Introduction: Your Chair Isn’t Working—Here’s Why

If you spend hours at your desk for work or gaming, you're repeating a cycle: you start upright, then a few hours later, you're slouched, your lower back aches, and your focus is gone. Buying an "ergonomic" chair did not solve the problem. It may have even worsened it.

Why? Because most chairs are designed around the lumbar spine, which is a reactive part of your posture. With the Anthros Chair, it takes a different approach. After combing through decades of clinical research and the science of seating, the Anthros Chair was born. It is a FDA-registered chair, and has a comfort guarantte. Essentially, you don't feel comfort, and you get your money back.

Let's dive into the core technology that makes the Anthros Chair the upgrade your body needs and deserves.

The Core Difference - Pelvic Support, Not Just Lumbar Support

The secret to proper posture starts not with your lower back, but with your pelvis. When your pelvis tilts backward, your spine is forced to slouch. Traditional chairs with a basic lumbar pillow just push on your lower back, which can feel good, but doesn't solve the root problem.

The Anthros Chair is fundamentally different thanks to its Precision Posture System—a patented, adjustable two-part backrest.

Key Feature 1: Patented Lower Back Pelvis Support

• How it Works: Instead of pushing on your mid-back (lumbar), this unique lower cushion gently captures and stabilizes your pelvis.

• The Benefit: By locking your pelvis into a neutral position, your spine naturally falls into its optimal "S" curve. This effortlessly keeps you upright, relaxes your postural muscles, and immediately helps eliminate the pain caused by slouching.

Key Feature 2: Adjustable Upper Back Support

• How it Works: The upper back segment is independently adjustable and features a tapered design.

• The Benefit: It supports your thoracic spine and allows your shoulders to naturally retract (open up) without pushing them forward. This gives you full range of motion to stretch and reach without restriction, preventing neck and shoulder strain.

Section 2: World's Lowest Pressure Cushion Technology

If your hips or tailbone hurt after an hour, it means your current chair is causing pressure points that restrict blood flow and cause pain.

The Anthros Chair has been independently lab-tested to deliver the lowest peak pressure of any chair tested on the market.

The Cushion Technology Stack

Technology How it Works Your Pain-Relieving Benefit Cloudfloat™ A contoured seat cushion with patented internal cutouts and high-quality foam. Allows your sit bones to gently sink and float, minimizing pressure and protecting your circulation. Cloudtex® A special dual-elastic layer beneath the fabric. Reduces friction and shear (the resistance when you shift), delivering a smooth, cloud-like immersion into the cushion for long-term comfort.

This combination is scientifically proven to reduce disc pressure by up to 40% compared to sitting in a traditional chair. This can be life-changing for people with disc issues, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain.

Section 3: Why Choose Anthros: Beyond the Basics

The patented technology is what truly sets the Anthros Chair apart. But Anthros also backs up its design with incredible value and service:

• 12-Year Warranty: An industry-leading guarantee that makes your investment worthwhile.

• Risk-Free Guarantee: Anthros is a FDA-registered chair that is guaranteed to relieve pain, or your money back.

• Free Personalized Posture Setup: With your purchase, you get a free video consultation with a licensed ergonomics therapist. They will personally walk you through setting up and fine-tuning the adjustments for your specific body, ensuring you get the perfect, customized fit from day one.

• Posture-Lock Tilt: You can lean back, decompress your spine, and lock the tilt at a comfortable, reclined angle without compromising the correct spinal alignment the chair is providing.

The Bottom Line: An Investment in Your Health and Productivity

The Anthros Chair is not a budget office chair. It is a premium device engineered to support your body and heal your relationship with sitting.

If you are:

• A remote worker or gamer spending 8+ hours sitting.

• Someone suffering from chronic lower back pain, hip pain, or sciatica.

• Frustrated that your current "ergonomic" chair just isn't cutting it.

...then the Anthros Chair is worth the investment. It's the one piece of equipment designed to give you pain relief, restored focus, and better posture for years to come.

I know that feeling. The fresh smell of a new GPU box. The brand new thumbsticks on your dream controller. Upgrading your gaming setup is a rite of passage, a necessary step in the quest for an ultimate gamer and enthusiast.

However, what about the old tech? The loyal tech that saw you through countless raging moments and all-night sessions? That old graphics card that can no longer handle the latest AAA titles? The controller with the obvious analog drift? The pile of tech wasting away in your closet?

