup Challenge project I’ve undertaken.  I was pretty amped up to try hot cocoa in my Keurig brewer, as was my wife, who’s a huge fan of hot cocoa in pretty much every sort [...]
