AK-47 Anybody?
If you ever wanted a modern sporting rifle fashioned in the style of an AK-47 they're practically giving them away at an all-time low-price around $300 with extra magazines and ammunition. Absolutely crazy*! I think this is due to supply finally catching up with the insane firearm demand in the last 18 months as well as the demand slowly subsiding ( Read more... ) -
Camcorder Help?
Maybe I just forgot to take my brain medicine, but for the life of me I can't get any video off this Canon FS20 Flash-based SD camcorder. The files are there because I can play it back on the camera. When I put the SD card in a card reader on my computer it only sees JPG files, so I can't transfer the MPG. Canon says I have to use their ImageMixer ( Read more... ) -
Super Vision
I really wanted to get a night vision scope for camping, but I didn't want the crap Gen.I intensifier from the 1950s, even though they're totally justifiable at $200, nor a mediocre Gen.II from the 1970s (around $1500).

Boeing 747 Home Bar // Gas Powered Two-Stroke Blender
I think these two items go hand-in-hand. Imagine, a gas-powered two-stroke blender next to a bar that's built out of a 747 engine cowling. It's like cake and sodomy.

Jonathan Buys a Chair (and a Car)
The gasket for the pneumatic system in my high-back executive chair in my home-office has slowly been wearing out for the last few years. This makes me sad because I like this chair, and I hate to part with it, but the annoyance of it dropping a half inch every 5 minutes (and having to stand up and raise the chair back to the maximum height every ( Read more... )