Too often, this e-waste graveyard ends up in one place: the landfill. And that’s a game-over scenario for our planet.

The Reality of Trashed Tech

Throwing your old electronics in the trashcan is more than just wasteful; it's actively harmful. Unlike a banana peel or a cardboard box, your gaming gear is a complex piece of technology packed with heavy metals and toxic materials.

When a GPU, controller, or motherboard is dumped in a landfill, it begins to break down. This process leaches toxic substances directly into the environment, and eventually, our water supply and crops. These include:

• Lead (Pb): Found in circuit boards and soldering. Lead is a potent neurotoxin that can contaminate soil and groundwater, posing serious health risks to wildlife and humans.

• Mercury (Hg): Often used in lighting components of monitors and motherboards. Mercury is extremely toxic and can cause severe damage to the nervous system, digestive system, and kidneys.

• Cadmium (Cd): Found in rechargeable batteries (like those in wireless controllers) and circuit boards. Cadmium is a known carcinogen that can accumulate in the environment.

• Flame Retardants (BFRs): Used in plastic casings to prevent fires. These chemicals are persistent pollutants that build up in the food chain and are linked to numerous health problems.

Basically, every piece of tech thrown into a landfill is a toxic bomb waiting to go off. For gamers, folks who use strategy and smart plays, this is a play we can no longer afford to make.

Upgrade Your Recycling Game with Trashie.io

So, what’s the solution? You could spend time searching for a local e-waste facility, hoping they accept your specific items, and then drive it there yourself. Or, you can make the smarter play.

Introducing the Trashie.io Tech Take Back Bag. They’ve created a hassle-free way for gamers and tech enthusiasts to responsibly dispose of their electronic waste. What used to be a chore has turned into a three-step process:

1. Get the Bag: Head over to Trashie.io and order your Tech Take Back Box. It’s delivered right to your door.

   • Modems & Routers

   • Cable Boxes (e.g., Roku, Apple TV)

   • Digital Cameras

   • Circuit Boards

   • Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant devices

   • Gaming Controllers & Joysticks

   • Webcams

   • Cables, Wires, & Power Cords

   • Old PC Components (RAM, CPUs, Motherboards)

3. Ship It Out: Once your box is full, simply scan the QR code on the front to generate a prepaid shipping label. Drop it off, and you're done. Your old gear is now on its final quest.

Your Gear's New Quest: A Heroic End

When you send your e-waste to Trashie.io, you’re not just decluttering — you're becoming part of a sustainable solution. They ensure that every component is handled responsibly. Valuable materials like gold, copper, and aluminum are recovered and put back into the manufacturing stream, reducing the need for destructive mining. The harmful elements are safely extracted and disposed of, preventing them from poisoning our environment.

You gave your gear a glorious life in the digital world. Now, give it a heroic, meaningful end in the real one.

Don't Trash Your Legacy. Recycle It.

Your gaming journey is defined by the choices you make. Choosing the right loadout, the right strategy, the right team. Choosing how you dispose of your old tech is just as important. It's a reflection of your impact, not just in-game, but on the world we all share.

Stop letting your obsolete tech take up space and start making a real difference.

Every single day, our eyes are under constant strain. We're always on smartphones, computers, and tablets for work, school, and entertainment. The prolonged screen time exposes us to something you might not think about: blue light. While it's a natural part of the visible light spectrum, excessive exposure to the blue light can have a significant impact on our eye health and overall well-being. Thankfully, there's a simple and stylish solution: Zenni's Blokz blue light blocking glasses.

The Hidden DangerS of Blue Light

So, what exactly is blue light? Blue light is a high-energy visible (HEV) light with a short wavelength. Our eyes can't filter it out as effectively as other types of light. In the past, the main source of blue light was the sun, and our bodies used this light to regulate our sleep-wake cycles (circadian rhythm). However, with the way digital screens and LED lighting is everywhere, our exposure has increased drastically, especially in the evening.

This overexposure can lead to a range of issues, including:

• Digital Eye Strain: Staring at screens can cause a host of symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, blurred vision, and general eye fatigue. This is often referred to as "computer vision syndrome."

• Disrupted Sleep Patterns: Blue light can suppress the production of melatonin, the hormone that tells your body it's time to sleep. This can make it difficult to fall asleep and impact the quality of your rest. It’s also why melatonin has been sold at an incredible rate lately.

