Apple has announced that there are now 2 million iPads sold. And since the iPad is basically a new genre of computer and doesn't even have a built-in lid (like a laptop) for protection, it could be easy to go commando. But never fear, there are now equally as many cases available. But most look like weird giant iPhone cases or mis-fitted...

Maximum thrust: 600 lbs Holds people up to 280+ pounds holds 5 gallons of fuel, gets 10 gph Range: 31.5 miles @ 63 MPH. that's right,...
We keep hearing about this little device: the AeroPress. Imagine what would happen if a French press pot mated with an espresso maker, but then the result was re-tooled by the makers of ShamWow and the SlapChop. Now you're getting the idea. Everyone loves this little coffee maker (on Amazon, with 411 reviews, it has a 4 1/2 star - out of 5 -...
Those that live and work in India (and other Asian countries like Thailand and Malaysia) are familiar with one of the handiest storage containers and lunchboxes: tiffins. Everyday, couriers in Asian cities transport tiffins filled with lunches - either from a caterer or their homes - to people in their offices. They are simply designed adn...
Chrome is one of the top manufacturers of messenger bags. Let us clarify: not the craptastic messenger bags that seem to be ubiquitous these days - the flimsy things that hang on one shoulder and only fit more than a laptop if you cram it in and make an appointment for a neck massage. No, we're talking about messenger bags - you know, like the...
No, this stainless steel wallet is not some sheet metal thing that will rip your privates when you take it in and out of your pocket - it's way more interesting than that. It is woven with micro-fine threads of stainless steel (.001 inches thick - 25,000 threads in each wallet, to be exact). The result is a smooth, metallic looking, silky...
I have this problem vis-a-vis getting groceries on my bicycle. You see, I have a messenger bag (more on this sooon...), which is great, but it's not altogether suited for carrying groceries - especially if I have other stuff (like my macbook pro) as well. So, I have been thinking about buying a backpack. But (a) I'll only use it when I...
We love this whole movement towards the analog aesthetic. Sometimes it's steampunk, sometimes just classic, sometimes it's hard to really make a distinction between the two. They call it "new-stalgic", but we're not on board with that term... That is certainly the case with the Crosley Solo radio. It definitely has that old tube radio look,...
If you are a food-happy, gadget-loving cooker (like us!), or if you have one such person on your holiday gift list, here's an awesome, handy and super hi-tech gadget: a portable induction burner. Here's the scoop on induction burners: they don't generate heat. Instead, they use a powerful magnet (which means you have to use pots with iron or...
We all know it's coming. Yes, I'm talking the apocalypse. Driving home the other night, with a post-apocalyptic grocery list on my mind, I stared out the window. As is usual in Los Angeles this time of year, the landscape was charred and still smoking from a recent fire. In the distance, I could still see the fire hovering above the palm...
