Buy a Camera, Get Happiness?

Today I want to share some thoughts about camera retailers and retailing… because I am sick of camera stores competing purely on the basis of “rock-bottom …

The Best Drinking Accessories: Ice Luges

If you’ve never been drunk enough to spend a few hours contemplating how to build a magical machine that will cool and deliver booze directly to your mouth, you should probably keep trying.

Ice Luge for alcohol in the shape of a naked woman
Yeah, you're going to have put your lips on that.

If you have, you probably know that despite the ridiculous amount of gears, pulleys, small animals and freeze rays you’ve worked into your design, it just isn’t going to work.

Luckily for your crushed spirit of whimsy, these fantastical devices do exist, and they’re called Ice Luges. You see them in movies and on TV, or maybe you’ve even been to a wedding where rum rains down upon you like the blessings bestowed upon that awesome couple for springing for an open bar. However, if you really want to have a party at home, you have to pay someone to carve you one of these magnificent alcohol delivery systems out of ice into a swan or a race car or maybe even a giant bust of yourself; this is expensive, and drastically effects the amount of booze you can buy to actually use on the damn thing. Unfinished Man figures that every guy should be able to fling ice cold liquids into his friends’ faces whenever he so pleases, so we’ve found a few reusable Luges you can make at home, whenever the need strikes you.

Taco Bell brings back the Beefy Crunch Burrito

Taco Bell’s Beefy Crunch Burrito Returns With The Help of 3MF

Back in August, I wrote about a group of hardcore Taco Bell fans that pretty much dedicated their entire free time to a very important cause. The main goal of the movement was to bring back a discontinued item which according to Burrito experts is one of the best menu items Taco Bell has ever offered in its 49 year history. This menu item that I speak of is the ‘Beefy Crunch Burrito’.

Through the power of social media and consumer loyalty, Taco Bell fans have been able to achieve their goal. Taco Bell and 3 Million Fans have officially announced the return of the Beefy Crunch Burrito. Richard Axton, the brains behind the 3 Million Fans movement was invited to Taco Bell headquarters in Irvine, CA and told about the great news in person.

Hopscotch Festival 2013: Grand Tasting Hall

20131116_201318

It is said you know you live a life of luxury, when you poison yourself for recreation. And god knows, I came close this year thanks to great people, like Executive Director Adam Bloch, who organize and participate every year at Hopscotch Festival in Vancouver. Going on 18 years strong, there’s little sign of slowing down. As cliché as it to describe my joy as a ‘kid in a candy store’, I was smiling from ear to ear, all day and all night long.

Manly Design with Wooden Cinderblocks and Oil Lamps – Sergio Silva

wooden cinder blocks by sergio silvaMost older guys will fondly reminisce about the days where they created customized (read: poor as shit) man caves with milk crates, two by fours, and cinderblocks.ceramic cinderblocks and light bulb oil lamps by sergio silva Something about the way the manly design of this makeshift modular crap is fondly remembered always made it something that a small part of me wanted to try, just because it seemed like a rite of passage. I usually snap back to reality pretty quickly, realize I don’t want trash in my apartment, and pull out the Ikea catalog. Then I found Sergio Silva‘s pieces, and suddenly the “I’m so broke I cook my KD on the radiator” look has been upgraded to a much more respectable “I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.”
