We have comprised a list of six such must-have items, so that you can choose what will make you, in turn, smart (and the teeniest bit like Tony Stark.

Enjoy, and let’s see how smart you can really get.

Here it is again: the time of the year when we officially acknowledge the male role-models in our lives, celebrating our fathers and father figures and letting them know how much they mean to us (even though we don’t always show it.) A little extra love on a special day never hurt anybody, and what better way to express it if not by getting them something that’ll make them smile almost as broadly as the day you were born. Call your dad, grandpa, uncle, person-that-made-you-who-you-are-today, and tell them you love them. It’ll make their day, we promise … continue reading

The Lunar Internationalist is part of Nike’s Crosstown Running range.

[adsense300gray]It’s summer, well almost, and if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t care about things, well, you should get yourself a pair of titanium sunglasses.

This is actually Shwood’s   first pair of sunglasses with a titanium made…

[adsense300gray]Hard Graft just did it again, this time it’s a beautifully crafted inbound passport/wallet/heritage or whatever, I’m not good at this, as you can see for yourself. This thing looks like a wallet to me and it’s pretty good looking, it costs about $200 (that’s usually more than I have on me on a daily basis) and it can do the simple job I require from a wallet : it can hold money, a credit card and a drivers’ license. The rest is irrelevant. Oh, did I mentioned that it looks awesome?  The attention to detail is fantastic, this baby…

In a fashion world where sneakers tend to be neon red, fluorescent green and glowing white, fashion designer/film director Tom Ford managed to pull it off, realising a Norm-core collection of sneakers.

[adsense300gray]Once upon a time, when I was happy and travelling in Berlin, I knew an Iranian dude with a gold tooth and a golden Benz. I think this Triwa Black Gold Chrono watch would fit like a glove for my friend Ahmed and his yellow Mercedes Benz. I mean, take a look at this beautiful $460  golden watch with a little touch of black on the hands! Ain’t that something?

What do butchers and bicycles have in common, you may ask? You asked, I will tell you the truth folks : absolutely nothing. Well, maybe except this weird bicycle which is in fact a sort of tricycle with a garbage can in front of it. Got that? A three wheeled bicycle, made in Denmark/Copenhagen by a couple dudes who live in the meat district (hence the butchers) and  supposed to improve our sad and pathetic lives. Because, you know, even if your life sucks, if you can cruise around the city with a garbage can on your tricycle, somehow your life…

Hypercars: McLaren F1 and the newer P1, Bugatti Veyron, Ferrari LaFerrari,The 918 Spyder from Porsche or Lamborghini Reventon. Have you heard about them? First of all let’s get something straight: Hypercar is a relatively new term in the automotive industry, meaning cars that have an immense amount of horsepower, that are more expensive, and go above and beyond the average “supercar”. These hypercars push the cutting edge of technology with stratospheric price tags and unbelievable performance figures. Often mistaken for supercars, hypercars are also very expensive, but have something that sets them apart: supercars are designed for messing with G-Forces…

[adsense300gray]A Canadian software developer turned carpenter, Joel Allen dedicated countless hours to building this tiny HemLofttreehouse dwelling in the woods of Whistler.

It’s called SCiO and it’s a portable molecular sensor that can be carried around with you and it’s perfectly capable of analyzing the chemical structure of…basically anything : fruits, foods, flowers, anything. Yeah, it’s a breakthrough, yet I bet it will…

The same thing can be told in regard to LIX, an almost magic-like tool that enables its users to draw in the air, without using a regular pen or paper. Basically, what we’re dealing with here is a 3D printing pen, the smallest in the world, according to its creators.

Using a highly improbable name (and hardly pronounceable), Nike’s SB Project BA RR sounds like a brand of Klingon shoes. But despite the weird name, this is a regular pair of Nike sneakers. I mean, they look good, they’re light, comfortable and they also have a wild color : nightshade black atomic mango. As you can see, the marketing department from Nike is on crack or something. How do they come up with these names folks? What’s that, black atomic mango? That species of mango tree that grows near Fukushima? [adsense300gray]Anyway, this pair of shoes is crafted beautifully, as you can see…

This type of mobile home comes with luxuries like a king size bed that’s convertible to twin beds (who wants that anyway?) and a retractable roof. Basically, you can imagine you own a convertible car and you drive it from your bed, or something like that. [adsense300gray]Anyway, besides…

