Often in life it seems that when two items are paired together it just doesn’t seem quite right; like the spork, peanut butter and jelly in the same jar, rabbits and eggs, LiLo and reality, and a measuring tape glued to a small square.

Is this a worthy tool or one I just want to smash repeatedly with another, bigger tool? Am I paying too much? Does it do what it claims to? If a butter knife can land me in the ER, how will I ever manage to operate this thing? Well here are some top blogs and handy resources for tools — guides to the ones to avoid and to those that actually make your life easier. [click to continue…]
As you may have noticed, there seems to be no limit on movies, shows, toys, cartoons, and web information relating to all things zombie. In fact, there were no less than 26 zombie movies released in 2011. I know – pretty ridiculous – but guess what, there are a bunch more coming out in the year 2012. So with this plethora of atrocities coming to your video queue or to a movie theater near you, we at HomeFixated thought it was time to give a list of sweet tools that you could use during a zombie apocalypse or even just a highly contested scrabble game.
