Long ago, cowboys decided to take a little piece of functional hardware--the belt buckle--and turn it into an accessory. We're not about to advocate you go out and get yourself a rodeo-ready belt buckle so big you could eat your eggs off it... unless you happen to ride in rodeos…
Beer is like the Pavlovian trigger-word for most men. We love the stuff--truly, madly, deeply--but many of us don't know much about the object of our affection. There are many kinds of beers made many different ways with many different ingredients, and in order to be a better drinker lover,…
Ah those crazy Danish. They've come up with another great piece of design. The Libratone Speaker is completely wireless, but unlike other wireless speakers, sound quality is not sacrificed. Its unique design projects sound not just forward and out but behind as well, reflecting off nearby walls and creating a…
Somehow, it's been ten years already since Threadless emerged onto the scene. We're not sure how this happened, as a few weeks ago it seemed Facebook was still reserved for .edu addresses and Altavista was still... well, around. But Threadless, the well-known online t-shirt store that prints the most popular…
Tell us if this rings a bell. You mosey on down to the grocers. You see that they've got ribeyes on sale. Tremendous. You grab two, and why not some veggies to throw on the grill, and of course a six-pack of... nothing. Turns out that little canvas bag you…
Not a feminine hygiene product. Promise. The Veebeam allows you to stream any and all media--photos, audio, video, even HD video--from your laptop or desktop computer onto that brand new HDTV you treat like a holy relic. No more wires or fiddling with inputs and connections; the Veebeam streams data…
We know, we thought the same thing too. At first glance, this is obviously one of those cases assassins flip open on a roof, pull out the parts to a high-tech rifle, assemble it, and take aim at some sap who pissed off the wrong peeps. But you'd be wrong,…
Say what you will about the cult of Apple, but one can't deny they don't make some damn fine pieces of technology. The new Cinema display--long a bar-setter for the display market--is due for its next revamp with the introduction of high-efficiency, high-performance LED backlighting. What does that mean? Brighter…
We think that if you own an expensive and relatively fragile piece of technology such as an iPhone, you ought to do it the honor of protecting it. It's only a matter of time before you drop it when you're drunk, or drop it when you're not drunk but trying…
There are two certainties in life--age brings wisdom, and we all get old. When we do, we end up sitting on barstools sharing dirty stories from our glory days our wisdom with other old folks over cocktails like Satan's Whiskers, the Singapore Sling, and the Rusty Nail. The bad news…
The first thing you notice about Ted Vasin is that he looks like a painter version of a homeless version of a long-haired version of Hunter S. Thompson. And his paintings are equally as unqiue. Extremely well-rendered images are made in the contrasting styles of pencil sketch and vibrant abstract…
Back in the day when one dialed a number on a phone with an actual rotating dial, beer cans and soda pop opened by way of nifty little pull tabs. Fast forward a half dozen decades and that classic curly shape is now reborn as a bottle opener. The retro…
Unless you've been living in a cave with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears, you're familiar with Steve McQueen's "The Great Escape". If you're familiar with "The Great Escape", you're familiar with Steve's transport du jour, the motorcycle. Ergo, you're familiar with this motorcycle. Modeled after the…
We love good graphic design, we love good typography, and we love good movies. When they all coincide, it creates the kind of awesome that makes you pinch yourself. Think walking into your bedroom and finding Megan Fox in her undies watching ESPN and offering you a pulled pork sandwich.…
Belts are perhaps the most undervalued articles of clothing a guy owns. Think about it. Belts are rarely noticed--sometimes their buckles are (especially at Rodeos), but they perform the important task of holding your pants up. Sometimes it's good to have your pants around your ankles (the obvious situation that…
