Multitasking


Ahh, multitasking. One word (albeit a compound one) that can generate a wide variety of emotions. I know a good number of people who will celebrate the fact that they are able to multitask. Effectively, mind you.

Enter the Smart Trashbox.[Read More]

Thank goodness for car wash services, yes? While they may not be that expensive in some areas, going to a car wash still entails taking money out of your pocket, and if you like having a gleaming car body all the time, then you will have to spend a lot of time ensuring that. And then it rains.

With this new coating technology, however, you just might be able to save on car wash expenses. Or at least avoid the hassle of getting your ride cleaned and blinged up too often for your liking.[Read More]

Digital devices
Technology can either be a boon or a bane, depending on how it is used. I suppose hardly anyone will say out loud that they are addicted to digital devices, but it seems that the dangers of this kind of addiction are very much real.
