How to Make Bacon from Scratch

Bacon.  It has a wonderful place in human history. Humans have eaten it for thousands of years, traded it as a staple of economies, and most recently, turned it into an internet meme. It’s no mystery why we have a love affair with Bacon. It’s the Christina Hendricks of meat…

Ryobi Tek4 4V Infrared Thermometer

The Ryobi Tek4 infared thermometer is one of those things that combines many innate joys of the male mind.  It looks like a laser gun, you get to "shoot" it at anything and everything, and it supplies random information at the press of a button. Moreover, you can shoot it…

Hoodie Buddie

Having music on the go is always nice.  The flipside of that coin of course is carrying earbuds or headphones, which scientists in obscure European laboratories have recently discovered are not only predisposed to getting tangled and/or in the way, it turns out it's a mathematical certainty.   Hoodie Buddie…

Slang Flask

We appreciate Urban Outfitter's Slang Flask for its candor. Let's be honest for a second. When you use a flask, you're drinking. And when you're drinking--if you're like us--you're kind of an asshole. That's truth in advertising right there. Besides, way we see it, at least you're an honest asshole. And that's…

Toshiba Libretto W100 Tablet

The engineers at Toshiba got a little tired of the iPad hogging the spotlight, so they're releasing their W100 onto the market. We're guessing those engineers where the ones who decided to one-up the iPad--literally--by adding another screen. Yep, this thing has two, like a really fast and beautiful and…

Oceanist Large Messenger Bag

Simple is good, but today's market is flooded with messenger bags that have forgotten the concept.  They come tailored with pockets for everything: your cellphone, your iPod, your laptop, some spare change, your pen, a piece of dental floss, some lint you found the other day in your pants, a…

William-Sonoma Smoker Box

Summer is arriving, and with it comes all sorts of good things beyond warm weather.  Actually, only bikinis and grilling come to mind right now, but both of those are biggies. And while we can't speak much on bikinis (they're awesome, the end.), we can say grilling takes on a…

Belkin Charging Station

These days we have more portable electronic devices than ever, and with each comes an ungainly charger, often with a ton of wiring and a big black transformer box (for those who have no clue as to the way electricity works, a transformer box has nothing to do with Michael…

Nelson Industrial Nozzle

Look, standing in your yard and watering the flowers isn't exactly going to redefine the idea of masculinity.  I mean, it's admirable that you take care of your garden, but... it's not going to make you feel like a badass.  The folks at Nelson Industrial decided to incorporate a little…

Entourage: The Sixth Season

Vince, Drama, Turtle, and E.  They sound like the names of psychotropic drugs, but they're characters we all know, and--let's be honest--all want to be.   The sixth season of HBO's hit series Entourage is now available on DVD, which means you can relieve the Hollywood glory/fast times/hot ladies to…

Moleskine Kindle Cover with Notebook

If you're one of those crazy mavericks who decided to go the Kindle route rather than lemming off the Apple cliff with the iPad, we have something for you.  A high five.  Beyond that though, the Moleskine Kindle case is pretty cool... it covers your kindle, saving you from enduring…

Leg Opener

Guys have, out of necessity, invented bizarre and ingenious ways to open beers.  Fair enough when you're out at the tailgate, but when at home, substitute ingenuity for class, and, ideally, some sexy.  The Leg Opener is just that: a sexy female leg cast in stainless steel, complete with stiletto for popping the tops…

The Housing Watch

These days, there seem to be so many watches out there it can be hard to differentiate.  And frankly, most watches all serve the same function--giving your wrist a funky tan line.  Also, telling time.  The Housing Watch has another service that other timepieces don't though: it can give you…

Husqvarna 355Fx

Husqvarna--a power tool company that has recently won awards for design, quality, and effectiveness against zombies--has just released the 355Fx, a massive saw device used for "forestry clearing".  Think about that for a second.  This thing actually clears forests.  Not weeds, forests.   We'd usually chalk that kind of talk up to…

iPhone 4 Gumdrop Cases

Firstly, we're not gonna lie... we'll likely be getting iPhone 4's when they debut, just like you.  That rhymed. Secondly, considering one our editors has--while drunk--accidentally dropped his current iPhone down an elevator shaft (we are not making this up), it's probably best to buy that new iPhone 4 a…
