If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I’ve heard about this “Geek test” and finally remembered to look it up. I found the link to it over on Blacksheep Speaks and followed it and took the test. I was actually a bit surprised at the [...]

Todays review-du-jour brought me to a site that specialize in a subset of the home decor world, the clock. The first thing I noticed right off is that the name of the store and the url is also it’s phone number 1-800-4clocks.com. That all buy itself is going to make them memorable.
