Happy One Year Book Release Anniversary!

August 26th, 2010

It’s crazy to think that our book has been out officially for a whole year! Whenever either of us go into a Barnes and Noble or Borders, we still make sure to check up on it. Sometimes it’s been adopted, and we’re happy to always see it go to a loving home. Except for yours, KEVIN.

To celebrate this great day, we’re gonna have a 24 hour sale! Only $6 for a copy signed by both of us both-handedly!

If you have a table or any kind of surface that has an empty space measuring 5.5 x 6.25 inches or larger, you should buy this book and fill that space!

-LHT

UPDATE: Sale is over! Thank you everyone for your orders. We have a lot of shipping to do this weekend =)

Wall-mounting a TV

August 22nd, 2010

I just wall-mounted a TV today. However, I’m not totally confident in my work, even though I know I did everything right. I blame those commercials where the dude puts the TV on the wall, stands back for a second to admire his work and then watches the TV fall to the ground. They have made me doubt my abilities!

I wish I was kidding, but I’m just sitting here hoping that I don’t hear a crashing sound come from the other room.

Do you guys know anyone who had a TV fall off the wall? Does that actually actually happen in real life? I hope not.

-Justin
