I highly recommend it as vacation destination because the beach was the nicest one I’d ever visited and the sand felt as fine as flour.

A little over a year ago, I reviewed the Fiio X3 digital audio player (DAP). I liked the sound (still do) and its ability to play higher resolution files than my trusty iPod Classic. However, its interface suc… left a lot to be desired. Plus the arrangement and purpose of buttons was confusing at best.

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was in third grade. The only thing that I don’t like about my glasses is that they slide down my nose. I have no idea how many times a day I push them back up, but I’m sure it’s a lot, especially when I’m outside in hot weather or

I have many pairs of headphones lying around the house. They’re coming out of my ears. Really. I still dislike the in-ear style (IEMs, ear buds), so I’m restricted to headphones that rest outside my ears.
