My inner-child wants the whole collection designed by Timothy Liles so I can create a masterpiece whenever I see paper. Available in a packaged set of four (red, blue, yellow and black). Read more

We got our hands on a Kinekt Gear Ring the other day and haven’t stopped playing with it since. In a good way, of course. The Gear Ring, which is made from high quality matte stainless steel, features six micro-precision gears that turn in unison when the outer rims are spun. It’s a blast. And it looks great on the hand, too. As my wife will now attest. Read more

I’ve always had this urge to experience the great American outdoors, that picturesque world that I’ve seen in countless John Candy reruns. Yes, I’d stay in a rustic log cabin, surrounded by chipmunks and coyotes and sing John Denver songs by the fireplace. Hmmm. Maybe I’ll make it happen one day. Maybe? Nah. [painting by Mark Ryden]
Sparks’ album Kimono My House is a demented mix of hard rock, pop, glam, new wave, and baroque pop. Why this record never caught on in the States I’ll never know.
