There are spoilers from “Saving Private Ryan” in this article. Stephen Spielberg has been regarded as one of the greatest directors of all time–so much so, that it can be tiresome to hear and almost uncool to like him because he’s so popular. His attention to detail is not only fascinating, but it is indicative […]
The Lum-Tec Combat B37 was my first foray into a watch using only the 24-hour format, and it did not disappoint. It is a simple but classy timepiece that has a subtle ruggedness to it. The B37 is limited to only 200 available for worldwide sale (each has a unique number on the case back), […]

Veteran humor Some people see that phrase, get all amped up and are ready to hear some sick, vulgar stuff. Things that will make most people’s stomach’s turn, but they roll over laughing their asses off. Others, instead of rolling their asses, roll their eyes and think that dark humor is certainly not relegated to […]
