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 [...]

There are few male accessories that add such a quick touch of class as the pocket square. One minute you're just another dude in a suit and the next you're being asked for champagne recommendations, smoking [...]

You've probably even surprised yourself with how much you use your iPad for. At first you thought, "I'll play a few games, use it a bit for work, maybe watch a movie or two on it," [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

If you spend your days hunched over a keyboard like a code writing Quasimodo, you probably have little contact with the outside world. This isn't good. You need to keep up your relationships outside of dealing [...]

There are a few things you need to know about these Atoma notebooks from Belgium. First, everything is in German which, while confusing, makes them even cooler in our opinion. Second, Atoma has been making [...]

Pens are cool. Magic 8-Balls are cool. Naturally, combining the two is a fantastic idea. Which is, obviously, what this pen is all about. Is that third Jager bomb going to end up haunting me [...]

We've said it before and we'll say it again--everything is cooler when it's housed in stainless. Drinks, appliances and even pens are prettier, more fun to use and probably even more efficient when their clad [...]

If you're looking for a permanent, more authoritarian point when writing, you use a pen not a pencil. If you also want to look really cool in the process, skip the choice between blue or [...]

Over the past few years, lots of men decided that they wanted to start dressing better. It wasn't necessarily about a dress code or impressing anyone (those are both positive byproducts), it was just about [...]

We can't pinpoint precisely when it happened, but our memory just isn't what it used to be. If Facebook didn't keep track of history and Foursquare didn't keep track of where we were, we'd [...]

Calling your to-do list by another name isn’t going to change the way you feel about it. Whether it’s your “Honey Do List” for stuff around the house or a “Productivity Schedule” for the office, [...]