Spanning decades, cylinder numbers, and displacements ­ each engine¹s voice is as individual and recognizable as its body style. Just one of these cars is enough to get any automotive enthusiast¹s attention, but hearing all…

If you’re into knives like yours truly, you’ve probably heard about Benchmade, an Oregon based knife (and other deadly stuff) builder (or creator if you like), from the US of A. Now, this company is well known for their cutlery, especially for their tomahawk line, one of the best in the world. If memory serves, Winnettou used to have a Benchmade tomahawk, but maybe it’s just too sunny in here. [adsense300gray]Anyway, Benchmade is now offering its fanbase a custom knife builder, because they can and because acquiring a custom made EDC (every day carry)from Benchmark is maybe the best idea…

I bring  good news for all the Audi enthusiasts out there: the new Audi RS7 Dynamic Edition was officially announced! The “breaking news” was released before the New York Auto Show 2014 and it signals the availability of the German monster for the US market starting this summer. [adsense300gray]Yes, indeed, the RS7 Dynamic Edition is a monster of a car, the nec plus ultra of German engineering. And if there’s something  the Germans excel at, that’s cars folks! The new version of the RS7 brings a few changes in both departments : visual (aerodynamic) and, most importantly, performance upgrades.  The…

Cartoon artist Anders Morgenthaler and Danish writer Mikael Wulff, the creative duo behind Wumo – has created a brilliant series of graphs that illustrate some everyday life’s painful truths. Their graphs and diagrams are snarky and sarcastic but, for the most part, true. This, coupled with their simple and official-looking design, makes them a delight to look at.

[adsense300gray]Most people are dog persons (I am too, even if I sold my soul to two little mischievous cats) and a lot of persons like to travel with their dogs or just carry them around here and there, in the park, for example. In the car. Well, this thing raises an issue: even if dogs are known for being smart and obedient, they still can cause some damage to your seats with their claws, drooling or even nastier things, such as barfing. You needn’t worry about that anymore if buying the Kurgo Wander Hammock, a seat cover dedicated to saving…

We’re starting off with this new HisPotion series “The Saturday Adventure” with a couple of base-jumpers throwing themselves off Moab Towers in Utah. Sit back, relax and listen to their story – if you’re not impressed or if it doesn’t move you, I don’t know what can.

So, are you ready to try this? We’ll hook you…

[adsense300gray]Deciding which tablet is the best for gaming in 2014 isn’t an easy task; firstly it is like trying to hit a multiple moving target with all the targets flying in different directions. While tablet technologies are constrained to follow the underlying Moore’s Law of electronic technology development, the fact that their product cycle is at most a year means that there is always something just a little better than the model that we have currently. If your idea of gaming is playing games on an online casino like GamingClub.com/au/casino-games or even playing Candy Crush or Angry Birds, you don’t…

[adsense300gray]I don’t know about you guys, but I sometimes feel the need for buying all kinds of strange items that look and seem interesting enough to deserve my money even if I ask myself afterwards if it was a wise choice while scratching my head in confusion. Well, what does it matter anyway? If it makes me happy for a while, it doesn’t. One item from my list of peculiar things that I’d like to buy is a pair of jeans from Naked & Famous Denim Weird Guy – the Scratch-N-Sniff Mind Scented Denim. As you probably suspect already, these funnily-named…

[adsense300gray]One of the most innovative devices that comes around this year is the Body Dryer, a system that does exactly what you probably suspect: it dries your body after you come out of the shower. With this, you can say your good-byes to the regular towels, as this baby is said to dry your marvelous body in less than 30 seconds. It’s also safe and bacteria free, unlike your bath towels, which normally gather and grow germs after being used for several times. I know that those bacteria I’m talking about aren’t really such big issues, but this system is…

Already having a backed and fully funded product on kickstarter, the guys at Chivote are back with a new project – the world’s first two sided, handcrafted leather backpack, the 2Face Backpack. The backpack comes in 3 colors: the Black and RedRum leather colors are already some of the best looking backpacks I’ve seen in a while, but it’s the Nubuck that simply blows me away. While there’s no doubt the exterior surely has that Apple-like design, that just makes you want to touch it and never let go, there’s good news coming from the inside as well. The laptop…

