We know this is likely one of the most versatile and reliable stands on the market. How? It's made by the same company that makes similar stands but for extremely expensive and heavy professional photography equipment. And when the livelihood of your company depends on the ability for your product to successfully hold up…
Not quite a sneaker and not quite a slipper, Vans' Rata Vulcanized slip-on sneakers are pretty sweet. Short lacing wraps up it's woven hemp upper, and a textured vulcanized midsole wraps the rest. To be honest, we're not entirely sure what vulcanized means or entails, but it sounds pretty impressive.…
We've said it before: there's a soft spot in our hearts for a cool product that ingeniously repurposes a mundane object to serve a new function. We're not talking about MacGuyvering an AM Radio out of a paper clip, a Q-tip, and 9 volt battery either. Take these old classic…
Grayson Castro is our kind of artist. He takes iconic images of, well, icons... and zombifies them. As zombies hit a sort of renaissance in today's pop culture (along with, unfortunately, vampires), Castro saw fit to take it into the high-brow world of art. Each painting is of a famous figure--Audrey Heburn,…
Ok, look past the boobage for a second. Diego Gravinese's images aren't photographs, they're actual paintings. Bright, vibrant, with deeply saturated colors and subjects full of action and movement, these paintings are emblematic of the good life. Sunny poolsides, scenes from a party, or simply non-sequitur images that amuse with a little…
Usually opening a bottle of wine or a cold beer is a mundane action, something that happens as you make small talk with your companion or amongst your pals. But with the Handlebar--a bottle opener with an old-time villainous mustache shape for a handle--we think you'll be compelled to add a bit…
Drinking and driving has never been a bright idea, but some would argue that for those of us who live in bike-friendly cities, drinking and biking... is pretty great. Yes, balancing on two wheels while intoxicated presents its own problem, but forgetting the beer opener upon reaching your destination presents…
The folks over at Sharpie have apparently decided that something like the pencil--an invention that has existed as a graphite/lead-based writing implement for time immemorial--needed reinventing. Indeed, the Sharpie Liquid Pencil is the Cyberdyne Systems T-1000 to the traditional No. 2's T-101. Better in every way... and liquid. Terminator metaphors…
We're not sure how it started, but grilling meat sort of became a de facto gauge of a man's substance. If you torch your food into what looks like well-done meteorites, well, that doesn't do any favors for your image as a capable guy (which, if there's a definition of a "guy",…
The guy behind 52 Bad Dudes has produced some prints that anyone with a Y chromosome will appreciate. The prints feature, well, bad dudes from all walks of popular culture. The Terminator, Tyler Durden, Mad Max, the bosses from the original Mega Man game, basically anyone who has defined any…
It takes a special kind of crazy to look at a piece of PVC pipe and think, hey, this would make a great speaker. The guys at Ikyaudio--a name we're not sure how to pronounce--have done just that: taking your standard PVC pipe, they've crafted some slick, modern speakers that…
Shoe marketing these days can be tiresome. Hyperbole is the norm, with manufacturer's touting how some crazy new technology or material in their shoe supposedly gives you the ability to run faster, jump higher, steal home, count cards, buy low, sell high, etc. For us though, we're more about simple style…
Dry Bags. No, it is not a Goldbond product, or a man-powder, or anything pertaining to testicles. It's a kind of bag that keeps things dry. And not like, "oh it's a light drizzle, this waxed cotton man-purse will keep my iPad from getting a boo-boo" dry. Like, "I find…
In the seminal 80's teen movie "Risky Business", a baby-faced and still-sane Tom Cruise, anxious about his future, is consoled by his pal. His friend, with great gravitas, tells him: "Sometimes you gotta say, 'what the fuck'. 'What the fuck' gives you freedom. Freedom brings opportunity. Opportunity... makes your future."…
