Boomers are always quick to judge the younger generations because of how much time they spend on their phones. And we have no idea whether to agree with them or not. On the one hand, mobile technology saved many lives as you can find anyone fast, and they continue to improve lives every day. And on the other side, people are always hanging out on the internet. And they read all kinds of dumb things and then they think that they’re experts. So, as much as phones and technology saved our lives, they also kind of ruined them too. Well, let’s start with the positive argument for phones and mobile technology. Mobile phones certainly saved lots of lives. Lazy people now have all sorts of apps to keep them in check. If you’re not a particularly active person, you might install one of those apps that measure your amount of…

5 Things You Should Do After Getting Denied with Your SSD Claim
One of the benefits you receive from the taxes deducted every time you receive your paycheck is your Social Security benefits. Among the most important aids you can receive from the Social Security Administration (SSA) is the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or simply the disability insurance. For millions of Americans suffering from disability, filing for disability insurance is a valuable means of getting by. However, disability benefits are awarded based on the degree of need. This means that some claims will be denied upon your initial application. The good thing is that the initial denial isn’t final – there are still ways for you to fight for a claim to valuable benefit. Request for reconsideration When your SSDI application gets denied by the SSA, the agency sends you a document explaining the reasons for the denial of your application. If you disagree with the decision, the first thing you…

Why PDF Readers Are Better Than Online PDF Reading Options?
Since the success of PDF readers, Chrome, Firefox and Safari have come up with their own PDF reading extensions. Users just need to download an extension and can read PDF files on their browser. However, the question is, do they provide the same functionality as a full blown PDF reading software does? Let’s find out. Online PDF reading options are nothing like full PDF software. Here’s why PDF readers are better than other online options: Enhanced Performance When you want to use PDF files for professional purposes then compromising on the performance is not an option.

10 Most Notorious Star Wars Urban Legends
If you’re a Star Wars fan, then you already know there are more urban legends out there than nearly any other franchise. We love Star Wars and we love to talk about Star Wars. Fans are always looking for a new little tidbit, piece of news, gossip, or some hidden fact they never knew before. We want to feel like insiders, like we know something other people don’t, and like we’re special in our fandom. That’s probably one big reason these Star Wars urban legends take off like they do. There are many of them but this video will explore 10 of the most known. Are they true? Just a myth? Let’s find out! The Millennium Falcon broke Harrison Ford’s ankle – We know he had a leg injury filming the latest film and the rumor said it happened this way but the story came out later that it was…
What To Do with a Star Wars Hater
So you’ve got that one friend, the one who says he “just doesn’t get” what all the fuss is about. “What’s so great about Star Wars?”, he says. Or maybe he goes one step further into actual Hater Mode and starts bashing on the films or the franchise. There’s likely a friend like this in ever group (unless you’ve already purged your group of this traitor). So what can you do about? Sure, it’s okay to accept one another’s differences. We know that not everyone will like the same things and not everyone will love Star Wars as much as you might (although we cannot imagine why). Differences in people make the world go round and that is something to be celebrated. However, if you’re dealing with a friend or family member who just doesn’t “get” your Star Wars obsession, it might be time for an intervention. You can try…
You Could Own Luke Skywalker’s Blaster
If you have a lot of cash, that is. While there has been a lot of mystery surrounding Luke Skywalker since the release of the latest film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it seems it has increased the popularity of Skywalker memorabilia even more. It’s not a huge surprise then that when the DL-44 Blaster Luke Skywalker used in the 180 film “The Empire Strikes Back” went up for auction, fans are taking note. It’s starting at $200,000 with Nate D. Sanders. Here is the description from the auction listing: Luke Skywalker’s DL-44 Blaster from ”The Empire Strikes Back”‘. This iconic hero gun is the same model used by Han Solo, a design based on the German issue Mauser C96 pistol and custom made by casting the original prop used in the first ”Star Wars”. Gun retains its original flash suppressor and scope, though it does not (and never did) fire,…
Star Wars Smuggler’s Bounty
The Star Wars franchise, in conjunction with Funko, have put together a subscription box featuring exclusive Star Wars themed merchandise and it’s not too late for you to get your hands on them for yourself. This also makes a great gift for any Star Wars fan in your life. My guess is that with the new film just recently released, we’ll see the popularity of things like this only continue to grow.

Total value for the items in each box is around $50, but the cost of the subscription is $25 plus shipping, handling, and tax. There’s no fluff here as each box comes with high quality products including apparel, accessories, toys and other memorabilia. Some examples of…
Mel Brooks Says Spaceballs Sequel is a Go
People have been asking for it and it seems we just might be getting it! The movie Spaceballs was famous for spoofing the Star Wars franchise and is nearly as iconic as the Star Wars movies themselves. It only begs the question then, will we see a new Spaceballs now that a new Star Wars movie was released? Well, comedic genius Mel Brooks says it’s going to happen. Brooks was on Adam Carolla’s Take A Knee podcast earlier this year and confirmed the sequel was in early stages of development. Filming will begin in 2016 and Brooks plans to try to bring back as much of the original cast as possible. The working title as of now is Spaceballs: The Search For More Money. There are some challenges, particularly with trying to bring back the original cast. John Candy, who played Barfolomew, sadly passed in 1994. Most fans agree they’d rather not see that character return than have it brought back…

Could the Planets in Star Wars Actually Support Life?
We know the Star Wars franchise is big on imagination. This wonder and mystery is one thing that made it so appealing to fans. Amazing creatures, large vast planets and creative characters are some of the key elements that made Star Wars so great. That said, there have always been those who would question the logic behind the Star Wars story. One thing that makes the planets of Star Wars stand out is the unique environment that each one had. Whether it was vast barren stretches of sand or a planet covered in ice, there was always some unique feature that stood out in each planet. This begs the question: Could any living thing actually survive there? Wired.com has a very interesting piece where they cover some of the popular planets of Star Wars and consider whether or not they would actually be able to support life. Here is an…

SWTOR Side-Scrolling
Who remembers the GameBoy Advance? We might be showing our ages here but I actually still have mine. That used to be one of my most prized possessions, I admit it. Anyway, imagine if we had SWTOR for the GBA? It might look something like this side-scrolling version below.
UCF Jedi Knight vs Westboro Baptist Church
Here is a true Jedi doing good in the world. If you’re not familiar with this man in robes, he is known as the “UCF Jedi” and he made national news when he combated the Westboro Baptist Church at their demonstration at the University of Central Florida. The story says he dresses up as a Jedi and speaks out against hate and intolerance using the wise words of the Jedi Order. Here is a video of him doing just that against the protesters from Westboro but this wasn’t the only time he had done so. We already give him cool points for dressing up like a Jedi but doing so to spread messages of kindness and peace makes him all the more awesome. *Regardless of where you stand on moral and religious issues, WBC have a reputation of spreading hate and intolerance, picketing funerals of children and preaching their extreme ideologies at…

How much do you love Star Wars? What would you do if a George Lucas museum was potentially being built near you? Would you go out of your way to do whatever it takes to make this museum happen?
