Which brings me to the purpose of this post: home remodeling. More specifically, what you wished you knew before you started your home remodel.

Posted by | Electronics, Technology | No Comments

Yet those headphones for the portable players left much to be desired. Until I found noise canceling headphones. Miraculous!
