LEGO Universe update: Forbidden Valley Dragon Raceway and Nexus Tower opens »

Hey folks! I want to talk about two fantastic new features in LEGO Universe. The first one is the Forbidden Valley Dragon Raceway, an awesome, but also very hard, new race track. This new track has sharp turns, no edges, and is crawling with maelstrom. Plus, if you want, you can purchase some brand new race cars from the vendor right there on the LEGO Universe site. For those wondering how to get there, the track is in Forbidden Valley and all you have to do is find the jumper near the ronin area by the praying mantis pets.

Book Review: Maximum Target »

As Americans we often become all too comfortable in our everyday lifestyles. We wake up, go to work, coach our kids sports teams, and push the repeat button. Martin Gower artistically crafted reality with fiction to create his tale of North Korea and its “Dear Leader” that is both eye-opening and jaw-dropping for the average citizen of our often sheltered country.

That’s a nice stroller! Test driving the iCandy peach stroller »

As I strolled my baby girl into Carters for a new Easter/birthday dress, both cashiers stared in awe, with mouths slightly agape, of the iCandy peach Kaia was riding around in. The iCandy peach was sent to me to test drive.

I mean this thing is a Cadillac compared to my other strollers. Kaia looks good in the iCandy.
