Who Wants to Make Some Money Playing Fantasy Football?

fantasy football is dungeons dragons for jocks

If you think playing Fantasy Football is a bunch of nerds huddling together spewing stats and talking about their imaginary girlfriends, you couldn’t be more wrong. Besides, I don’t think Manti Te’o plays Fantasy Football anyway.

Music Has Detroit Rising From The Ashes

motown detroit music

Watch today's video playlist

When I think about certain cities, I immediately think of the music that represents it. For New Orleans, there’s jazz. Memphis has soul, blues, and Elvis. New York and Los Angeles give me hip hop. But there’s something about Detroit…that gritty, down to earth music that comes from a city that was nearly beaten into submission due to economic hardship.

Introducing Tubebox.fm – The Anywhere Audio Player

We know we have been a little quiet over here on the toobbox.com blog. Well that’s because we have been working on our sister website tubebox.fm.

Now tubebox.fm has been around for a while. A few weeks ago we finally pushed it out of our first version and updated it with a new look.

Here is a quick demo of how it works:

There are a lot of cool things you can do with it other than listen to music. For instance, you can listen to your favorite comedian:

Or be enlightened by some talks from famous lecturers:

It works on most Android phones, PCs, macs with older versions of Safari. We will be improving its ability to work on most devices over the next few weeks…

Please give it a shot and tell us what you think!