• Potential Long-Term Eye Health Concerns: While more research is needed, some studies suggest that long-term exposure to blue light could be a risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition that can lead to vision loss.

A Clear Solution for a Blurry Problem

This is where Zenni's Blokz lenses come in. Instead of just a coating on the surface, Zenni's advanced technology uses a blue-light-blocking polymer that is actually incorporated into the lens material itself. This means the protection won't scratch off or wear away after normal use. Zenni offers a range of Blokz lenses to fit your specific needs, whether you're a casual user or a heavy user of digital screens.

• Blokz Standard: These are virtually clear lenses designed for all-day protection from both UV rays and HEV blue light. They are a great choice for everyone, from kids to adults, who want to protect their eyes from digital devices and artificial lighting.

• Blokz Plus and Blokz Plus Tints: For those who spend long hours in front of screens, essentially corporate work, these lenses offer enhanced protection. Blokz Plus lenses are a step up, and the Blokz Plus Tints offer even greater blue light filtration with a variety of stylish colors, ensuring you can protect your eyes without sacrificing your personal style.

• Blokz Plus Anti-Fatigue: Specifically designed for heavy screen users and gamers, these lenses feature a subtle magnification at the bottom to help ease eye fatigue during prolonged use.

Why Zenni is Your Best Choice

When it comes to protecting your eyes, Zenni is an affordable game-changer. Here's why you should make the switch and invest in a pair of Blokz glasses today:

• Affordability: Zenni is known for its incredibly competitive pricing. You can get high-quality frames and lenses without breaking the bank, making blue light protection accessible to everyone.

• Style and Selection: With thousands of frames to choose from, you can find the perfect style to match your personality. Blokz lenses can be added to any Zenni frame, so you never have to choose between eye health and fashion.

• Comprehensive Protection: All Blokz lenses not only filter blue light but also block 100% of UV rays, providing all-around protection for your eyes both indoors and out.

• Convenience: The process is simple. Choose your frames, add Blokz lenses to your order, and your new glasses are delivered right to your door.

You can't escape screens in today's world, but you can take a proactive step to protect your eyes and improve your overall health. By filtering out harmful blue light, Zenni's Blokz lenses can help reduce eye strain, improve your sleep, and contribute to long-term eye health. It's an investment in your well-being that you'll feel every single day.

While ripping open packs on my YouTube stream, I pulled one of the top cards from Temporal Forces expansion pack! I was very excited to get this pull, as I haven’t owned a high quality card that could be graded yet. This card looks to be in pretty good condition, and I may send it off to get graded — either with PSA or Beckett. I’m hoping to get a PSA 10 or Beckett 10 from the grading process.

This was the top pull of the entire stream. I was able to pull a few other good cards as well, but pulling Gouging Fire EX is 100% the highlight. I also was able to pull some dope holos as well. The holos were Meditite, Medicham, Poochyena, and Mightyena. Those are Pokémon I care about, even when playing on the game. So, those pulls were pretty cool too.

The other major hits I pulled were Iron Thorns, Torterra EX, and Miraidon EX. The collective value of those cards are $50.85. Not bad for RAW prices. I have a few more boxes I plan on opening, and I’m hoping to pull a top hit from those! Those boxes are Prismatic Evolutions, Charizard EX Super Premium, Lillie Premium Tornament Collection and League Battle Deck.

My journey to getting back into Pokémon TCG collecting is taking off! Look forward to doing monthly rips on my channel!

Pokémon cards are the craze of a lot of folks. It’s been a hectic time for folks trying to get into Pokémon cards, as nearly every single store is sold out as soon as they come in stock. It’s been very difficult to even get the most basic Pokémon card pack. While I’ll get into how to have the best chance of grabbing Pokémon cards in another post, today, we’ll talk about what do you need to do in order to start collecting and protecting those cards you love so much!

The types of packs to collect

There are several different types of packs or boxes you can grab from retailers. They each have different reasons to be bought, and you can find a lot of these packs at retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Amazon, Target, and more. So what are the types?

Booster packs: These are the most common way to get a variety of cards. Each pack contains a random assortment of cards — about 10 each pack. They do give you a chance at a rare and holographic cards, but those are not always guaranteed depending on the trading card game expansions.

