Recently, I almost jumped a buddy I saw wearing a Knot Theory tie, and that led to our article on the Canadian company. Turns out that the neckwear isn’t the only sexy thing the design house is known for- meet Tanya Huang, the creator of the Knot Theory line.
Let me preface this by saying that last year, I didn’t know much about wine. Me and the Unfinished Men usually pound through a few litres of vodka a weekend, but I always wondered what it would be like to look all adult and classy by having a glass of wine to wave about knowingly. I love to drink… a lot. Like, a lot. But after countless nights spent quaffing sugary crap out of plastic safety cups in clubs, I yearned to get a little bit cultured and have a glass with dinner, or to swirl a goblet under my nose and actually know why the hell I was doing that. I tried a number of wines, hoping to dip my toe into a pool of ambrosia- unfortunately, because I am not a big spender, most of the wines I was trying were more like splashing around in a vat of acid. In fact, I was beginning to think I was going to become a staunchly anti-wine advocate. One night at dinner in Whistler, BC, I came upon See Ya Later wines…there’s a quirky dead dog on the label, the price was right (starting at about $15 a pop,) and upon extensive investigation of several dozen bottles of Pinot Gris, I realized I was in love. Since I realized there’s a lot of you guys who probably also don’t know a lot about wine, can’t find a bottle that you like, and don’t want to sell all your mint in box action figures in the hopes of getting something decent, I figured what the hell- I went straight to the source for your recommendation pleasure.
We always keep an eye out for the coolest art projects to hit the interwebs, and French photographer Laurent Laveder has a series of pieces that certainly fit the bill. ‘Moon Games’ is a series of silhouettes featuring props that show people interacting with the moon. There’s not actually much going on in these photos, but sometimes the simplest concepts have the biggest impact. Being the jaded internet denizen that I am, I feel obligated to take the Unfinished Man team out to hold up cardboard goatse hands over the next full moon. Check after the jump for a collection of whimsical images of a phenomenal lunar view and one man’s imagination…no horrific memes included.
I was trolling around Youtube looking for music by The Glitch Mob (whom I love for their dirty, industrial chill sound) and stumbled across this phenomenal video by Khameleon808 – ‘The Apple Tree – Feat. The Glitch Mob‘ is a flawlessly executed montage of 739 distinct and separate movie clips, seamlessly set to an epic score of Glitch Mob remixes. It’s pretty amazing; the video clips often have absolutely nothing to do with one another and there’s no dialogue, yet somehow the piece is a cohesive whole you can’t turn away from. I can’t imagine the obscene amount of time it would have taken to stitch hundreds of clips together, match action to musical features and to add in the jumps and pops that are characteristic to The Glitch Mob’s sound. The top notch editing and wicked bassy tracks will keep you riveted, but the fact that it’s basically 15 minutes of boobs, explosions, and fighting definitely helps too. Video after the jump.
Nothing says finished man like ruggedly sexy home decor. Forget throw pillows and pastel color schemes- Rail Yard Studios has begun building stunning, macho furniture out of reclaimed rail ties and pieces of historical railways. Some of the pieces of steel and nails used were originally placed as far back as 1899, and were being sold for scrap when the railways were scheduled to be updated. Normally, rail ties are creosote treated, but often before they even get to that stage, they are singled out for flaws and slated to be sent to the furnace. This brilliant design house intercepts these ties before they’re completely wasted and creates the intriguingly badass furniture pictured after the jump.
Money is one of those things that’s guaranteed to strain relationships; financials between friends can get hairy, so how do you even approach who pays for what with the girl you’re seeing? In today’s world, there are generally three attitudes women have about who’s picking up the tab, and three possible outcomes. Some girls expect a man to pay all the time, and some girls want to buy all the time; since you won’t always find a girl who wants to split everything perfectly 50/50, our handy strategy guide will help you decide when you should pick up the bill like the finished man you strive to be without looking like a cheapskate or a jerk.
What Women Want – A Disclaimer
These days, it’s hard to know what type of girl you’re dating right off the bat- you may feel like you’re guaranteed to get screwed either way.
Light exposure photography is one of those simple things that never ceases to amaze me- you see thousands of exciting applications of it all over the web, but somehow, each new photo still manages to blow my mind. One of my favorite light painters is David Gilliver; where you normally see a lot of sketched lines or car tail lights, he’s mainly focused on creating geometric elements with perfect orbs and winding ribbons. The scope of his images is immense- large, open locales feature huge trails or precise placement of carefully crafted luminescence. None of these photos are retouched- he runs around in the black of night dressed like a burglar to avoid being caught on film. Check out his brilliant work after the jump.
