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, Oct 7, 2009 | Email To A Friend

No matter how well you rock that cardigan, people are still going to look at your face. Finding the right product to maintain good man-hygiene can be a daunting task. There’s no telling what’s those fancy-ass bottles, and choosing the wrong one can irritate your skin.
Pangea Organics sent Gear Patrol their Egyptian Calendula and Blood Orange Facial Cleanser for review, and, as usual we’ve formulated an opinion. In our tests, the cleanser had a refreshing citrus scent and resulted in a more toned feel to your skin. It also does a good job of cleaning without stripping or drying out your skin. The calendula, a type of marigold, has anti-inflammatory properties and is great at reducing redness and soothing irritated skin. It also works as an anti-septic to reduce breakouts and eliminate infectious germs. The only downside we could find with this product is that it doesn’t lather up as much as we’d like, but it’s a small price to pay knowing you’re not slathering petroleum all over your face. One thing we really like about Pangea Organic products is they try to walk the straight and narrow - everything in their products is always listed on them so you know exactly what you’re getting.
