Illuminating Repurposed Vintage Relics. GIVEAWAY: 3 Crumpler Bags. Getting your gear from point a to point b was a lot easier before you had to carry a laptop, or a change of clothes or even an extra cell phone charger.
World Class Chalkboard Decal. Total Recall – Official Trailer. Mission Workshop Arkiv System Bags. Killspencer Dopp/Folio. Black World Map. Crazy Expensive Stuff From The New York High-End Audio Show. Every year, unbeknownst to most of the public, the most outrageous and amazing pieces of audio equipment are tossed (see: very carefully placed) into one hotel for The New York Audio & AV Show.
This is not the kinda stuff you get at Best Buy or hook up to the turntable you bought from Urban Outfitters. This is the stuff for the hardcore audio fan who happens to have deep pockets. So we figured, “Hey, why don’t we go and make ourselves feel like crap?” So we did, and here’s some of the most insanely expensive (yet incredibly awesome) items we found: YG Acoustics Anat III Professional Signature Loudspeakers in Custom Titanium Finish If you have to make a decision between buying a pair of speakers and sending your child to college, you know you’re seriously considering top-of-the-line equipment.

One Widow Playing Cards. The Worton Weekender – Black Edition. Hot Wheels iNitro Speeders. 10 Brilliant Rube Goldberg Machines. We normally like to keep things simple and do things the easy way, but we’re completely fascinated by Rube Goldberg machines.
They require a level of skill and patience we doubt we’ll ever posses and they’re the ultimate expression of doing something just because you can. (Plus, they’re really fun to watch when you’re not sober.) Check out some of the best Rube Goldberg machines ever posted on the internet. Thanks to Jarritos for making this post possible, for more information on Jarritos and all the new flavors, check out Jarritos.com.
The Page Turner Part of the brilliance behind The Page Turner by Brooklyn-based artist Joseph Herscher is the fact that it’s set off in a completely natural way. Honda – The Cog We’re no grease monkeys, so if someone took apart a car and laid out all of the parts in front of us we couldn’t say for sure what they all do. Ok Go Music Video When it comes to Rube Goldberg machines, the more over the top the better. Rival Bros Coffee. We can’t remember the last time we turned on the Food Network or Travel Channel and didn’t see something about a show involving cupcakes or food trucks.
(Yes, we’re man enough to admit we occasionally enjoy both of those channels for the culinary contributions to our nightly meals.) They’re everywhere. Combine that whole back-to-the-roots, small batch production mentality to coffee and you’ll end up at Rival Bros. Started in Philly by the famous chef Jonathan Adams and artisanal coffee expert Damien Pileggi, Rival Bros is everything Starbucks should have been from the beginning–small batches of coffee custom selected, combined and roasted with an almost obsessive attention to detail. If you live in Philly you can pick up it made fresh from their “food” truck.
Nevermore Body Company. Vintage Plaid Playing Cards. Rough & Tumble Messenger Tote. Cobra iRadar Detector. No one wants to get busted by the fuzz.
At the same time, no one wants to drive slow. How To Build A DIY Toolbox Boombox. U.S. Air Force Survival Handbook. Stormproof Match Kit. On the surface, waterproof matches sound about as realistic as a knife made of light, but they actually exist.
For less than a 6-pack, you get 25 stormproof matches and 3 striker sheets packed conveniently in a waterproof container. Each match will stay lit for up to 15 seconds even after being submerged in water. So far, we have tested their effectiveness in the following situations: lighting up in the car, starting a fire and bathroom sanitation. Fulton’s Clip Joint Playing Cards.
Elecom Orime Laser Mouse. Mixtape: Getting Shit Done. Yamaha EPH-100 Headphones. Beats by Dr. Dre Wireless Headphones. Bluetooth technology, in theory, is awesome. No cords to get tangled up when you’re on the treadmill. No wires that you have to plug in to get your sweet jams from your phone to your ears. Unfortunately, in practice bluetooth just makes you look like the dude wearing the headset having a very loud conversation in front of a crowd of complete strangers because there weren’t really any other good bluetooth options – but now there are. Beats by Dr. Dre Wireless is the first pair of bluetooth headphones that we would actually enjoy syncing to our own phones. Headphone Rug. Must Have Mustache Gear. Mustaches have always been cool.