If vintage, old and even ancient objects are your thing, my guess is that you’ll be quite interested in an intriguing piece of furniture created by Polish design studio Holzano. What’s so special about it? Well, their piece of work is made from the oldest wood ever to be found – the Kauri wood. It originates from a New Zealand forest which was buried 50,000 years ago after an unknown natural disaster occurred. [adsense300gray]The wood was preserved and stumps and root pieces of it are carefully extracted and shipped to Poland for being turned into some cool furnishings. The pieces…

If chose to live in a house over packed in an block of flats like sardines, you probably have a few yards of garden, and when the weather’s on your side, what else could you ask for than a nice dinner cooked on the BBQ.

The world’s largest online retailer, Amazon.com, has released the Amazon Fire TV, a popular streaming media device that occupies the first place on their best selling electronics. These devices have been on the market for a while now and the guys from Amazon have analysed their evolution and came to a conclusion about what works and what doesn’t. Their device is said to be the best out there and probably is, as this tiny device works like a charm due to its powerful hardware, a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, with a quad-core 1.7 GHz Krait 300 processor, 2 GB of RAM…

Summer is almost here. Well, at least if you live where I live. For some chosen ones, summer is perpetual. Okay, so if it’s summer, that spells sunny beaches and hot chicks. How do you pick up chicks without working too much for it? There are a few strategies, but the best one is to have a hot ride, a convertible that looks like heaven on earth (on wheels). Now, if you like driving, well, maybe you’re a BMW head, because BMW still manufactures driver’s cars, especially if they come with the M tag on them. Even if it’s said…

Made in Switzerland (the good Germans), featuring a Ronda quartz mechanism with 5 jewels, gold plated and with a crystal dome sapphire, the Bravur IP Black with the graphite grey dial is one classy timepiece. The case width measures 41 mm and it’s manufactured from high quality stainless steel. Each watch comes with an unique serial number engraved on its back and the straps are made of Swedish/Italian leather. I must tell you, I love the minimalist design of the Bravur IP Black, its round shaped dial and the matte black hands. This is by no means a bling-bling accessory,…

A good sound system is certainly important for anyone who’s addicted to music (like I am, for example, as I couldn’t go one day without it). When that sound system is also defined by fine aesthetics, besides being a good performer and all, I say that it definitely deserves a place in your house. Say hello to Crescendo, an impressive wireless speaker system that wears the signature of Martin Logan and is a perfect combination between high quality features and a good looking design. Crescendo is classy and elegant, resembling with a fine piece of furniture, and will look great…

Oh lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz Zetros? Really now, I could use that! Zetros is a very unusual kind of Mercedes, a 6×6 monster that looks more like a tank or a SWAT vehicle. But in reality, what we’re dealing with here is a luxury vehicle that can be used for lots of purposes : from hunting to taking trips to the North Pole or something. This versatile monster can be used on any terrain imaginable, thanks to its all wheel drive and a monstrous 7.2 liter engine. The engine itself is rather odd. I would’ve expected…

The 2015 Ducati Diavel is a devil of a bike. As you may already know, Ducati makes the best bikes out there, if you’re an enthusiast of course. Cars, bikes, pizza, fashion, the Italians got them all!  This beast of a bike comes with numerous upgrades yet it maintains its classic Ducati style and allure. The aesthetic enhancements consists mainly of LED lighting, used for the headlight, turn lights and the tail section. There are some mechanical upgrades for the “pedal to the metal” types : the four valves Testastretta L-Twin engine was tweaked too, and it now delivers 162…

With legs that go for days months and a body of a goddess, Solveiga Mykolaityte sure reminds me of Elle ‘The Body’ Macpherson. Solveiga is a fashion model from the beautiful Lithuania, a small country in North-Eastearn Europe. Enough with the country – even though if you want to find out more about it, Solveiga has a full photo album dedicated to her home country on her facebook page.

