Batteries that charge in minutes? Yep, and it's pretty awesome

With today's technology advancing at such a fast rate, there has been one thing left in the past... Sure there has been minor updates to batteries, but these things have been around for ages. Put into perspective the cell phone and how advanced they have become in such a short time. The iPhone first launched in the United States in June 2007. It's hard to believe that was just over 7 years ago.... We have hit a time where smartphone screens are pushing 1080P, and even 4k! The internal specs are simply astounding, an octa-core in a phone?

I don't think I have been so intrigued about something like this in a while. The best part will be tasting and bottling the finished produ...

New Blog

So apparently I started a blog in 2006 and creating only 4 posts...lol. Let's hope this time around it goes a little better. My plan is to look at everyday topics, personal views and opinions, and write reviews on items. I am open to ideas and hope to hear them. My writing style is likely to be fairly boring at first, but hopefully as the time progresses that will all change. I have never been a writer, a blogger, or even someone that writes in a journal.
