IF YOU STILL DON’T HAVE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, or are looking to upgrade, the lights at Christmas Designers are extremely highly-rated by all, as far as I can tell. I came across their website because I was searching everywhere for high-quality “full-wave rectified” LED Christmas lights. What the heck does that mean? Well, most LED Christmas lights are only “half wave rectified”, meaning the lights will turn on and off (perceived as a flicker) 60 times per second....

| PHOTO FROM IKEA.COM | IKEA WINS AGAIN WITH THEIR VERY POPULAR POÄNG ARMCHAIR, one of my all-time favorite IKEA products A good friend of mine bought two black leather IKEA POÄNG Armchairs years ago, and still uses them daily. They’ve held up extremely well. The leather looks perfect and the cushions, though the padding is possibly slightly worn, are still very comfortable. When I needed some inexpensive leather armchairs, I looked around, but nothing compared to the value and...

I LIKE KEEPING THINGS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE WITH MINIMAL COMPROMISES, so when a friend let me know about these super simple and convenient cups, I was eager to give them a shot. My Brief Search For a Simple Hot Cup It’s cold outside, so I was looking for something to put hot home-brewed coffee in for car trips. Typically, a traditional thermos would be used for this purpose, but the thermoses I’ve tried in the past have been tactilely unpleasant to drink out of and annoying to...

| PHOTO BY DAN WARKENTIN, FLICKR | THIS PHOTO BY DAN WARKENTIN IS SO ORDERLY THAT IT DOESN’T LOOK REAL, and I like that. This makes sense when you see the title of this photo. The contrast and order of this photo really made it jump out at me. Perfectly manicured landscaping in front of an atmospheric fog contrasts well with the bright spot of sky and the perfectly smooth reflecting pool. Thanks, Dan Warkentin!

| PHOTO BY BG DAY, FLICKR | THIS PHOTO, BY BG DAY, IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY LOOKS LIKE, Very different from a negative photo, an infrared photo is achieved by blocking out almost all of the visible light spectrum. What light remains can create beautiful colors and effects that are not normally possible, Thanks, BG Day! More Photos I Really Liked Today Click here to see our other Photos of the...

THIS BLACK FRIDAY, I TOOK THE PLUNGE AND BOUGHT MY FIRST 4K TV. Throughout the buying process and up until the TV actually arrived, I was concerned about some things: Is it worth buying a 4k TV at all? Is it really that much better than 1080p? Is it worth buying if I can’t afford one of the best ones available? Is it worth buying if I can’t get the recommended screen size for my living room? The answer to all of these questions is “yes”, but I’ll explain further....
