Bose QuietComfort 25 noise

Cheeps! I first shared this deal last week. To my amazement, it’s still available — now potentially even cheaper!

Cheap things come to those who wait. That’s probably going to end up on my tombstone, I’ve said it so often, but it’s true.

The Smove Mobile three

In my next life, I’d really like to write and direct movies — especially now that the tools for doing so are incredibly cheap. I mean, heck, I’ve already got a 4K camcorder in my pocket! Ever priced a Steadicam, though? Decidedly not cheap. So how can budding filmmakers hope to capture silky-smooth footage, especially while moving around? For that …
