What can you get done in your crawlspace or other tiny nook of the house? Wait, maybe we don't want to know the answer to that. Kevin and Ginny are two young graphic designers who [...]

We're going to go out on a limb and say that there isn't anyone reading this who hasn't had "a catch" with someone they cared about before. Maybe you tossed around the ball with your [...]

The list of things we don't love from CXXVI is short. Very short. From the waist up, CXXVI made just about everything thing you needed for a day or night on the town and a [...]

Dressing up is a pain in the ass. Yeah we want to look good and be "presentable," but stiff collars and stuffy jackets are about as appealing as a t-shirt made of Brillo pads. When [...]

Casio. Timex. Suunto. Smith & Wesson. Invicta. Seiko. All of them make slim profile, eye catching military watches that look cool without going overboard. Nixon, the same people that brought us one of the first [...]
