Because really, what do cyclists do other than cycle? Drink beer. Or maybe that's just a cliche, but it's still pretty cool to have one of these around. The bicycle chain is actually a good asset because it allows you to hang it where you like, or just spin it around on your finger. Anodized aluminum opener should stand up to lots of caps. On...
My wife insists that this is the French way to cut your bread. Of course I have no way to verify this, save flying to Paris and breaking into random homes (which could be nice if they provided dinner). So I guess I will have to take her word for it. I will admit, however, it is quite a handy way to do it. I will also admit that if the French...
We aren't promoting drinking your way through the holidays, but we aren't not promoting it either. Think how much easier it will be to deal with the familial guilt and shortcomings, the awkward work party conversations and kisses from your mustachioed aunties when you're half in the bag! And as an added bonus: you will be the envy (and newly...
The Restore Basket is made by Finnish designer, Miva Tolvanen (don't you just love Finnish names?). It's super simple and clean, yet strong and good for holding newspapers or magazines, your craft goods, firewood or whatever else. The felt finish ensures that wherever you drag it, it won't scratch. We love the eco-friendly nature of it and...
It's the holiday season, and we like to send flowers sometimes. We recently discovered Organic Bouquet, a florist that sends organic flowers...but what's even better, they have a special program of pre-designed bouquets that all include a donation to your favorite charities - 45 charities in total. We love that there's a lot of wins in this...
Anyone who lives in Southern California may know that the Santa Anas have been blowing in of late. For those of you who don't, these are the hot winds that blow down from, well, the Santa Ana mountains. And when I say blow, I mean BLOW. Up to 100 mph gusts come ripping through LA, taking down trees, powerlines, small animals - whatever gets in...
Get to-go food ever? We do to. Who has time to always cook? But the problem is that every time you go to get Ma po tofu or sushi or what have you, they always throw in plastic ware. If you're lucky it's made from corn - but in the end it's still going to the landfill. So we were excited when we saw these on sale while eating some delicious...
So my bicycle got stolen. Right out under my face while I was sipping coffee on Main St. Santa Monica. Life in the big city, I guess. So I've been out shopping for replacements (recommendations coming soon...). I'm looking at building the ultimate urban vehicle. The main issue I've come upon if you're really going to commute is that you need...
Bamboo. Good stuff: grows fast, absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, at least as strong as most woods, looks great. Tradtional keyboard and mouse: plastic from petroleum, ugly, non-renewable. Bamboo meet keyboard and mouse. People, meet the Bamboo Keyboard and Mouse Combo from Micro Innovations. $40 BUY...
These pendants from graypants are handmade in Seattle, WA of repurposed cardboard boxes. They are unique looking and cast a really cool light. They are coated with a No-Burn spray (it's green, don't worry - no VOCs, Class A Fire Rating) so you won't burn your house down. We like the "Jupiter" series because they look like flashy planetary...
