The word "linen" doesn't exactly ooze masculinity. In fact, it makes us think of lace bedspreads and light blue Yankee Candles, neither of which we would like to spend any time or brain power on contemplating. While linen isn't exactly a prominent textile in the goods we normally seek out, these notebooks from Tanner ... continue reading
There’s something about skulls that makes them inherently cool—regardless of their purpose. If drinking out of them, storing things in them and having them on your walls aren’t enough, now you can write with one too with this Skull Graphite Pencil. Made of pure graphite, and coated with a polymer to prevent staining ... 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 anyone was going to redesign the way we think about writing instruments, it was going to be the Germans. Pencils don't need to be a simple tube of wood filled with "lead" and capped with an ugly pink eraser that will just inevitably break off. Based on what Gerhard Wörther came up with, pencils can actually be ... continue reading
Art is fun to look at, but interacting with it is generally frowned upon. Not only do these graphite sculptures look good, they’re also writing utensils. Since they’re made of graphite and coated in a special polymer, they won’t stain your hands as you pencil in dates, write your magnum opus or create your DaVinci. ... continue reading
Try as we might, we've never been able to go completely paperless. No amount of "notebook" apps will ever replace the strange sense of accomplishment we get from actually writing something down in a notebook with a pen or pencil. It's a chance to use all those writing skills you used in grade school and something you ... continue reading
Outside of the cool gadgets, Minority Report was an almost completely forgettable film. The dialog was bad and the acting was worse, but everyone wanted a touch screen computer they could swipe things across when it came out... and now everyone has iPads. That hard part is already done and all you're left with is figuring ... continue reading
Do you go through notebooks like you go through beer? Do you have a to-do list that never seems to end and an ever growing list of things you really don’t want to forget? It took us a while, but we finally realized we needed a pen as cool and convenient as the notebook we carry around all the time. Something that ... continue reading
Are these notebooks the greatest thing since sliced bread? We don't know. You can't throw a few pieces of cajun turkey and a slice of cheddar on them for lunch, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. In case the name didn't give it away, this is a package of notebooks (twelve to be exact) designed to look like individual ... continue reading
If you have a to-do list that’s too long to fit in one of our Shit I Gotta Fucking Get Done notebooks or you’re just writing down something you want to be a little more permanent, you probably want to step up to something closer to a Moleskine. It’s not really a notebook you can carry around in your pocket all ... continue reading
With over fifteen different apps on our phones (and countless more available) for reminders, appointments, notes and to-dos, not to mention e-mail, it's a wonder that we even interact with paper anymore. And yet, like clockwork, we find ourselves whipping out a pocket notebook to write something down at least a few ... continue reading
Next to guns, gigantic machines capable of moving the earth are pretty much the coolest things out there. Just looking at them sends us back to sandboxes filled with Tonka trucks when we were five. It's a crazy sort of awe and mystery that even the most ridiculous new cell phone can't duplicate. The Heavy Equipment ... continue reading
At this point, it's all but assumed that every one of you reading this owns at least one nice pen. You probably also own at least one nice bag, one set of cups and some pretty sweet accessories for your phone. What's the point? Owning one doesn't mean you can't own more. Render K is the perfect pen for those of you ... continue reading
The last time we had anything that stored pencils in it, it was a tin case emblazoned with Batman, and not the black clad Dark Knight, no, we're talking blue and gray garb. So it's been a while since we've carried around a bunch of #2's. Thanks to this pencil holder from Travelteq, we're beginning to think about ... continue reading
We can safely say this is the most excited we've ever been about copy paper. After watching The Office for seasons on end and getting sucked into the inner workings of the lamest/most hilarious workplace on television, we're finally able to get our hands on some real Dunder Mifflin Copy Paper. Our favorite TV shows ... continue reading
Normally hearing the term "inbox" gives us a slight anxiety attack. We think of all the emails we've put off responding to that are now buried in a pile of spam trying to sell us "enhancement" pills, painkillers and toner cartridges. No thank you. We would feel a little better about tackling that inbox if we had ... continue reading
