Screen Actors Guild Snubs Martian, Hateful Eight

The Screen Actors Guild announced their nominations today for the 22nd annual SAG Awards and two major ensemble-driven films were particularly notable in being completely shut out of the race: The Martian and The Hateful Eight.

Qwerkywriter is a $400 Keyboard You’ll Love or Hate

When I received the Qwerkywriter, everyone passing my desk had to check it out. Everyone was drawn to its design. It looks like a typewriter, but is actually a mechanical keyboard. It’s rounded keycaps and shiny chrome line space lever harken back to classic typewriters and its aluminum build exudes quality.
