Devon Works Tread 1 belt-driven, bulletproof wristwatch tested, proven to actually tell time (video)
July 30, 2010 · Leave a Comment
The last time we saw the Devon Works Tread 1 wristwatch it existed only in digital form, rendered and swirling about with respect neither mass nor volume. Now it has come to reside in the physical plane, and aBlogtoRead has managed to get one of its belt-driven manifestations to test out. Naturally it’s a little less pristine looking than the computer-generated version and, pictured next to a fleshy hand, we can now see just how big the thing is — its crown actually large enough to wear on your head. For $15k you at least know you’re getting your money’s worth when it... [Read the full story]

Mandigrl says "Garmin Nuvi 255 has been a great investment!" about Garmin – Nuvi 255 GPS Device
July 30, 2010 · Leave a Comment
I can’t say enough positive things about my Garmin Nuvi 255 GPS system. I absolutely love it. I did a lot of research on the different brands and models of GPS units before purchasing this one. In the reviews I read, I found that this device had many more pros than it did cons. It was even on sale when I bought it! I recently graduated from college and have been driving all over the state of Michigan going from one job interview to the next. The Garmin Nuvi 255wt has been a lifesaver in many situations. It has been able to locate every location I’ve asked it to and has never... [Read the full story]
