Vans Hemp Rata Vulc Shoes
Summer brings good things: barbeques, beach time, and fewer clothes on the fairer sex, etcetera. Vans' Hemp 'Rata Vulcs' (no idea) are the newest addition to that list. Durable but soft hemp upper, flexible sole, slip on ease and comfort made it a great summertime tread. The…
Stone Temple Pilots
STP (the band, not the motor oil) had their heyday in the mid-nineties, where they successfully made fans out of nearly every hot-blooded young male alive. For the last decade though, they've been more or less off the radar. With the release of their new self-titled album, the Stone…
Almost Everything About Whiskey
Whiskey is a most fickle mistress. Early in the night it's a great companion: interesting, enjoyable, even warming. And then it sneaks up and suddenly becomes your nemesis, violently shoving you into making bad decisions. Know thy friend/enemy then: Almost Everything About Whiskey--along with setting the bar for books with literal titles--discusses…
Yanko Design | 2020 Harley Davidson
Go ahead and file this one under Automotive Concept Designs That Blow Your Mind Then Never Ever Get Made. Yanko Design's idea of the 2020 Harley Davidson is one beautiful bike. Thoroughly modern, with cues taken from the new Macbook (and--just tossing this out there--Megan Fox), the motorcycle still…
TEAMS Havaianas
Unless you've been living in a cave with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears, you know the 2010 World Cup is a scant few weeks away. This means it's time to gear up and show your colors. Start with Havaianas' TEAM line of flip-flop sandals: each pair…
Blitz Chiller
There is little else in this world as heartbreaking--as tragic, really--as buying a case of nice beer for the pad then forgetting to put it in the fridge. I mean, Scarlett Johansson getting married was pretty damn tragic, but wanting a nice cold beer and having only tepid ones available is right…
Silveira Personal Watercrafts
Silveira's Personal Watercraft look like a stealth fighter had a threesome with a pile of carbon fiber and a toboggan. Significantly smaller than the industry standard, Silveira's design brings the rider much lower and closer to both the craft and the water. The diminished size means greater maneuverability, and the…
Urban Outfitters Gun Handle Mug
Firearms and drinking aren't exactly fantastic bedfellows, unless it's the Gun Handle Mug from Urban Outfitters. Yes, as coffee mugs go it's slightly more... uh, aggressive... than the one you got from the National Public Radio pledge drive. And yes, the bad jokes come easily (mugshot... badum-psh), but we've…
Moshi Voice Control Alarm Clock Radio
Not only is it impressive that Moshi's Alarm Clock Radio is voice-controlled, it's impressive that it recognizes and interprets a variety of colorful expletives and nearly a dozen of your commands. You can even perform complex tasks with it, like setting the time via voice command or throwing it into…
Black Rubber Watch
When men speak of wearing rubber, it's usually about the contraceptive kind. Stone's creatively-named Black Rubber Watch is the exception to that rule. Smooth black rubber comprises the clasp, band, and housing, giving it a unique look that's a far cry from the chunky metal of countless Diesels and…
Why Didn’t I Think of That? 101 Inventions that Changed the World
Anthony Rubino's book "Why Didn't I Think of That?" will make you feel dumb. Not in the same way reading James Joyce will, or hearing how by the age of five, Mozart had written three symphonies, two operas, and made the Kessel run in twelve parsecs. Instead Rubino's book describes the…
TATO Commuter Bicycle
If you ride to work, you ought to check out TATO’s Commuter Bike. It’s unique frame provides a storage space nearly 4 inches wide running the length of the frame, giving you 12.16 liters of space. It’s a perfect fit for a briefcase, bookbag, 12.16 liters of beer, whatever. Moreover,…
Ammo ShotShell
Taking a shot from a shot. Like sliced bread, the wheel, or high heels, the concept is genius, but for some reason we hadn't thought of it. AMMO's ShotShell is just that: a shot glass in the shape of a shotgun shell, made from sturdy stainless steel and capable of…
