Shooting what?
Winter generally means two things: the grill gets covered and the Ferrari gets garaged. Luckily, Ferrari’s newest innovation should suppress any winter blues. The FF, a shooting brake, is Ferrari’s first car to come equipped with 4RM, the automaker’s first ever part-time all-wheel drive system. Have no fear; the team from Northern Italy didn’t sacrifice [...]
Argh, thar' she... ooh, booze!
What happens when you combine a wine rack and a treasure chest? You get the Wine Bar Treasure Trunk ($499). Each unique piece is handcrafted from sustainable, plantation-grown sheesham wood and includes hand-forged iron hardware. Inside you’ll find three separate compartments and removable dividers capable of holding up to 12 bottles of wine. The small [...]
This little vacuum sucks, a lot
Dyson’s most recent addition to their dirt destroying lineup, the DC35 ($300) cordless multi floor vacuum includes a digital motor that’s three times faster than conventional motors, a fade-free lithium ion battery, and a detachable long-reach wand (we guess size really does matter…). A fully charged vacuum will provide 15 minutes of constant high suction [...]
It's Blaaacckk
Earlier this year, Ducati introduced the Monster 796. A few months later, they busted out the 2011 Diavel – an all-new 162 horsepower, 456 pound, 0-60 mph in 2.6 seconds, technology-laden, two-wheeled miracle machine. So how did Ducati improve on near-perfection? By making it black — diamond black to be precise. The new color scheme [...]
Put a cork in it
In 2003, the movie 28 Days Later taught us that it only takes 4 weeks for infected chimpanzees to turn humans into zombies and overtake London. Today, we learn that there’s a much more productive, and tasteful way to spend 28 days. The Artful Winemaker Personal Winemaking System ($99) helps you produce 12 bottles of [...]
A bag from down under
Handcrafted in Australia, the Kookaburra messenger bag is made of 3.5 millimeter leather, brass buttons, and offers an adjustable shoulder strap that comfortably distributes the weight no matter how you carry it. Kookaburra has taken on the challenge of finding an everyday bag by focusing on developing the perfect combination of comfort and style. Their [...]
Biking hipsters rejoice
The problem with owning a nice bike is that it probably requires you to own shoes that can best be described as a cross between soccer cleats and aqua socks. They’re ideal for long trips and training sessions, but taking a quick ride to the park or into the city for a bite to eat [...]
Made by hand, worn by neck
We’ve all been drawn in by the department store display tables, teeming with overlapping ties that look as if they just finished battling an arsenal of color grenades. That doesn’t make it right when you succumb to the life-size kaleidoscope though. What a guy wears around his neck says a lot about him. Wearing a [...]
Cool as Ice. Hot as Fire.
From the same country that brought us Magnus Ver Magnusson comes the next best thing in fire-producing-coffee-table-accessories. The Lava Cube of Fire ($379) is constructed of raw Icelandic lava, sits on an included wood stand, and burns non-toxic bio ethanol alcohol. The result is a bright, crackling fire which is guaranteed to one-up that sorry [...]
Baby Got Back
If you’re going to be stuck in front of a computer for 8 hours a day, you might as well do it in style, and for a reasonable price. Lucky for you, Herman Miller’s new SAYL chair ($399) has your back – literally. The designers at Herman Miller utilized the engineering principles of a suspension [...]
More Horses Than a Farm
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. That’s all well and good, but what happens when you give the guys at Shelby 800 horses?
What, No Pegs?
Back in the 80s, it was cool (or at least we thought it was) to put baseball cards between the spokes of your bike tire so everyone could hear you doing your best Lance Armstrong down the street. Now, nearly 20 years later, baseball cards have been replaced by 1.2 kW electric motors that allow [...]
Baseball Card for Adults
As a kid, dropping $2.99 on a pack of baseball cards came as naturally as ordering sprinkles on your ice cream. The pictures on the front were awesome, and the stats on the back were, well, stats. As we’ve grown up (term used loosely) the stats we used to ignore are now the same numbers [...]
The Perfect Excuse to Hurl Hardware
There are three things that every man has an affinity for: construction, competition, and consumption (note: it’s generally a good idea to save the consumption till after the construction is complete). Fortunately, this weekend project enables you to accomplish all three. The design is simple: build a wood box and mount a piece of PVC [...]
Crowbar's Angrier, More Destructive Brother
Each occupation has a tool they can’t live without. For a golfer, it’s his clubs. For a cop, it’s his gun. But unless you’re using a nine iron to smash in the window of an Escalade in Florida, or using a 9mm to accidentally shoot yourself in the leg in a New York nightclub, these [...]