Elite Trainer Boxes (ETBs): These are the best boxes to get for beginners. ETBs usually include 8-10 booster packs, a set of card sleeves, energy cards, dice, condition markers, player’s guide, and a storage box. This box is also a very good way to store your valuable cards in a box instead of a binder! Some ETBs are also very valuable when they are left unopened!

Theme or Battle Decks: These are pre-constructed decks that provide a ready-to-play set of 60 cards. It also typically comes with a rulebook, playmat, and damage counters. This is one of the best ways to leran how to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

Special Collections or Tins: These products normally feature a few booster packs and specific Pokémon promo cards that you generally won’t find anywhere else. The promo cards can also be very valuable down the line as well. Special collections or tins generally include a guaranteed rare cards.

Singles: Singles are generally the best way to get exactly what you want, when you want. Buying single cards from local game stores or online marketplaces can be very cost-effective for most cards that folks don’t want. So if you’re looking for a Pokémon that’s not as popular, you’ll probably be better off chasing singles.

Now that you know what the different type of Pokémon cards are, let’s talk about how to protect your cards and make sure they don’t lose value in case you ever want to get them graded!

How to protect your Trading cards

There are a few ways you can protect your potential Charizard card from damage, thus making the most out of its value (there’s a near mint Charizard floating around on the ‘net for about $15,000 USD right now!). Damaged cards are the bane of a pristine collector’s existence, so let’s talk protection.

Card sleeves: Card sleeves are crucial to protecting your cards against dust, moisture, random spills, and so on. They are clear, thin plastic sleeves that hold individual cards. For optimal protection, do not store two cards in one sleeve. They are the first line of defense against scratches, dirt, and minor wear. They are also very affordable. I personally recommend using Ultra PRO Card Penny Sleeves (Best Buy | Amazon | Walmart). They are protecting my cards right now!

Toploaders: These are very rigid and durable plastic holders. They provide better protection and are key for protecting your rarer or most valuable cards. Cards are usually placed in a penny sleeve before being placed in a toploader. This allows you to pull the card out by the penny sleeve instead of the card itself, further protecting your card of value. Personally, I use the Ultra PRO Toploaders (Best Buy | Amazon | Walmart). I generally sleeve and topload the valuable cards and cards of my favorite Pokémon.

Binders: Binders are key to protecting your card collection from damage. While tins and the storage boxes from ETBs may be enticing, both have a lot of space, and cards can get unintentionally dinged by being stored in there, especially if they aren’t in a toploader. The best kind of binder is usually one built for card collecting. My current favorite binder is the Ultra PRO Premium 9-Pocket PRO-Binder for Pokemon (Best Buy | Amazon | Walmart). The Ultra PRO binders can cost a bit, but another favorite of mine is CardGuard, which is generally more cost-effective. Another binder I’ve personally seen that is good, but do not own, is the Vault X 12-Pocket Zip Binder.

Binder Pages: Binder pages are another good way to protect your card collection. Most people go for 9-pocket pages to protect their cards. However, there are 12-pocket pages out there as well. If you’re going to go this route, a D-ring binder is preferred. The reason being is that sometimes the rings can put indentations on your cards, diminishing their value. This is not a recommended route from me to protecting your cards, but it is an option you have!

Storage boxes: Storage boxes are a good way to store a bunch of bulk, uncommon or cards you don’t care about being damaged. It’s a neat way to clean up a space and have an aestic box dazzling up the room. Most storage boxes come from ETBs or people will use the tins to store these type of cards. Some common cards do end up being valuable at times, but generally, they do not hold a great vaule long-term.

Other key tips to collecting

We have covered the basics of collecting your cards and protecting them. However, there are some other things Pokémon collectors must know. These are moreso things that can keep you from wasting money and getting caught up in the hype of card collecting.

Graded cards: Graded cards are cards that are graded by companies like PSA, Beckett, and so on. These cards are considered to be in a condition ranking from 1 - 10. Cards graded at a 10 are usually the ones that sell for a LOT of money. They are the most valuable cards and are in the most pristine condition. You should not find an error or blemish on these cards. Getting a card graded can be costly. It’s better to check your cards for blemishes yourself before getting them graded. Plus, not every card is worth grading. It’s key to do your research and see what should be graded instead of rushing to get a card graded.

