Some people are just way too damn creative to be limited to one particular outlet. Designer / artist / writer / founder / general creative Joel Pirela is one of those guys. A contributor to Design Milk and Apartment Therapy, Pirela also founded Blue Ant Studio and Blue Art Studio. For the purposes of this post, the ... continue reading
March Madness is upon us. Say goodbye to quality Internet connections at the office during lunch time. Say goodbye to being able to sneak away and hole up in the conference room with the TV to get work done. E-mail the work wife, cut down on the after work business meetings and polish off the bracket. The NCAA prints ... continue reading
You probably already know the benefits of using whiskey stones instead of ice in your drink. Basically, they cool your drink without watering it down so you get all the flavor you expect at a bit more pleasant temperature. With these Icon Whiskey Stones, you can add a bit more fun to your boozing experience. Available ... continue reading
If you own a 64 oz growler you've probably come across a bit of an issue: That beer doesn't stay fresh long after you open it. Okay, this might not be an issue for some of you (we know plenty of guys who easily crush 64 oz of booze in the span of a few days), but if you've got your fridge stocked and need to keep that ... continue reading
There is no denying the excellence of the Mason jar. The ubiquitous glass container is the kitchen equivalent of galvanized gas pipe in that it’s good for way more than it was originally intended. Yeah, you can use it to preserve fruit. But it’s also good for storing screws and nails on the workbench, planting ... continue reading
Apparently the folks over at Pop Chart Lab actually have some spare time on their hands despite crafting insanely elaborate taxonomy prints. These Concrete Beer Coasters take much of the info from the company's Very Many Varieties of Beer print, and slap it down under your brewski. Each coaster breaks down a style ... continue reading
If you want something done right, you're supposed to do it yourself. That's exactly what happened with this Gentleman's Survival Kit we found. We can't give you all the background about what lead blogger pscmpf to create this kit, but it probably went how a lot of projects normally go. "I need a cool way to display/carry/store ... continue reading

You can get your Instagram pictures printed on almost anything you can dream up. iPhone cases? Sure. Stainless steel? No problem. Wood, plastic, sheets, pillow cases, the list goes on and on. Whatever size you want, whatever material you want. Photocarver wants you to think outside the box of the frame... by milling ... continue reading
There are plenty of things that guys have been doing regularly for as long as we can remember that can still benefit from a procedural and material face lift every once in a while. Mobile calling wasn't new when the iPhone came out. Keeping time wasn't new when the wrist watch came out, either. Now, shaving is getting ... continue reading
We love skulls. You can put them on anything, and it's immediately better. It's like putting a bird on it, but slightly more manly and not quite as played out... yet. We also love bottle openers. Combining the two seems pretty obvious and Crranky did just that. One piece of 16 gauge stainless steel carved into the ... continue reading
We've always been partial to a cup of mud over the more sophisticated one lump, served with biscuits alternative that our friends from the across the pond seem to enjoy. But every once in a while--even when we don't have guests--we've been known to enjoy a cup of chamomile to help us get to sleep. Problem is, loose ... continue reading
Not many people know this about us, but we grew up playing Soccer. We know better than to call it that now, but we're American. Back then, there was only soccer. Pelé has been a hero of ours since before we really got into Michael Jordan. Thanks to the people at Umbra, we finally have a proper display case for all ... continue reading
Cards on the table, we never saw ourselves as apron guys until very recently. It's funny how things change when you actually care about the clothes you're wearing on a daily basis. If you don't want to screw up those new chinos, jeans or sweet button down, and don't really feel like changing into your "shitty clothes" ... continue reading
The combination of graph paper, sticky notes, flash cards, legal paper and the black college style notebook that was popular on Ghostwriter back in the day could lead to an entire drawer or backpack of writing accessories. Not in the case of Japanese brand Rezon and designer Hideo Kawamura. They've combined all these ... continue reading
When we're out in the wilderness doing a little camping, we turn to our Stanley Flask for a quick nip to make things a bit warmer and a bit more fun. The company crafts solid, well-made pieces and that's exactly what we want to be storing our Midleton Very Rare in. The flask has already been available in black and ... continue reading
