This Macallan and UWERK Flask Holds Two Whiskeys

If you've ever looked at a flask and thought it wasn't complicated or engineered enough, Macallan and UWERK have solved your problem. The two companies joined forces to take the traditional, simple flask and turn it into something most people would have to major in in college to understand. The…

IKEA Snap Together Furniture

We're not trying to brag, but we never encountered the frustration with assembling IKEA furniture that everyone complains about. Part of the attraction of IKEA was the sense of accomplishment we had after our bed/bookshelf/desk/table was finally put together. Evidently we're in the minority though, because IKEA is introducing the wedge…

Banksy Has a New Hotel In Bethlehem

Banksy's never been shy about addressing tumultuous politics, so it had to be only a matter of time before the notorious street artist got involved in Israeli/Palestinian relations. The artist's significant contribution to the conflict is the new Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem. The hotel almost touches the infamous West Bank barrier,…

‘Deadpool 2’ Teaser Trailer

Those who saw Logan this past weekend were ready for a hard R take on Hugh Jackman's career defining character, with adamantium-enabled dismemberment and Patrick Stewart's dignified vulgarity. What they weren't expecting was an appearance by the merc-with-a-mouth, as any hopes of a Wolverine/Deadpool team-up are strictly relegated to paper. And…

FamousBrick Makes All Your Favorite Tech Giants Lego People

Lego has really stepped up its game in terms of fictional characters, but they've left the characters of the nonfiction world sadly behind. Sure, it's great to have Batman and Indiana Jones fly the Millennium Falcon together, but what if we want to have little yellow Steve Jobs and little…

Pretend to Be a Modern English Lord at the Backwater House

We're always on the lookout for our next vacation destination and we may have just found it. The Backwater House is a sort of modern take on the traditional log cabin. Its interior has a clean, updated look that both contradicts and compliments its secluded lagoon surroundings. The house is…

Halo is the World’s First Fully Compostable Coffee Pod

Coffee pods haven't exactly been the greatest thing for the environment. It would seem everyone prioritizes their morning buzz over environmentally sustainable products. Everyone except Nils Leonard. Leonard, previously chief creative officer of renowned advertising firm Grey London, recently launched Halo, the first completely compostable coffee pod company. Along with…

Sean Woolsey Studio Libation Station

Sean Woolsey Studio quickly became one of our favorite furniture design studios, and we've been trying to keep up with what the studio's been up to. Besides their James Bond and Waterfall desks, we're excited about their Libation Station, a shelf system designed as a sort of bar on the…

David Fincher’s Netflix Original Series, ‘Mindhunter,’ Gets Its First Trailer

As we all know, the main objective of a trailer is to convince people to watch something without giving away the entire plot. And while a surprising number of movies have forgotten that, Mindhunter isn't one of them. The bulk of the trailer is voiceover work on a growing Rorschach test of…

Wheel Minimalist Turntable

A significant part of the reason so many vinyl collections sit unused in basements and storage units is the bulky nature of most turntables. People don't want to add a boxy, wired monstrosity to their otherwise well organized entertainment center. But with Wheel, that won't be a problem. The team…

Turn Any Surface into a Touchscreen with the Xperia Touch

One of the staples of futuristic technology is its independence of screens and now we're one step closer to that future. The Sony Xperia Touch is a projector/Android tablet hybrid that can project a touchscreen onto any flat surface, vertical or horizontal. That means you can play touch driven games on a…

Rolex Watches in the Movies

You don't realize how often it is until it's pointed out to you, but watches are always popping up in movies. People checking the time, spies synchronizing watches, desperate travelers pawning an expensive timepiece to fund their trips, we've seen plenty of all of those. So, apparently, has Rolex and…

The AirOPUS Trailer Tent Inflates in 90 Seconds

Part of the reason camping probably isn't as popular as it could be is how long it can take to set up a tent. Messing with poles, arguing about placement, and inevitably losing the instructions can put a significant damper on what is supposed to be a fun, relaxing weekend…
