The audio book has long been a literary tradition pretty much since the first years of audio recording.

Crashes Happen at the Worst Time
It happens to all of us – you’re in the middle of an important PowerPoint presentation for a huge client, or an important executive at work, you are just about to hit save on an important project for school, or your soon-to-be-published memoirs due at the publisher in less than an hour.

Honda Commercials Are Awesome!
I’ve posted some Honda commercials here before – but you should realize by now that Honda has a pretty good marketing group. They have some funny commercials, but you’ll also notice they have some that show off how bad-a their cars can be. I have owned my Acura TL 3.2 for about a year and…
