The weather to sit back and chill in the sun is just about here. You get invited to a patio party but there are not enough chairs for everybody. So what are you going to do? Are you going to stand there like a creeper? Hell no!

You are going to be that nerdy dude and pull out a chair from your pocket. Yes, you heard right. The Pocket Chair is just what it sounds like. It’s a chair that folds and fits in your pocket. The chair is able to hold up to 250lbs thanks to the “dual-action counter rotational support system” that gives you the strength of steel and the comfort of a chair. The pocket chair can be yours for the low low price of $14.99.

We’ve been using the VISS Beauty IPL hair reduction system for some time now and it’s time to share the progress made so far. We did our first report at the end of September after we had completed 2 treatments using this Intense Pulsed Light hair reduction system.

If you’re not sure what VISS Beauty IPL is, you might want to check out the original article here. Basically, the VISS Beauty IPL is a device that emits light which is absorbed by pigment in the hair shaft beneath the surface of the skin. This helps in disabling hair follicle activity which prevents hair from growing back. Below, you will find pictures of the results we have been able to achieve in approximately 12 weeks (1 treatment per 2 weeks).

It’s very rare that a gadget gets me all hot and bothered, but this upcoming “smart window” from Samsung has done just that. The Samsung Smart Window is a completely transparent window (as you would expect), but with a twist.

I’ve smoked the hookah a few times here and there but it’s not a regular thing for me. Some people are obsessed with the smoking device and even collect them since different regions of the world have different styles and designs. And those with money to blow skip the standard hookah and strictly deal with “designer” hookahs such as the ‘Designer Shisha by Porsche Design’.

If the offerings from Porsche Design are still not worthy enough then perhaps the hookah from Etienne LeRoy might do it for you. The Swiss made Etinne LeRoy hookah was unveiled at the Big Boys Toys in Dubai and is limited to only 99 pieces making it that much more exclusive. The Swiss are known for their quality craftsmanship and this hookah is no exception. According to the company, “the Etienne LeRoy team have decided to ally the Eastern tradition and modern Swiss design to create the best sheesha ever made”.

Döttling makes some of the most expensive watch safes and winders in the world; their latest creation is the Döttling Colosimo Double Wing watch safe.  This mini-watch safe takes its design inspiration from the famous 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL sports car which is more commonly referred to as the “Gullwing” car.

The Colosimo Double Wing safe is covered in sporty red leather and the front of the safe does look somewhat like the dashboard of the 300SL.  The safe features a Wempe Zeitmeister clock in the middle, which is designed to look like the one on the 300SL’s dashboard, and below it are retro-toggle switches.
