Ditch the Neon Yellow
Is your office, kitchen, and bedroom, covered in notes? Are you constantly writing notes, jotting down thoughts, or making lists? Are you within arms reach of a Moleskine at all times? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then the Moleskine Professional Sticky Notes ($9) are just for you. Slightly more [...]
Calculated History
It may not load apps, play Stick Fighter, or even fit on your desk, but the Aaron Adding Machine #8 (est $5,000) is nothing if not awesomely vintage. Built by Andy Aaron, the antique calculator recreation actually performs calculations but more importantly, hearkens an appreciation for the technological-awe they inspired during the 19th century. Equipped [...]
A Lamp For Your Office or Garage
Whether a man’s workspace is a desk with a computer, or a tool bench, it needs to contribute to his productivity. Thus light, and subsequently the light source, are critical component of the workspace equation. While we’ve covered plenty of acceptable lamps here on GP, the Marina Task Lamp ($129) is particularly versatile thanks to [...]
Permanently Awesome
17. That’s the number of Sharpie variations we have sitting here at the GP offices. Zero. That’s the number of Sharpie markers and pens that can do what the all new Sharpie Liquid Pencil ($2) pulls off. In what we imagine amounted to an “ah ha!” moment at Sharpie’s labs, the Sharpie Liquid Pencil imparts [...]
Work on the Gold Cost, Literally
American patriotism is great, don’t get me wrong, but to those from the golden state, California pride is first and foremost. The California Desk ($4,900) from J. Rusten Furniture Studio is far more sophisticated than hoisting a grizzly bear flag at the office. Not only is it made from a beautiful “curly-grain” Claro Walnut wood, [...]
Pop Goes Your Office
There’s a reason people submit to the torture test that is building IKEA particle board furniture — and it has nothing to do with Swedish meatballs. Instead it’s the schnazzy and clever design factor the company consistently provides for a rock bottom price. The Vika Viene Table Top ($99) is just another example of this [...]
Because What's Inside Counts
With the surplus of “stuffy” card cases out there, we recently felt compelled to find alternatives that our readers who weren’t neck deep in the corporate world could get away with carrying. Like say for instance…if you wrote for a men’s product website. As a result, we came across these sneakily colorful Grand Prixe Card [...]
Simplicity at its Finest
The fact that we’ve covered the Dymo LabelManager before should have already tipped our hand to you guys that we’re into organization. Dymo has kindly reminded us though with the Dymo RHINO 101 ($20) that satisfying our need for order doesn’t always have to require batteries. Designed to be reusable and refillable, the RHINO 101 [...]
Local Weathermen Are Bunk
Wall clocks don’t necessarily have to mean wall wart, and a weather station doesn’t have to scream “Brookstone” either. The Bai Design Weather Monitor Wall Clock ($75) is an “8 in 1″ weather station with thermometer, hydrometer, barometer, day of the month, day of the week, and of course, clock. The face is presented on [...]
50 Pads for 50 States
We keep a sizable stock of Field Notes pads here at the office. They’re sized just right for pen-to-paper jotting and constantly remind us how much we’d rather be writing in the field than in front of a computer. For Summer 2010, and just in time for Independence Day, Field Notes is expanding their Field [...]
Written Naturally
Recently, a decidedly non-gear item crossed our desks and “thoroughly impressed” became the typical response when grasping and using the 8 gram Takumi Macinari Wood Writing Instrument ($35). Designed by Hosei Suzuki and hand-made in Japan, the Macinari is available in the form of pen or pencil and constructed entirely of maple or walnut. Even [...]
Putting Everything in Its Right Place
Call us OCD, call us crazy, but Gear Patrol’s got a thing for organization. Doctor’s hypothesize it’s because we were ripped away from our cubbyholes in Kindergarten prematurely, but what do they know. Made in the U.S.A. from a combination of local materials such as recycled wool felt, polyester, and rayon, these Grid Wall Pockets [...]
A Great Idea We Want to Own Now
Longtime Gear Patrol readers may remember our post on a similar product called the Truepower USC Power Outlet that promised to integrate powered USB ports into the universal American outlet. Unfortunately it looks like that particular model which featured its USB ports on either side of the main AC sockets has since been scrapped. Macheads [...]
Bright, Energy Efficient, and Oozing with Style
A flexible, bright desk lamp is a must have for any guy who spends time toiling away in a home office. The z-Bar High Power LED Desk Lamp ($170) has both qualities in spades along with killer modern looks which make it in like Flynn for bachelor pads and man caves. Sporting 6 next generation [...]
Working From Home, Alternately
Whether the loft space above your garage just isn’t cutting it or you just want some space away (yet close), there’s a good chance Ecostudios’s WorkPod will fit the bill. Taking the best of what modern day pre-fab has to offer, the WorkPod is a compact, ergonomic workspace designed by architects to serve people who [...]
