My introduction to crossword puzzles was through cheating. My grandfather would sit in his recliner with a pen and a folded-up newspaper, and from time to time, he’d throw out a question to another person in the room—including, when I was old enough, occasionally me. Soon I was sitting on the arm of the chair, helping…

I’ve had TSA Precheck for years, with no regrets. The fee works out to just $15 annually, and every time I’ve taken a trip by air and faced shorter lines at security, I’ve been glad I signed up. The only real hassle was that I had to take several hours out of my day to drive to the airport for an in-person interview.…

Everything is more expensive these days, and one of the most dramatic examples inflation is in the used car market, which has seen prices soar as much as 40% in just a few years. Where you could once reliably find an affordable beater that would get you to and from work for a while, that’s no longer the case.

The imaginatively named Utah Utes are hosting the California Golden Bears this weekend at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Both teams are coming from losses last week with scores that highlight each team’s strength—Cal went down 52-40 and Utah was beaten 21-7, so it’s offense versus defense, Utah’s immovable…
I can say without fear of contradiction that this Saturday’s game between USC and Notre Dame will be the most dramatic football contest since Knute Rockne’s inspirational “win one for the Gipper” halftime speech in 1928.
The Ohio State Buckeyes travel to West Lafayette, Indiana this Saturday with the intention of thrashing the outmatched Purdue Boilermakers.

Have you experienced sticker shock at the gas pump recently? The average price of a gallon of gasoline is $3.78 across the country as of October 4, 2023, and it went as high as $5.02 a gallon in June, so it’s hard not to think, “Jesus, that much?” when filling your tank. But despite appearances fanned by self-serving…

Before the explosion of streaming services, watching a rousing cricket match could be a sticky wicket in the United States, but these days, it’s easy, mate. Badgers (extreme cricket fans) can watch all 48 matches from cricket’s ICC ODI World Cup from their living rooms, even if they don’t have cable TV, so there’s no…
I love e-bikes—they introduce non-cyclists to the sport, they keep cars off the road, and most of all, ebiking is crazy fun. But is it actually exercise? If so, how much of a workout are you really getting on an assisted ride?

The undefeated Kentucky Wildcats, fresh from embarrassing the Florida Gators in week five, are traveling to Sanford Stadium in Georgia to take on the number one college team in the nation, the undefeated Georgia…
In terms of value, it’s tough to beat Apple Arcade. The service costs $5 per month following a one-month free trial, or comes as part of an Apple One subscription. Heck, if you bought an Apple device recently, like an iPhone 15, you get three months of Apple Arcade free. But whether you’re rocking your free trial, or…

This Saturday, the Iowa State Cyclones travel to Norman, Okla. to take on the undefeated Oklahoma Sooners in a Big 12 matchup.

I grew up playing ‘90s computer games, and must admit my earliest memory of playing a video game of any kind is of the bloody, first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D that my father had installed on his Windows 95 computer.
