Property Of… Alfred Work Bag
No, not property of Alfred Work. Made by Property Of... and that's it. No, no, just Property Of.... Like, Property Of dot-dot-derrrrryou know what? Forget it. Cutting to the chase: the Alfred work bag operates under the less-is-more principle. A super simple design results in a clean and handsome look,…
Obey Au Portant Sweatshirt
A damn fine sweatshirt. That's what this is. A pull-over fleece with a hood and draw cords, a pouch pocket and a very naval blue and white thin-striped look. In fact, this cotton/polyester blend sweatshirt doesn't have much of a description, but Obey has chosen to state it is "ideal…
Paintings by Dane Lovett
Dane Lovett's still-life's are unlike any we've come across before. They're executed in a way that makes them remarkably realistic, and they all incorporate a musical motif. Whether it's a vase of a plant sitting on an old New Order CD or an intriguing stack of old VHS tapes, you'll…
Concrete Wall Wallpaper
Unfinished concrete walls, for some reason, have a pleasing aesthetic. We're not sure why: industrial simplicity? Rugged beauty? Did we really just write "rugged beauty"? Truth remains that it's attractive. And the truth also remains that it doesn't exactly occur frequently in most residential construction. So unless you're living in…
Das ApfelBrett Macbook Cutting Board
So we made a mistake. We originally posted this as a Macbook case, which it most definitely isn't. The editor who did this was carried off from his desk by two large men in suits, taken out behind the barn, and sho... verbally reprimanded. Anyway, Das ApfelBrett is a pretty…

Atari Wall Decals
Pong, Asteroids, Centipede. These are words that should conjure up nostalgic memories of the days when the grandaddies of Xboxes--8 bit arcade games--sucked up our attention as well as our quarters. And while kids these days may not understand how awesome it was to simply shoot a rock with a…
Kensington PowerBack™ Battery Case with Kickstand and Dock
One of the most frustrating things on the planet is having an electronic device die while you're in the middle of using it. That and accidentally biting your tongue. While there is no cure for poor mouth dexterity, you can solve the dead battery device problem on your iPad with…
80’s Boombox Portable Digital Music Player
Not much good came out of the eighties. Any positive cultural additions (the films of John Hughes, The Ferrari Testarossa, Cindy Crawford) were mitigated by an overwhelming number of bad additions (leg warmers, synth pop, any and all hairstyles). Boomboxes were an exemplary positive addition, but with the advent of…
iPod Nano Watch Band
Within moments of Apple introducing the iPod Nano, two things happened. One, the entire population of Apple fanboys--pale, bespectacled young guys with a well-established Pavlovian erection response to Steve Jobs' black turtleneck--let out a collective orgasmic sigh. And two, accessory manufacturers, pondering at the Nano-as-Wristwatch product possibilities, let out a…
Movie Mash-Up: The Matrix Dude
The way we see it, the two movies that guys can watch over and over again and never tire of are The Big Lebowski and The Matrix (the first, mind you, we still fail to recognize any sequels, the way people with terminal illness decide to not believe they're sick…
Seiko Men’s SNDA65 Chronograph Strap Watch
Watches, like everything in fashion, can go terribly wrong. We need only reference the watches of rappers and compensating celebrities, adorned with enough diamonds to have tangible impacts on Antwerp economy. In the end, all watches do one thing and one thing only: tell time. Seiko, forever the maker of…
I’m Still Here: The Lost Year of Joaquin Phoenix
We all remember the bizarre behavior, the Letterman appearance, the weird impromptu rap concert. Not long ago, Joaquin Phoenix went off the deep end... and then jumped the shark. And in what is either a stroke of genius or voyeuristic cruelty, his brother-in-law, Casey Affleck, taped all of it. Now…
Vers Hand-Crafted Shellcase
There are cases for your iPad, and then there are Cases for your iPad. This is one of the latter. Handmade out of US-grown hardwood or bamboo and reinforced with steel, these cases are attractive enough to hang on the wall. It's the kind of thing where you get it…
Trespass: A History of Uncommissioned Urban Art
We have a deep appreciation for uncommissioned urban art, which is an impressive way of saying "graffiti". This appreciation may have started with using Mr. Sketch scented markers to doodle on the insides of our 3rd grade textbooks, or maybe it was the standard dicks-on-bathroom-walls motif in our high school…
