Greetings Earthlings-
I’ll cut to the chase. We may switch to a new commenting system that could potentially wipe out all existing comments on Techland, including the ones from Nerd World days. The new commenting system is called Echo and other sites and blogs within the Time network are already on board. Rather than making the …
Sometimes it seems like pencil technology moves so fast that it’s like, hey, why am I even trying to keep up with this stuff? First there was the pencil, then the eraser, then different numbered pencils, and now this new liquid pencil thing from Sharpie. Slow down!

The coast-to-coast syndicated show, based out of Southern California has been a mainstay …
