→ Kranky Coffee

Straight off a Dollar Store shelf at the lovely Grapevine Mills Mall in Grapevine, Texas, and stocked just a few bins over from the storied Orchard Skittles, comes Kranky Candy, the coffee dusted confection you will soon come to know and love. Is it an afternoon snack? A breakfast substitute? Repurposed industrial by-product? You decide.

Joining me in his first proper appearance* on Tobyblog is my good friend Brian Hammons of ReviewTheWorld.com.

Together we sample.

We discover.

And we bring our findings to the world. Enjoy.

→ Conversations Series: The Nintendo NX

Join TheVCubeSolver and I as we discuss the recently announced NX project from Nintendo, a new and novel system that could be the successor to the beleaguered Wii U. But what exactly is it? For the moment, all we can do is guess. But I think we have some good ideas.

→ March Cache Maintenance

TheVCubeSolver and I hit the road on a pretty March morning to do some maintenance on a couple of our geocaches. The log for RtW #3 had filled up and Augie’s beaver cache had recently been reported missing. A little town, a little country. More geocaching goodness for you.

→ My First Night Cache

Come along with the kids and I on our first night caching adventure. For the uninitiated among you, night caching is simply geocaching at night. Generally night caches are made so that you can’t find them during the daytime, by making use of trails of reflective tacks or tape or other forms of guidance visible only at night.

→ The Tobyblog Halloween Special

I love Halloween. You do, too. This video is a tribute to that season, to every memory and every thrill. To cold autumn nights. To the warm glow of jack o’ lanterns. To spooky stories and cozy evenings. To every bit of magic and adventure in our lives.

This is the story of Halloween 2013 as we experienced it; what has gone down in our lives and memories as THE BEST HALLOWEEN EVER. See TheVCubeSolver and I review some spooky sparkly sodas. Thrills! Listen to me ramble on about my pumpkin carving kit. Ooh! Chills! Take a peek at the dark miracle that is the Little Elm Halloween Festival. Bigger and better than ever this year!

The Tobyblog Halloween special has sights and sounds!

The Tobyblog Halloween special has scares and delights!

The Tobyblog Halloween special will make you laugh and make you cry!

The Tobyblog Halloween Special is a family celebration. Enjoy.
