More than 100 new words, from acai to zip line via carbon footprint and waterboarding, have entered the mainstream in the United States after being added to the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary. As every year, the new words paint a sociological picture of trends and events that are influencing Americans. Health and medicine, technology, and words related to food and eating are well represented. The three rubrics have been the richest picking grounds for new words in the last decade. This year, health-nuts could claim that becoming a "locavore" -- someone who eats locally grown foods -- has helped them kick the need for "naproxen" ... Read Full Story

But it wasn’t our fault. We really meant to do a writeup for the Kai Shun Pro Mandolin. We just got caught up in playing Tetris and lost track of time. And then our web guy started yelling “Kai Shun Pro Mandolin up next!” and, well, here we are. However, don’t let that stop you from buying a Kai Shun Pro Mandolin to slice your potatoes like a professional. Just consider it a serving suggestion. You can use the three different cutters...

First, we’re sorry that we reused that Jewish New Year writeup when it should have been a different one. We know, Jewish New Year was ages ago. That’s our bad. Second, to that guy in Ohio, we’re sorry that we ran out of that item you wanted right before you decided you wanted it. So, so, so sorry. And third, we’re sorry that this Segate FreeAgent 1.5 Terabyte USB External Hard Drive is so big. We tried to find a 512 Memory Stick to put in...

Back when I was Quarterbacking in the Bandai Pocket Football League, we didn’t have salaries. We didn’t even have names! Nope, that was when football was football. You gotta run the ball, and that was it. Sure passing became popular somewhere around ‘86, but I was a purist. Give me a tiny LCD ball and two leg movement animations and I’ll get you six points, for sure. Nowadays it’s all “hyper-realistic” hooey. What self-respecting 8-year...

“Oh, hi, Julie. Yeah, I’m just catching up on these episodes of Lost . It’s my favorite show. Can you believe there was a whole season that I never even knew existed? Man. It’s really the best show on television. Look at this, in just ten half hour blocks, they throw so many images at you. It’s like they’re talking in some, I don’t know, symbolic language or something.” “Is that what you have playing right now, Michael? Is that what you...

Could be they cut the power after you didn’t pay for six months. Could be you just don’t trust a candle when you’re rebuilding the fuel line. It won’t matter to the Autolight Space Glo Utility Light. It’ll be there, shining with battery power, for just as long as you need it. Unless “just as long as you need it” is longer than a battery charge. Hey, it’s not the Autolight Space Glo Utility Light’s fault. That’s just physical laws. Take it up...

Some people get so hung up on superficialities and categories. What language you speak. What color your skin is. What degrees you’ve earned. What prisons you’ve done time in. See, what they don’t realize is, none of that matters when you’ve been wandering the thickly forested hills for days without food or shelter. That’s why I’m glad the Bushnell ONIX 400 GPS is no respecter of creeds or credentials. All it cares about is mapping your...
