How To Wrap A Present

How To Wrap A Present
There are domestic things I am good at, and then some I can’t grasp to save my life. I can cook, I can clean, I can do laundry and fold clothes, but I’ll be damned if I can wrap a present that doesn’t look like my 6 month old did it, and if you’re a man chances are you can’t...

There vs. They’re vs. Their & You’re vs. Your

There vs. They’re vs. Their & You’re vs. Your
This needs to be done.  You’re welcome. There, They’re, Their Rules:   There Use there to refer to a physical or abstract place. Usually, if you can replace there with here in the same sentence, and it still makes sense, then you are using it correctly. Examples: “There is an...

What Happened?

What Happened?
I guess in the world of trying to be successful in an overly-saturated market (read:  blogs), one is never supposed to show their weaknesses.  I don’t operate like that.  My plan at first was to pump out enough posts in the course of a day to establish myself in the blog arena, until I could...

Sneakers I Dig: 11/15/11
Continuing to show why they won’t go away (well, that and the fact that Nike owns them), Converse returns with a new spin on an old classic.  The “Star Classic” that is.  Shown here in a muted off-white leather with brown suede accents, and a black logo, the Star Classic takes on...

Confessions From A First Time Father: No Comparison

Confessions From A First Time Father: No Comparison
If you’re anything like me, you’ve never spent any significant time around babies.  I didn’t even like babies until my son was born.  I have nieces and nephews, but they all live on the opposite coast from me so I was lucky if I saw them one time in each 12 month period of their lives. ...

Uchhh, Nice Watch: 6/9/11
Well look who it is again….Nixon. Back with another uber-relevant timepiece called “The SAM.” Military inspired, and right on time, this watch features a 3-hand Japanese quartz movement with date function and a canvas with hand-worked Horween leather-lined band. Available in black...

Sawblade Slingshot

Sawblade Slingshot
Jörg Sprave is probably at least a little bit psychotic. They call him Mr. Slingshot, and rightfully so. Above is a video of his latest creation, a slingshot that shoots circular sawblades. In addition, Jörg frightens me quite a bit. I just hope if I ever meet him he leaves with a positive impression...

Male Birth Control?

Male Birth Control?
The question always arises “Why can’t they make a birth control for men?” Well, it seems as if its not for lack of trying, as currently there is a birth control method for men that is in the phase III trials of testing in India right now, that seems to have proven to be 100…I...

After Converse’s collaboration with Ronnie Feig (which my wife got me a pair of for my bday on Wednesday..she’s the best), Converse knew what to do to update their classic, yet tired resume of footwear (Just a guess).  With tonal and in some cases vibrant colors, the Converse Chuck Taylor...

Slow News Day: Honey Badger Time!
If you’re not one of the 5.6 million people that have seen this, then you’re welcome. I’ve watched this about 100 times already, and it’s my wife and I’s current obsession. I’ve been frequently referring to myself as a Honey Badger lately. Watch the video to find...

They’re Trying to Kill Me at Work!

They’re Trying to Kill Me at Work!
I know, life as a spy can be oh so dangerous.  You go from cubicle to cubicle, dodging bullets from silenced weapons, but it’s getting too close for comfort.  Well here’s the remedy: A Bulletproof Clipboard.  I know, clipboards are about as useful as Beta Max VCRs these days, but who says...
