With options like Dropbox, Drive and Skydrive (yes, they’re actually two different things), you probably have little or no use for anything that connects via USB that isn’t a keyboard or mouse. But if you do find yourself taking the occasional file to or from work, Montana has a new 2GB USB stick that’s cooler than most others. Based on their famous BLACK spray paint can, Montana has introduced a new line of jump drives available in knock-out blue, irish green and pure orange. Pop the top off the can and get to work–even if the only tagging you do these days is on Facebook. $TBD

At this point in time, the only thing on your mind is 5:00. The three day weekend is almost upon us and we can’t wait to fire up the grill and crack open one of those new Bourbon County Coffee Stouts or, well, anything else on this list. The only thing that goes with properly cooked meats as well as quality beer and good friends is music. Fire up your laptop or Android phone, kick off this playlist and let the good times roll. Tuesday is going to come too soon anyway, so you might as well enjoy the time you have now. Enjoy the holiday!

Maybe it’s an all too enthralling trip to Hodinkee, or just the fact that we’re kind of sick of the collection of modern watches sitting around, but we’ve been jonesing for a good looking vintage watch for a while. Money isn’t falling from trees these days, so we had to immediately rule out anything that could be sold at a Sotheby’s auction. Thankfully, Buckshot Sonny’s has a collection of authentic, military issue watches from Benrus and Hamilton dated from 1965-1980 that are all just shy of $400. Each watch is lovingly refurbished by master watch repairman Steve Evavold from Chicago’s Division Street Watch Co. You’re getting the same amount of history (if not more) and style as the much more expensive counterparts but at a fraction of the cost. $395

Quirky’s newest product is pretty aptly named. It’s a wallet-sized card made of capacitive material which makes it interact with any touch-screen perfectly with any touch screen device. Why is this important? We’re tired of burrito fingering everything on our iPhones, Androids, iPads and car navigation systems. We love the idea of a stylus, but it never seems to work out quite the way we had imagined. Either it’s a Palm-era stick which makes it more suited to being a toothpick and discarded/lost as easily, or it’s so fat and bulky it’s like playing XBOX with a grizzly bear controller. Either way, it’s something that has to be carried on your person at all times and that’s just a huge pain in the ass. With the Quirky Cipher you just throw it in your wallet, and it’s with you whenever. It’s also worth mentioning that this will prevent smudges. Everyone hates smudges. $TBD

Products that involve wood are fascinating. It doesn’t have to be a desk or a table, it can be a jump drive, or an ipod dock or even a piece of art. Wood grain is visually appealing to us because of its natural qualities and the fact you get lost in it. And while we’re on board with all the products we just mentioned, we’re not slipping into a pair of clogs when we want to get comfortable… or, well, ever. Wooden shoes suck, but that doesn’t make us want that grain affect for our shoes any less. Enter the Penguin Cork Flip Flop. Ok, ok, it’s not exactly wood grain, but it’s probably as close as we’ll ever get and still be comfortable. Soft, squishy flip-flops that can take a bit of a beating (there’s some rubber in addition to the cork) and still look good. Yeah, we said it. Flip flops that look good. $35

You’re probably not even reading this. You saw the picture that marks the delicious intersection between beer and technology and you immediately clicked to buy one. We’re sorry. You can’t actually buy the Guinness QR Pint Glass… yet. We’re sure the hype surrounding it will eventually lead to it going into production, but right now, you can only stare at it from afar or happen into one of the bars in New York where they happen to be filling them. We can’t even tell you which bars they are because we have no idea. What we do know is that if you fill it with swill, it won’t work. If it’s empty, it won’t work. The QR code is activated by the Guinness itself because of its color. $N/A

Yes, Memorial Day is on the horizon. Monday off of work. The start of grilling season. A reason to take a trip somewhere, or consume one to three too many on a Sunday. The inevitable barbecue/family gathering/impromptu vacation is great (and you’ll look good if you’re wearing everything here), but don’t forget to take a moment to remember all the men and women in the Armed Forces that gave their lives and aren’t there to enjoy that beer with you.

It’s finally here! Grilled meat season is upon us ladies and gentlemen. Manning (or womanning) the grill takes a few things: meat (some encased), cold beer, fire, an appetite and tools. Bare minimum, you’ll find yourself using a spatula and tongs. Having a stabbing tool for serving purposes is a bonus, but it’s not absolutely necessary. Regardless, you need one hand for your beer and that means you only have one hand for two (maybe three) tools. That makes efficiency a challenge. What if a brat finishes right as you need to flip a burger? Don’t lose the beer, or the spatula, just get a Stake 3-in-1 BBQ Tool. Part spatula, part tongs, part barbecue fork, the Stake is everything you need to barbecue except the meat–all in one handy tool. $46

Vans is a brand you don’t need any introduction to. We all know their shoes are fantastic, but that’s not the only product they put their name on that’s worth using. They make wallets too, and their Cork Bi-fold is nice enough that you won’t mind taking a credit card out of your existing wallet so you have something new to put all your paper and plastic in. “But guys, I have a slim profile wallet from *insert handmade leathersmith here* that looks really good and doesn’t need to get replaced.” So what? Do you only own one pair of shoes or one tie or one pen? There’s no reason you can’t mix it up every once in a while with something this stylish—especially when it costs less than a decent bottle of vodka. $18

Modular product solutions are great. You get to take a bunch of things designed to work together and play around with them until you have a finished product that works and looks exactly like you want it to. Mission Workshop’s Arkiv Field Pack seems to be the love child their design aesthetic, LEGO and a military bag. It should come as no surprise that it’s awesome. All the Mission Workshop staples are here (cordura, Made in the USA, roll-tops, YKK zippers, ridiculous waterproofing, the list goes on), but the addition of the Arkiv System gives you a way to customize your Field Pack with add-ons like a laptop case, folio, tool bag, and a cell phone pocket. You can check out how the system works in the Arkiv System video, or just pick one up and get to customizing. $209+