Resellers: Pokémon cards have been a hot item lately. They fly off the shelves almost as soon as they are put out. Thus, a lot of folks do scalp Pokémon cards and they do it in a dishonest way. Scalpers and some resellers are always looking to take advantage of folks, so it’s imperative to do price comparisons to make sure you’re not overpaying. One of the ways I check resell prices is by going to TCGPlayer.com or Price Charting. While eBay can also be a good place to check prices, I generally find those two to be more accurate to what the market price is and what folks are actually paying for cards. A good way to get cards from a reseller is to check your local shops and create a great rapport with them.

Start small: One of the biggest ways folks lose money on cards is by trying to buy everything at once. Set a budget and stick to it. If the card you want is of a Pokémon that’s not popular, wait a few weeks or a few months after the expansion pack releases and see if the card went down in price. There are a lot of common cards you can get for cheap — some as low as $0.10 USD! Focus on starting small and making sure you don’t go into debt by collecting cards.

That’s all I have for getting into Pokémon card collecting! The most important thing is to take care of your cards with sleeves, a binder, and toploaders. Don’t let your chance at a valuable card get away by just tossing the cards to the side! Take care of your collection and I can’t wait to see what you’ve been collecting!

For about a month and some change, I’ve been feeling … off. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I knew that I’d feel light-headed really quickly and out of nowhere. I could be sitting in my chair, standing up talking to someone, walking in my house, etc. The lightheadedness would come and then leave. Very quickly. I honestly didn’t think it was something too serious, as I’ve dealt with this before with COVID and the flu. I figured I had one of those again.

But every COVID test came back negative. The meds for flu wasn’t working. I ended up stopping my streaming schedule and resting, which slowly got me feeling better but it wasn’t complete. It wasn’t until I took some burritos out of my diet that had 80% cholesterol and 60% sodium PER BURRITO that I felt better. To be honest, I had no idea these burritos were so unhealthy!

But I started feeling better, and I made a YouTube video about my symptoms and what was going on. My cousin called me as soon as she finished watching the video. She works in the healthcare industry and she knew those symptoms and was very concerned. She told me to check my blood pressure. I immediately looked up some machines so I could get a quick test, and found the OMRON 3 Series Blood Pressure Monitor. I placed an order and picked it up that day.

The machine was easy to set up, needing only 4 AA batteries. I did my blood pressure reading and I was shocked. The app that connects to the machine said I was in Hypertension Stage 2 — and dangerously close to Hypertension Crisis. I had just cut out the burritos 4 - 5 days earlier, so I began to wonder was I in the crisis the whole time?! I was floored.

And with that … I made changes.

I now check my blood pressure at a random time daily. I’ve seen it fluctuate, but it’s mainly decreasing from that high number. I also ordered an Apple Watch Series 10 (with celluar) and the 46mm band. I use the Apple Watch to help keep track of my movement throughout the day, my blood pressure, and even my ECG. I’m still learning how to set up things on it for better heatlh, but I’m very proud to have gotten this watch, as I realize it makes me want to move more to hit my goals.

I also decided to start taking supplements for blood pressure. I did some research and found out that beets are AMAZING for regulating heart health, so I decided to focus on supplements that contain beets. My cousin recommended beet supplements as well, and we both landed on HumanN SuperBeets Heart Gummies. These gummies are tasty, and they aren’t too expensive either. I’m taking two a day, and I expect it to help regulate my heart health and blood pressure.

My fitness friends have also been on me about exercising! I’ve started doing random exercises at random times, as I haven’t truly exercised in a long time. My goal is to meet up with a trainer friend of mine and begin implementing his strategies and workouts. They have made sure I start doing more movement instead of sitting at a computer all day working.

All in all, I’ve made some changes, but there’s more to come. We are already adding more fruits and vegetables in the house, and I cut back on my sugar intake even more. I barely consume sugar these days anyway, but cutting back more doesn’t hurt!

I look forward to documenting my fitness journey! I will doing my weigh in on May 1 and we will see how the next few months go!

It’s always a good time when I’m invited to the YouTube Creator Collective Event. This one was in Dallas, Tex. at the Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens. I met a lot of cool folks — some I knew online and some I’d never heard of. Everyone was a vibe, and we all had a great time!

I also got to make my own tea! I’m not sure what I picked, but I know one had eldeberry and goji berry mixed with black tea. The other tea bases were rooibos and green. I told the tea crafters to go wild on those two and put whatever they wanted in there. I haven’t tried the teas yet, but I’ll be doing so soon!
