SEAL Approved
Scenario: have you ever wanted to pilot a fighter jet, eject, then dive 300 feet, and still know what time it is? MTM Special Ops is your brand of watch. The absurdly rugged, military-grade, and stylish (if that’s your thing) timepieces are used by the military and the piece we tested, The MTM Special Ops [...]
Dan Aykroyd's Vodka
There’s quite a precedent for rappers creating their own personal Vodka brands, but comic legends like Dan Aykroyd getting into the biz is an entirely different story. Apparently, Crystal Head Vodka is the result of combining two of Aykroyd’s passions: First, his love for the mystery of crystal skulls (made popular in the latest Indiana [...]
Worthwhile Upgrade If You Just... Can't... Kick... BBM
The BlackBerry Torch 9800 is a sleek-looking QWERTY slider that sports a 3.2-inch, 480 x 360 touchscreen (which is the same resolution as the Bold for you handset geeks), 512 MB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera, and 4 GB of on board memory with a 4 GB microSD card thrown in gratis.

Web 2.0 has made the internet a daunting place when it comes to following your favorite sports team.

Still Too Cool for Redman
Without the fanfare that we would expect, this summer marks the 30th Anniversary of a childhood favorite – Big League Chew. While there are (unfortunately) no special commemorative packs or fanfare, such an iconic product deserves celebration. For many, Big League Chew was almost as integral to Little League Baseball (or Softball) as cleats, baseball [...]
D.C. Sans the Suits
Washington D.C. is known for many things: leaders of the Free World, iconic monuments, and droves of institution naysayers. You know, spawns of the punk rock movement: Bad Brains, Henry Rollins, and even brands like DURKL. DURKL’s base camp in D.C. is one that has clearly influenced their style – the uniquely American take is [...]
Have Your Cardio and Eat It Too
Having taken over 4 years to design and develop, the ElliptiGO 8S ($2,199) aims to claim the crown of the first elliptical bicycle.

Our Twenty-Toed Take on Today's Most Talked About Shoes
Our most astute readers may know that we have reviewed two previous iterations of Vibram’s now ubiquitous FiveFingers. The first marked the introduction of an awesome product. The second offered some useful updates to the original. Now, however, we’ve strapped on the Bikila, which is an entirely different animal than its predecessors. The original FiveFingers [...]
Because Watching Detention is Better Than Serving It
John Hughes (may he rest in peace) directed many 80′s classics, but The Breakfast Club was arguably his best if not most memorable. Now, in celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary, The Breakfast Club ($18) lands on blu-ray so fans can catch every minute of the detention-session bonding in high definition. Pre Community style. Sure, [...]
