If you're like us, you go through Moleskine notebooks at an incredible rate. The thing is, they don't ever get filled up, we just either get excited about getting a fresh new one or our scribbles became so illegible (See: Written while drunk) that we think the beauty of it has been destroyed. A simple solution ... continue reading
There are a lot of things we'd like to own if we could take a "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" ray-gun to them: One of those top secret stealth helicopters that crashed during the bin Laden raid, a giraffe like the guy from the Direct TV commercial, the Statue of Liberty. Just like designer Daniel Ballou however, we ... continue reading

There are times in your life when a kid will come up to you with something he/she created (perhaps your own child) and that thing will be without a doubt, 100% crap. It may be a painting, a science fair experiment or a meal (mmm Play-Doh Fries), but whatever it is, as a self-respecting adult you will tell the youngster ... continue reading
When you're tagging now, it's probably just pictures of your escapades - or your kids - on Facebook, but it wasn't always that way. Once upon a time, your weapon of choice was a spray can and not an iPhone. Growing up doesn't have to mean ditching your past if you have a Kaligraffiti pen. The blue and orange splatter ... continue reading
Contrary to popular belief (action movies), men are, in fact, capable of emotion. We might not regularly show it - and we definitely won't say it aloud - but we do occasionally miss people. Instead of simply say it over the phone email, take the high road and send something tangible like this "Miss You" card from Etsy ... continue reading

If you're looking for security and utility on an everyday basis you need to carry a blade. Carrying a knife at all times can seem a little ominous at first, but you never know when you're going to have to defend yourself from a perp - or an errant thread on your jacket. At 2 3/4" closed, this titanium folding knife ... continue reading
There are few things in life as serious as a bullet. Most of us don't have to rely on one of man's most deadly weapons on a regular basis, so we don't have use for bullets regularly. Pens are a different story. Signing checks, bar tabs and taking notes will be less of a chore and more of a reason to show off - if you ... continue reading
When you travel, how do you carry your toiletries? 3-1-1- quart size Ziploc bag? Dopp Kit? Are you one of those guys that just checks his bag with a random collection of shampoos, conditioners and colognes? Don't answer those questions because it doesn't matter. Regardless of how you travel (or even go to the gym), ... continue reading
Using most iPad or iPhone cases to prop up your gadget leaves you with one or two angles at best. In a way, you'd be better off leaning it against a stack of pillows, Esquire's or a six-pack you're working on. With the Spiderpodium and Spiderpodium Tablet you can angle your cellphone or tablet just about anyway ... continue reading
We don't remember much from our business classes at community college, but the words of one particularly influential professor will stick with us for the rest of our lives. "No one likes change but a wet baby." Generally, he's right. He couldn't be further from the truth when it comes to our online shopping addiction. ... continue reading
Mixing business and pleasure might be frowned upon, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't have business cards on you at all times. You never know when you're going to run into a potential business partner - or a free lunch fishbowl - so best to be prepared. Unless you want to advertise the fact you're only as serious ... continue reading
You know Jack. Jack is the guy you go to when you want quality clothes at bargain basement prices. You know, clothes without colored labels from brands you can't pronounce - clothes you'll actually wear. Since the seasons are changing, that means it's time to start stocking up on spring essentials like American Apparel ... continue reading

Anything and everything that appeals to a man of discerning taste delivered right to your desktop. Then we thought to ourselves, "Why not deliver Cool Material right to your doorstep?" The Cool Material Shop was born. ... continue reading
Despite what we told ourselves when we bought them, we really don’t use our iPads for work like we said we would when we tried to justify the expense. We use them to watch non-Flash videos, download pages of apps and fling birds across their screen. While this iPad Dry Erase Board from UI Stencils may not possess ... continue reading
