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 have no idea what happened last week - let alone years ago. We've discovered that there's also a lot of shit we gotta fucking get ... continue reading
When it comes to office supplies it seems like every time we find a particular brand and style that we love it eventually ends up getting discontinued long before we have a chance to stock up for the rest of our lives. This is particularly true when it comes to pencils. If you use a pencil frequently you understand ... continue reading
For a no-frills flask that's perfect to toss in your bag when you're out camping or exploring, turn to Stanley. The classic brand has been crafting solid, well-made food and drink gear since 1913. Their latest flask is the first in the Adventure Series which is aimed at being both essential and rugged. With more grip ... continue reading
Along with playing Words with Friends (this is still cool, right?), there are a lot of things your iPhone/Droid/Blackberry is good for. One thing it's not good for is taking notes. We know it's easy to do because you probably already have your phone out—and it's certainly capable of taking your dictation—but it's ... continue reading
We're suckers for any product that serves multiple purposes. Slap a radio on that toaster and we are sold. When said product is actually super useful and makes our current workspace just a little bit sharper, well than that is a bonus. For us iPad users (though obviously it works on other touchscreen devices) the ... continue reading
Lamy's Safari Charcoal Collection (you get to pick between a rollerball pen, ballpoint pen or mechanical pencil) isn't a collection of the nicest writing implements you'll ever own, but they're the note-taking instruments you'll have on you at all times. Each of the indispensable tools is made of matte charcoal ABS ... continue reading
Unlike the word processing programs (let's just lump Excel and Powerpoint in here for argument's sake too) you use to finalize reports, write memos and tally sales, real life doesn't have an undo button. You might be able to ctrl+z your way into that promotion, but it won't unsend an email or unsign important documents. ... continue reading
We're all for the convenience of e-mail, instant messaging, texting, Facebook messages, Twitter, Google + and whatever the new electronic communication method of choice will be tomorrow, but they all feel cold and emotionless. There's only so much that emoticons and hearts can convey, so if you really want to get your ... continue reading
Your average guy uses an an average pen: unremarkable and cheap. It writes, and that's the extent of its talents (maybe you occasionally use it to pensively chew on). But considering we all use a writing implement virtually every single day, it makes sense that aforementioned implement incorporates a little more into ... continue reading
People that live in the Far East have access to a lot of really cool stuff that never makes it way stateside, and we're not talking Hello Kitty and schoolgirls. Along with sweet kicks and some foreign soil only automobiles, there is a pen that's well worth importing. It's called the Pilot Hi-Tec-C and the odds of finding ... continue reading
A smart guy will keep a stock of cards handy for whatever holiday, celebration or event comes up. Every situation possible is covered. That being said, we can't think of any situation where this card is called for. You sure as hell aren't passing it off as a Christmas card to Grandma or a sympathy card for someone's ... continue reading
How many men do you know that own a Moleskine? Even if you believe the hype (which you shouldn't), the list includes none other than: Wilde, van Gogh, Picasso and Hemingway. Technically, they all used "similar style black notebooks," but history has a funny way of remembering the Moleskine as the notebook of one (or ... continue reading
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
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
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
