Groove to Great Wedding Music Outdoors
The music that you’ll play if you decide to have an outdoor/backyard wedding isn’t necessarily any different than the music you’ll play for an indoor reception.
However, if you are having a backyard wedding, there’s a good chance that you’ll be DIYing the music, as opposed to hiring a professional to choose and play the music for you. This means, among other things,...

Planning Your Wedding Budget for a Backyard...
Most people would rather not worry about what a wedding will cost. After all, who wants to cut corners on this most important of days?
Still, with wedding costs skyrocketing, and more and more people concerned with living within their means, it’s a good idea to at least think about the price breakdown for all of the expenses involved in planning and hosting this big event.

DIY Wedding Food →
One of the great things about having a backyard wedding is that you can choose which things you want to DIY, and which things you want to have someone else take care of.

Best Kinect Dance Games →
In my opinion, dance games is the genre in which the Kinect truly shines. You haven’t really experienced all that the Kinect has to offer until you’ve experienced dance games like Dance Central 2 and Just Dance 3.

Awesome 90's Cartoon ReBoot: Newly Released on...
ReBoot was one of my favorite cartoons on TV growing up. They stopped showing it in 2001, and for a long time the only way you could watch it was if you ponied up $100s for the few copies floating around on DVD, or if you watched painfully blurry version on YouTube. But now, the show is back and bigger than ever! Click to learn more about ReBoot, watch clips, and check out the deals on Amazon.

My Most Favorite Camera (To Date)
I put off buying my new camera for a long time, but when I finally got it a couple of months ago, I was so happy that I’d bought it at last.
The Canon Powershot s95 was just as good as I’d hoped it would be. It takes great pictures in decent light on the Automatic setting; you don’t have to mess around to get a good picture. The Low Light setting is one of the best available for...