Ok, that’s not entirely true. They had a bit of a falling out with popular culture during the 90s, but they’re back for the time being. This time, it’s not about saving flavor for later, it’s about saving Men everywhere from prostate cancer. For thirty days every year, we steal the hairy face crown back from hipsters everywhere and turn November into Movember in the name of changing the face of men’s health. Here’s all the sweet mustache gear you need to get through the month formerly known as November, or just to have because mustaches are cool. 1. PHX-1 Design Tool Set. Lomokino Movie Camera. ZIIIRO Celeste. Crossbow Snow Launcher. Yamaha PDX-11 Portable Speaker. DIY Furniture. Visual Etiquette TV and Movie Prints. See Mix Drink. Tattoo It Yourself Cards.
Jeweled Hex Cufflinks with Stems. iHome iW1 AirPlay Wireless Audio System. With access to services like Spotify, Grooveshark and Rdio, your music is with you wherever you are.
You don’t need to deal with CDs or computers to pump out some sweet jams in the living room, the party or even the beach. But that just leaves one problem… the speakers. Even if you crank your iPhone to maximum output you’ll barely be able to hear it over the crashing waves, spilling beers or dancing. If you don’t want to be tethered to a power outlet, which kind of defeats the purpose of having wireless access in the first place, you need something like this iHome iW1 AirPlay Wireless Audio System. Fantastique Playing Cards. Gentleman’s Hidden Knife. Dyson Hot Fan Heater. Banksy: Myths & Legends. In an age when people share the most mundane details of their lives with the world and celebrities can’t play a bit of tonsil hockey without 8,000 pictures popping up online, it’s amazing that Banksy has been able to keep his identity a secret for so long.
In fact, his mysterious life and covert art ops are exactly the kind of things tall tales and grand stories are born from. While you might have to wait for the “Banksy: Yup, I’m James Franco” book, or other insanely mind-blowing autobiography, you can now get your hands on the next best thing. In “Banksy: Myths & Legends,” you get access to some of the greatest myths and legends (okay, that was fairly self-explanatory) surrounding the mysterious street artist, most stemming from those in his home town of Bristol.
ZAL Creations Lighting. Defy Bags: Old Materials. New Ideas. Horn Bike iPhone Mount. Nerf Vortex Disc Blaster. Almoco Flatware. WAVE – Waterproof MP3 Player Headphones. As guys, we like to take our workouts seriously, it’s how we balance out the empty beer bottles we accrue each weekend.
Rover App-Controlled Spy Tank. Brixton x Fender Guitar & Record Case. Vapor Sky Personalized Artwork. We’re kind of audio freaks around here.
We stash cash for high-performance speakers, iPhone docking units and surround sound systems that rival those installed at Regal Cinemas. Doane Paper Leather Works. We can’t pinpoint precisely when it happened, but our memory just isn’t what it used to be. If Facebook didn’t keep track of history and Foursquare didn’t keep track of where we were, we’d have no idea what happened last week – let alone years ago. We’ve discovered that there’s also a lot of shit we gotta fucking get done, and if we don’t write it down we’re never going to remember it. GoPano iPhone 4 Panorama Lens. Bicycle Wine Rack. Generally, wine and bicycles go together like oil and water. Polish off a few bottles of vino and mounting your metal steed isn’t a great idea. Getting to your destination with an unopened bottle intact is almost as difficult.
Space Invaders Playing Cards. Mr Jones All Around the World Watch. Gerber Apocalypse Kit. Philips Fidelio Wireless Speaker. Logitech Harmony Link. Plane Pieces Inc. Art and Lighting. If you can think of anything cooler than having a bunch of art and lighting in your home made from recycled pieces of an airplane, let us know because we’re honestly at a loss with these pieces from Plane Pieces Inc.
A vintage retention nut and piston from a Cessna 182 Skylane propeller got turned into a desk lamp. A martini table made from an Eames era propeller spinner cone with a glass table top that actually spins. Tea light holders created from Beechcraft Baron Airplane internal springs.
