Our Gift of Knowledge to You
If there are two things that the editors Gear Patrol never tire of, they are (1) watching the outstanding edutainment programming offered by HISTORY and (2) giving stuff away. That said, we’re combining those two great passions into one stupendous giveaway. One lucky reader is going to walk away from this posting with an eyeful [...]
Drops Today. (Yeah, We Said it.)
Every release in the Halo series is preceded by massive hype and met with great jubiliation by fanboys everywhere. Today’s release of Halo 3: ODST is no exception.

Looking to Lower Your Score? Shut Up and Listen.
Slow backswing, push the club away, rotate the shoulder, club face square at impact… to an amateur golfer there can be so many things going through the mind during the golf swing that it becomes both frustrating and intimidating. Can’t there be an easier way to get the ball into the hole with the fewest [...]
What if you could improve your posture just by pressing a button?
Gear Patrol has written about custom suits, custom shirts and pants. Consequently, there’s no doubt that you’ve evolved into the best dressed man around, but if you’ve got posture like Quasimodo, you still won’t look good no matter what you wear. The worst part about having bad posture is that you’re probably the last one [...]

Technology Forged in the Gym, Style Fitted for Everyday Use
As the summer draws to a close, we at Gear Patrol are squeezing in a final few golf rounds shirts. Which brings us to FreeMotion Apparel. Mostly know for their performance apparel, they have taken the short trip (about a 9-iron) into world of performance polos. We chose to test ours out on the golf [...]
Ticket Buying Gets All Smart Like
Ticket buying, especially from the secondary market (e.g. scalpers) is rarely a pleasant experience. Since we know there’s a limited quantity, we automatically assume that the closer it gets to go time, the more expensive attending becomes. Though in general terms of supply and demand, this logic is sound, the people behind SeatGeek.com are here [...]
Super Bowl Grill
Just because you invited 8 dozen people to your BBQ doesn’t excuse you from feeding each and every one of your guests a piping hot slab of grilled meat & veg. Host up and give your next über-BBQ a proper flame with a Weber Ranch Kettle Charcoal Grill. Providing a cooking area even Jerry Jones [...]
Pies, Since 1947
Somewhat obscured by the greater West Los Angeles area itself, the Apple Pan is a relic of mid-century Los Angeles. From its 25 seat diner motif right down to it’s metal Lily Cup drink holders, little has changed since it opened in 1947. For the record, that’s a good thing.
Who Says Apple Holds all the Innovation Cards?
Tablet, Tablet, Tablet. It’s all we’ve been hearing out of the tech rumor mill lately, and it’s all referring to Apple’s supposed next big thing. While we won’t begin to claim that HP’s recently announced Dream Screen covers everyone of the hypothesizing bases that Apple’s eventual product might, it is built with the same intentions [...]
MacBook Desktop
Working off a laptop is fast becoming the de facto for many computer users. Portability, power, and price have reached the point where even power nuts have some sort of portable option. Problem is, when you’re working at a desk on a large screen monitor like we do at the GP offices, a laptop suddenly [...]

Essential Equipment for the Handy Homeowner
From the moment ancient man first wielded tools to aid in mastery over his environment, their use has been embedded in the DNA of humankind. Men, in particular, have an innate sense of the crucial need for having the proper tool for whatever job is at hand. Granted, we’ve come a long way from roasting [...]
Goodbye Google Reader. Hello Google Fast Flip.
Attention Google Reader and RSS fanatics. Google Labs’ new Fast Flip is a web app that helps you discover news, articles, and sites for that matter. Better yet, it does so with Google’s signature simplicity and a bit of panache. Sound like a site you know (hint hint)? The premise is simple. Flip through pages [...]
Modern Sheen for Magazines
If you couldn’t tell, here at Gear Patrol we’re all big fans of magazines. The trouble is that our love of glossy print doesn’t play nicely with some of our editors’ pack-rat tendencies (re: Mr. Yang). Thankfully, the Illuzine floating magazine rack is a great solution for mitigating the situation. This powder-coated metal rack features [...]
