About: Hello, gentlemen; this is Anthony, and this is my long-awaited bio post (according to the ever-pestering Eric, anyway).
Personally, I think Gear Patrol is making me poorer. Not the best idea in today’s economy but, what the hell - hopefully, Citi will fall after I purchase a few barrels of JD. As one of the very first readers, I’ve enjoyed watching the site grow from one new post every few days to several articles daily - finding more and more gear I could add to my ever-growing collection. So, I find it a great honor that I was selected to join The GP Crew.
Despite many failed attempts to get Eric to write my bio for me (so I could envelop myself in Call of Duty at his pad), he remained stalwart, and I was relegated to alternative measures: interviewing myself. So without further ado, I give you Anthony vs. Anthony - on the hot seat. [Continued after the jump]
Tell us a little about yourself.
My editors know me to be laid back, obsessed with finding deals on the finer things in life, and one who tends to over-research products. Why? To convince myself that I desperately need something, then not buy it. It’s a sordid affair.
That’s pretty rough. Anything else?
I’m also a fanatic when it comes to reading about random articles and an irate, foul-mouthed lunatic when it comes to playing video games (Ed: True). I’m perpetually on the move, calling New York, Chattanooga, and Memphis home.
What’s one embarrassing moment you’d like to share with our readers and forever be published on the internet for the whole world to see?
Gee, Anthony, when you put it that way… Oh wait… actually, looking back one of the funniest events (not for me at the time) had to be when I was learning how to ride a bike. Being the young and ever-confident 5 year old trying to keep up with an older bro, I decided to try and show off by riding my bike down the hill - sans training wheels.
So what happened?
I think this YouTube clip might be the closest dramatization of the actual events:

Why that moment?
Because, well… you fall down and you keep going and that’s what guys do. The old adage applies here: if you can’t laugh at yourself, you shouldn’t be laughing at all.
What’s your biggest vice?
An outrageously good deal (think: slickdeals.net). Oh, and Glenlivet 15 Year Old French Oak Reserve.
Is there anything embarrassing you can tell us about Eric Yang?
Eric is supafly smooth (Ed: I’d debate “supafly”). I’m still waiting for him to trip up; we all are, actually. Such events are rarer than spotting Nessie. If we ever go on that golf trip next year, then maybe I (we) can catch one of those rare moments on camera.See Authors Posts (38) on Wed, Sep 30, 2009 | Email To A Friend

Fall is officially here and now isn’t the time to start skimping on sun protection. Whether you’re walking down the block or sitting in the stands, you’re still exposing yourself to damaging UVA and UVB radiation. UVB are the rays that cause sunburn while UVA is the one that penetrates deep into the base layer of skin causing premature aging and skin cancer. Wearing the stuff you take to the beach offers great protection but isn’t a good daily option especially if you don’t want to smell like it all day. Good thing we have a sunblock that is as good as its name is long, Jack Black’s Double-Duty Face Moisturizer with SPF 20 (and a name that’s one mouthface full).
As you would expect, the Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer provides excellent UV protection to help shield your skin from dangerous rays, but also includes a host of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to help improve your complexion. It’s dermatologist tested, fragrance, alcohol, and colorant free too. Best of all, it doesn’t contain (see: ozybenzone-free sunscreen).
In testing we found the Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer to be lightweight and has a smooth, matte finish that won’t leave you looking shiny. It has a very faint scent and provides enough hydration to last the entire day. In addition to great sun protection, it doesn’t irritate sensitive skin and has visibly helped to make this writer’s skin look better.
With your face protected, your lips need coverage too. For this Jack Black also offers the Intense Therapy Lip Balm, also with SPF 25 (our post on that). The balm goes on shea butter smooth and quickly soothes dry chapped lips. It has a fresh, natural lemon flavor and isn’t glossy, so you won’t look like you borrowed your girlfriend’s chapstick. Also comes in a cool mint flavor.
Editor’s Tip: Don’t miss often neglected areas like your neck and the back of your hands when applying your daily sunscreen. The last thing you want is the face of a 30-year-old with wrinkly old hands and a flappy double chin.
Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer (SPF 25) | Cost: $26
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm (SPF 25, Mint) | Cost: $7
