Logitech Mini Boombox

It seems like every time we open an internet browser we’re being bombarded with the latest and greatest iPod / iPhone / iPad dock. We haven’t played with all of them, but when you see 15 of them a week it’s safe to say they aren’t all good. And what about Android phones with huge ass screens and laptops with even huger ass screens? If you’re one of those people that still remembers life before the dock connector–and even if you’re not–Logitech has some new speaker hotness for you. The Mini Boombox is a portable (fits in your bag!), rechargeable (10 hrs!), bluetooth (universal compatibility!) speaker that also includes a microphone (conference calls!) and backlit touch screen controls. In case you happen to have a Walkman still lying around somewhere, it will work with that too using a 3.5mm cable. The only thing it doesn’t do is charge your device.

The Nixon Patrol Watch Is a Modern Interpretation of a Simple Classic

As much as we love watches with dozens of complications and functions, there’s something to be said for a simple and understated design. The Nixon Patrol watch is a modern interpretation of classic designs that has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Made with a no-nonsense 42mm stainless case, a rock-solid Miyota quartz movement and a stainless 3-link bracelet, it’s as clean and slim as it is durable and attractive. Add in the bold indices on the face to complete the sleek and stylish look. This is the watch for the makers and doers.
