Fight Tiger with Chicken
The only downside to golfing on the Wii (well, besides not actually golfing) is the lack of realistic simulation. No, not in the game, but rather the controller. The Nintendo Wii Motion Plus provides control aplenty, but when it comes to recreating the feeling and motion of swinging an actual club, it falls short. Bad [...]
Dr. Doom Approved
What’s the only thing cooler than a motorcycle that flies? Trick question, nothing is cooler than a flying motorcycle. Since it may be awhile before that’s a reality though, the Confederate P120 Fighter comes in at a very close second. Made by hand, and crafted almost entirely of air craft grade aluminum, the P120 takes [...]
Bump Up Your Set
We’ve all been there: you’re in the park trying to set up a flimsy volleyball net that crumbles with a gust of wind or the ball even grazing the net. Often much to the amusement of onlookers. The incredibly sturdy and easy to assemble Park and Sun Spectrum Classic Volleyball Net System ($263) solves that. [...]
Free from "Freebird"
Don’t get us wrong, we love classic rock as much as the next guy, but hearing “Welcome to the Jungle” for the tenth time in a day can make anyone go ape. Enter New Normal Music. This site has been streaming music since July 2nd and boasts a non-stop 50,000 song playlist. It might not [...]
Beaches Optional
In addition to the Orlebar Brown Boxer, we also got to check out the Monocle Edition ($180) of the Bulldog shorts. The new Bulldogs have an updated cut, that’s a little more forgiving in the waist and seat, as well as a new fabric which is slightly less coarse. The best part of the Monocle [...]
The King of King's County
Outside of the New York area, it surprises many to learn that King’s County (aka Brooklyn) has a rich and proud brewing history. In fact, Brooklyn had no less than 48 working breweries in 1898 – with Germans arriving on American shores with luggage, taste of good beer, strict brewing standards, and some of the [...]
A Vote for Simplicity
The tendency to over complicate things (and over price) is a common problem in the world of technology accessories. That’s why we loved this Wooden Desktop iPad Cradle ($18). Hell, they didn’t even bother to give it a name. Designed to hold your iPad at a 18° for display purposes, or at 45° as a [...]
Longer. Straighter. What Else to Want?
The Gear Patrol golf gurus recently got our grubby little hands on the Callaway Golf’s latest tee box terror, the FT-iZ driver. If we were less than surprised by the club’s performance, it’s only because we’ve come to expect a steady march of improving technology from the Carlsbad, CA clubmaker. In keeping with that theme, [...]
Because Prohibition Sucked
San Francisco residents may be already intimately familiar with 21st Amendment Brewery located in the city’s historic South Park neighborhood, just a few blocks away from the Giants’ home turf. For the uninitiated however, one of the best things about this company (besides its product) is its founding story. Nico Freccia and Shaun O’Sullivan were [...]
Please Allow Me to Re-Introduce Myself
New for fall 2010, New Balance is bringing back the heritage 320 ($65) running shoe as part of their lifestyle collection. The 320, originally released in 1976 for men when the numbering system matched retail prices ($32, 320, get it?) helped vault New Balance to mainstream status as running became popular in the wake of [...]
Jaw Dropping
Shelf friendly stereos with integrated iPod docks seem to be a dime a dozen these days, and subsequently we tend to steer clear of most of them. Something as sexy looking as the Vita RA Integrated Music System ($830) though is just too hard to ignore. Putting its gorgeous minimalist case design aside for a [...]
Manage Your Machines
Gadgets are great and all, but for every device you own, there’s usually a cable somewhere that needs to be managed. Duct tape and twist ties are certainly excellent options in a clutch for battling the birds nests of wires that form under your desk or bloat your carry on luggage, but if you’re looking [...]
