February 26th, 2012 | Design, Fashion, Gear | 1 Comment

Working in the shoe industry does a number on your closet, which seems to be eating itself and if you’ve seen my apartment, you might say I have a problem. I say the more the merrier. I can find a place to store them later!

These are the latest pair that is snacking on my wallet. Read More

Photos don’t really do this car justice, but when you see one of these on the road you can’t help but look and ask your friend, “What the fuck was that?” Read More

What car does your candidate drive? Romney, Newt, Santorum, Ron Paul, Obama?

February 19th, 2012 | Gear, Headlines | 13 Comments

So the Detroit Free Press released an article yesterday about how Rick Santorum, a man who is running his campaign on bringing back manufacturing to America, drives a German manufactured automobile. I thought this would be a good chance to see what the other candidates in the running are driving to the mall, or the beach, or those weird parking lots with the 20 foot wooden fences at the adult XXX bookstoresRead More

Only in America | Ford F350 6×6 Pickup Truck

February 4th, 2012 | Gear, Headlines, P.O.V. | 0 Comments

This goes out to my best friend Robert in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Robert and I have been friends since we were 16 and he moved to the USA when we were 20. That year the most common phrase that came out of his mouth was “Only in America!” It usually went something like this: 128 oz fountain Coke for $0.99? ONLY in America! Read More

First up I know a lot of you are thinking HUMMER? Really? Look, this isn’t the bright yellow grocery getter that soccer moms in Jersey drive to Target on the weekends. This is a fucking military vehicle rebranded for the streets and it is awesome! Sure, it’s part of the reason we had to go to war for oil, but it’s also the reason America is awesome. Let’s get down to brass tacks with this one. Read More

Sale Season | NYC | Designer Clothes

January 26th, 2012 | Gear, P.O.V. | 0 Comments

Post, post Christmas sales kick ass. Retail boutiques generally have a high influx of customers before the holiday season, then things drop off. That is the time to buy. In New York City many of the high end clothing companies are having sales in their retail outlets. I saw a pair of $600 boots in Rag & Bone for $120 last weekend with the majority of their winter footwear and winter gear on sale. A.P.C., the company that makes my favorite denim, is having a sale on shirts, sweaters and outerwear. If you are looking for some new duds and live in NYC or were thinking of taking a trip, this weekend and next weekend is the time to move. Retail is ready to bring in their Spring lines so take advantage of these sales before everything gets split up between Marshalls, GUILT, ETC. Even if you only rock what you get for a few weeks before it gets warm again, you will still have dope gear for next winter at half the price. Just a tip!

CES 2012 – Best of Samsung – The Return of the Vacuum Tube

January 13th, 2012 | Gear | 0 Comments

CES is a massive, massive tradeshow. It’s in the Las Vegas Convention Center which is 3.2 Million square feet. Think of it this way. It’s the size of 18 Wal-Mart Supercenter’s and then it is cut up into thousands of smaller booths and hallways. The Samsung exhibit reminded me of just how big this building is. Samsung’s booth had walls and a ceiling and was at leas the size of a Best Buy. After being in there for about 45 minutes I asked someone how to get back into the convention center and after a confused look they said you’re in it. Anyways, here’s the best of what Samsung has to offer for 2012. Read More

Sometimes you need to keep 1 Terabyte of data in your pocket? Right? Sometimes you need biometric Thumbprint scanning to unlock your data? Right? I don’t know. Regardless, this is pretty cool, mainly because in 2 years this will be commonplace technology. Read More
