I hate tower fans. I know I’m in the minority here. Plenty of other people seem to love them, because every year, when I’m scouring the internet for new fans to test, the bulk of them are tower fans. Even at a glance, you can tell they all suffer from the same problems that make every tower fan so unbearable. There’s the narrow, wobbly structure, like the leaning appliance of Pisa. The tall, slender stream of wind that never quite satisfies.

We've all seen the video. It's one of those timeless hallmarks of weird Internet virality — a public access recording that's somehow both of the '50s and '80s, with a lilywhite ska band singing, "Jesus my friend!

*Picks and Shovels* is a new, standalone technothriller starring Marty Hench, my two-fisted, hard-fighting, tech-scam-busting forensic accountant. You can pre-order it on my latest Kickstarter, which features a brilliant audiobook read by Wil Wheaton: https://t.co/i2rWuyouNs 1/ https://t.co/m5Ie4cRl7y
Yoooooooo how do we get into the bill for the @wheatus 25th anniversary show at @MidEastClub? Do we gotta drop a recorded "Teenage Dirtbag" cover or something? We'll do it!
