Q&A: Why is is copper used for house wiring when aluminum is a lot cheaper?

The style of music that falls under the Country umbrella changes a bit with each generation, but every new generation includes a small handful of performers who end up becoming true legends and icons of the genre by the time they finally put down their mics for good.

And one of the most legendary Country performers of all time will always be the great Loretta Lynn.  [Read more…]

Have you ever traveled for business or taken a vacation and forgot to bring along the charger for your smartphone or tablet?

Yeah, me too. And it’s really frustrating.

A while back I wrote a post on my tech blog explaining how you can usually borrow a charger from the “Lost & Found” box at the hotel’s front desk, but now there’s an even easier way to charge your devices after leaving your charger at home…
