This DAC is the Schitt

 

For those who are not too familiar with the audio space, it is a long, deep, very deep, rabbit hole. And talk about expensive. There are turntables out there that cost as much as a Corolla. It is easy to fall in the hole, especially if you are a nerd. So, you have a great pair of wired headphones that you think are the bomb. Maybe they are. But whatever you have, it is being held back from truly performing. Enter a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). Your computer has one but it is crappy. So is the one on your phone. This little bit of kit will dial up the audio quality on your wired headphones to the Nth degree. And it won’t break the bank. So, if you are looking to get into Audio, start here. Start with this company. Their stuff is the Schitt.

The Pocket Knife - a classic tool

Men just aren't men unless they have a pocket knife. It is as simple as that. You know it to be true. Ever need a knife to open a package, asked a buddy for his and he whips out his pocket knife to lend a hand? Didn't you think to yourself "now there is a man that is prepared". Note: MAN, not guy or dude. Be a man, carry a knife. You will love this little jewel at around 2.5" closed. Easy to carry, amazing to use. ALMAR KNIVES

There is just something to be said about a hand made, high quality knife that defies any normal description.

Great Cookin'!

Summer is here, bringing with it a season full of BBQ and outdoor living. This year treat yourself to the best cooker ever and revel in the compliments that will flow like honey as your guests sample your cooking. This amazing little smoker was introduced to me by my amigo (thanks Wayne) and touted as the most stupid easy cooker to use. I had my doubts but after tasting the sausage, ribs and brisket that came out of this thing, even my dumb 'ole self can look like a backyard pro. COOKSHACK
