Fine Living

Most people enjoy the finer things in life, such as a pint of beer on a hot summer day, or an attractive, scantily clad woman bending over to retrieve her car keys. However, some people crave fine things of another type; gadgets, gear, travel, and even the occasional cooking recipe are all topics you’ll find under our fine living category. Chances are you’ll see a picture of the occasional scantily clad woman as well.

mini briefcase business card holder

When I used to work in an office I always wanted to carry a briefcase with me but I wasn’t important enough to have “things” that needed to be carried in a briefcase.  I did take lunch with me occasionally but I think carrying that in a briefcase was overkill.  If you feel the need to carry a briefcase but, like me, need something important to carry in it we have the solution for you, the Mini Briefcase Business Card Holder/Case. continue reading →

EDC Rap

If you’ve never heard the term “EDC” before, don’t feel too bad. It probably just means that you have better things to spend your money on than collecting comical amounts of military gear and fantasizing about the inevitable apocalypse. Believe me, it’s a heck of a lot easier on your wallet to avoid EDC entirely. The moment you start collecting, well… that’s it, you’re hooked.

EDC stands for “every day carry”, and it basically means all the crap a person lugs around in their day to day lives. Most people carry a continue reading →

Audi e-Bike Concept

We’ve written about a few electric bicycles in the past, while these bikes were technologically advanced, they lacked in the styling department.  The Audi e-Bike Worthersee concept electric bike not only features state of the art technology but comes with the same elegant styling found on Audi automobiles.

Unlike other electric bicycles, the Audi e-Bike concept is made for doing tricks and wheelies and of course, regular commuting.  The bike is produced by using lightweight materials such as Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) in the frame and the wheels.  The frame weighs only 3.53 pounds (1.6 kg) and the wheels weigh 1.32 lbs (0.6 kg), the entire bike weighs 46.3 lbs (21 kg) with the motor and lithium-ion battery pack. continue reading →

Hugvie Robot

Since the dawn of mankind, humanity has aspired to create robots that match both the intelligence and visual aesthetic of their human counterparts. The scientific body has made massive strides over the decades, bringing us ever closer to realistic robotic sex dolls skilled enough to give the most earth shattering handjobs, and intelligent enough to beat chess masters. As with any evolution, though, sometimes there are dead ends. Deadends like the Hugvie robot.

The Hugvie is some sort of creepy Casper wannabee created by the VStone Corporation in Japan, based on another creepy robot developed by Osaka University’s Professor Ishiguro. I’m not completely clear what continue reading →

ikea cardboard camera

Global home making monster company Ikea has spent years coming up with new and exciting ways to make all the things you need out of the least expensive materials possible while still maintaining some modicum of function. While most of us have at least one piece of press board with a name that includes about ten too many vowels, there are some lines we draw when it comes to what we’ll let Ikea make for us. They’ve slowly branched out to encompass everything in the home, as well as tchotchkes and lifestyle accessories. But with the announcement of a new TV, and now the Ikea cardboard camera called Knäppa, the Swedish brand is looking to revolutionize design for our electronics too. continue reading →

360 Degree Fargo Desktop Fan

Nope, that isn’t a 1950’s era trophy. That oil-rubbed bronze beauty with antique-brass accents would be the Fargo Desktop Fan. Offices all over town are either getting their fans out for the summer heat or cutting costs now just so they can foot the air conditioning bill once June arrives.

Unlike the traditional oscillating fans or even the fancy bladeless Dyson fan, the Fargo Desktop fan gives you 360 degrees of cooling coverage which the other fans do not. Plus, this fan looks totally badass and ‘sophistimacated’. continue reading →

Arsenal Firearms Strike One Pistol

Arsenal Firearms has a real knack for creating exciting gun videos. When a company announces a new firearm, their release video is almost always dry, technical, and lifeless. Everyone wants to know the technical capabilities of the weapon, but no one cares to learn them in a half hour snore-fest. Arsenal does things a little differently, with booming dramatic music, lots of slow motion, and memorable shooters like the Agent 47 lookalike from their AF2011-A1 Double Barrel Pistol video.

This new announcement video features Arsenal Firearms’ upcoming Strike One Pistol, a sidearm that will strike fear into the most jaded and battle hardened pistol shooter… people. Well, at least that’s what I’m continue reading →

Pepper Spray disguised as a Lighter

It may appear to be a typical and inexpensive lighter from your local corner store but this bad boy packs an extra punch. The Discreet Pepper Spray Lighter has enough ‘sting’ to keep a douche bag or two at bay if they are unfortunate enough to be in the target area.

Although the effective range of this is probably nowhere near your standard pepper spray device, the lighter definitely has the compact factor on its side. The Discreet Pepper Spray Lighter can be yours for only $3.89. Now, it would be a real shame if you mix them up and accidentally light a smoke for some hot babe. Actually, it would be pretty amazing to see something like that unfold.

If you don’t know what it’s like to get pepper sprayed, consider yourself lucky. The guys in video below, not so lucky. continue reading →

Sony Android SmartWatch

It wasn’t that long ago when somebody at the mall, grocery store, or bus stop would ask you questions about the type of watch you were wearing. These days, if they are socially capable, they will most likely ask you about the type of phone you have and its features.

I think it’s about time the wrist gets some action again (clean thoughts guys). The Sony SmartWatch is not only an attractive piece of hardware but features plenty of “smarts”. The Sony SmartWatch features a 1.3-inch OLED touch screen display, Bluetooth 3.0, and has enough battery life to last up to four days. continue reading →

Teckell foosball tables made in Italy

Back in my college days I used to skip many classes just so I can play foosball against my fellow students and be crowned the “King of Foosball”.  I never got that title and miraculously graduated with a degree; now that I’m “all grown up” I still long for playing foosball but my taste has changed a bit.  Instead of playing on beat up foosball tables found at universities, game rooms, and bars, I now prefer foosball tables with a bit of a luxury touch and that’s where Teckell come in. continue reading →
