    datashare_pkgproductThis weird pill looking item, is really a very handy gadget. Take you old Memory Cards that you don’t use anymore and turn them into a flash drive, by plugging them into one of the halves of the Data Share. Now you have a useful USB drive, instead of a drawer  full of old cards.

    TV’s hottest show, 24, was released just one day after the season ended. Leave it to the one show that leaves you breathless every year and breaks all the network rules, to be the one show that doesn’t make you wait till fall to grab it on Blu-Ray. This season is packed full of return characters and twists, making it one of the best ever. Oh, and did we tell you Jack may be dead?

    ghostbusters-video-game

    I really don’t need to say anything about this. I mean come on, it’s Ghostbusters!! Designed to be like the 3rd film, this game picks up right where the 2nd movie left off. From what we’ve seen so far the game boasts top notch next gen graphics and makes full use of your HD TV. You can even get a Special Edition off of Amazon that comes with a keychain version of the Echo 1.  Now if only we can get a new movie….

    hot-chicks-wolves-tee

    And the award for creepiest/weirdest thing we’ve ever see on a T-Shirt goes to… (drumroll please) Hot Chicks On Wolves T-Shirt! From the team over at Threadless Tees, comes this very odd shirt. Something about it makes us think of Guns & Roses or White Snake. For $18 you too can own one of the Hot Chicks On Wolves T-Shirts, and who hasn’t always said, “Hey you know what I need? A shirt with hot chicks riding wolves, carrying big guns.” Everyone says that right?

    Geeks around the world have known for awhile that Marvel Comics was making a movie about Thor the God of Thunder. But news has been pretty limited beyond that. Not long ago we heard that Daniel Craig turned down the studio when asked to play the part of Thor, saying something along the lines of playing Bond and Thor would be too much of a power trip. But just today Marvel released new info on the film, specifically who the God of Thunder would be up against and who would be playing this villain. Well it looks like Thor will be fighting none other then Loki the God of Mischief who apparently is causing some issues for the mortals of earth. Who will be playing Loki? Read more »

Sometimes this may be one store out of a chain of stores and sometimes these places are independently owned like Paradise Garage. Want the coolest in cycling gear and style?  You’ve been looking for Paradise Garage.

    With knowledgeable employes and a clean, sharp and stylish shop, this is the place in Columbus Ohio for style concise cyclists.
