In the past, even just a decade ago, the only way to know whether an area was good or safe was to go there, or talk to someone who lived there. Today, thanks to the internet you can fully research an area and get a good idea about safe places to visit, what places to visit, what cities and what areas are safe to stop in and get a hotel in, websites to tell you about... read more

Today, people take it for granted that in order to live in a safe neighborhood and not worry about being murdered or robbed, they must pay between $700 and $1500 per month in rent . In some dilapidated pits like New York City, a run-down bug-infested slime pit that is barely big enough to fit a twin bed - no exaggeration - can run anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 per month... read more

There are a lot of reasons to use cloud storage, whether it be to share some files with a friend or make your business easier. Despite the fact that file sharing sites are notorious for being abused as a source for piracy, still they are commonly used for legitimate purposes.

Filed in: Tech Trends • Technology


When eBay first started, it was a huge boost to the economy and small businesses everywhere. I remember as a kid hearing the adults talk about how they were able to make and sell things on ebay and how much it helped their bank account. These adults were middle-class, hard-working people on a low salary who worked a grinding low-paying 9-5 job. The job was rewarding... read more

Season 2 of The Expanse is currently airing, and it just keeps getting better. Researching this article I discovered it is actually a film adaptation of a novel series; however, this is no surprise because the depth of the show and character development is certainly indicative of an amazingly well-written novel series.

Legion (2017) TV Show Review: Not Just Another X-Men Show | Suspense, Insanity, Ultimate Power, and The Bogeyman Is Real

Filed in: TV Reviews


Legion is a show about some genetic mutants with superpowers, except the X-Men theme really doesn't come up very much. Legion is a surreal landscape of insanity, with people who are brainwashed to believe they are insane when really they have superpowers.