Today, I’ve stumbled upon one of the coolest bookshelves I’ve seen and, of course, I’m going to show it to you. The masterpiece is known as Metamorfosis and is created by Sebastian Errazuriz, a famous artist and designer which is very well known for his beautiful artworks. The awesome bookshelf has been designed as to resemble with the crawling ivy. The artist was inspired by the ivy that crawled on his childhood home, as he used to use its branches for placing his toys. Well, this habit gave birth to a wonderful idea and those of you who enjoy having…

If you’re a surfer, you’ll be quite interested about the Surf Sauna, a cool idea that met its embodiment thanks to the team of surfers and craftsmen that dedicated their time and thoughts for creating a warm escape for those of you who fancy surfing in cold waters. The Surf Sauna is exactly what a cold-water surfer needs for relaxing in a friendly and warm environment after adventuring in a not-so-friendly temperature. The Surf Sauna is made for facing harsh, winter conditions, so choosing western red cedar for building it was a wonderful idea, as it’s antimicrobial and rot resistant.…

This week Hindus around the world celebrate Holi, the Festival of Colors. Holi is a popular springtime celebration observed on the last full moon of the lunar month. Participants traditionally throw bright, vibrant powders at friends and strangers alike as they celebrate the arrival of spring, commemorate Krishna’s pranks, and allow each other a momentary freedom — a chance to drop their inhibitions and simply play and dance

Given the fact that New York is well known for its hefty rents and hard to find affordable living places, Graham Hill, an entrepreneur and the founder of TreeHugger, created a functional apartment that has a surface of only 420 square meters. Well, it surely isn’t a lot, but this apparently tiny living space consists in a bedroom, a home office, guest office, bathroom and can also host 10 guests for dinner. How? Well, due to the transformable living space, which features a moving wall, two guest beds, a main bed and more. The transformation is made by moving around…

With new technological advances happening every minute of the day, keeping up to date with the latest in play sporting events seems like such a generic task. This is reality.

If you fancy  Scuderia Italia, well, let me show you a watch with a price tag of almost $1400. Basically, here’s the “Droid” you were looking for… The Black IP Scuderia features a black and green NATO strap and it’s intended for those of you who are passionate about racing. Being a Swiss made watch, it comes with a Ronda mechanism, a quartz unfortunately. For that kind of money, I would have expected an automatic, but maybe I am a picky bastard. The black and green NATO strap comes with a classic buckle, the watch is water resistant, up to…

Here comes the perfect gadget that can be used to create the perfect gift : the custom single portrait stamp, or stamp yo face, if you’re the illiterate kind. If you’re the narcissistic type of person, you can surprise your loved ones with the coolest gift of all : you can print your face (or yo face, whatever) on a custom rubber stamp and instead of signing your letters/emails with your usual hand written signature, well…you get the general idea. To achieve that,  all you have to do is to send your favorite picture  and “Stamp Yo Face” will use…

It’s set to be a landmark period for technological advancement, with a host of incredible gadgets hitting the consumer shelves and radically improving everything from communication to gaming. Here are just some of the releases we can’t wait to get our hands on this year.

Widely known in the internet culture as Car Porn, taking photos of supercars has always been a second-hand hobby for most boys and men. Because owning such a beauty still is a far away dream for most of us, we can always enjoy watching and enjoying the man-made miracles on wheels. But never cease to dream of owning one some day!

What Greyhours wanted to accomplish was a surprising watch that’s both classic and trendy, and won’t cost fortunes. And boy did they do it! Combining a cool, minimal yet practical design with exclusive materials that are commonly used for pricey, high-end timepieces, they seem to have found the perfect combination. The case has 40 mm diameter, and is a mix of stainless steel and Diamond Like Carbon (aka amorphous carbon). The matte black (or white) dial displays hours, minutes, seconds, day, date and is covered by an anti-reflection sapphire glass. Under the hood it has a Swiss made mechanism personalized…

What’s one of the most important things that has to be considered when you’re setting up for an adventure in the wild? A tent, of course, for providing a “roof” over your head and protection against harsh weather conditions. Well, one of the most practical ones that I’ve recently stumbled upon is the single pole tent from Scout Seattle. This USA-made tent offers a simple and easy way for setting camp without burdening you with unnecessary accessories or undesirable weights that would slow you down and occupy your precious time for setting them up. No, sir. This tent relies on…

The bookshelf can be used for storing your books, magazines or different décor elements and will add a nice touch to the overall appearance of your living place. Not to mention the fact that its eye-catching design will definitely leave a good impression on your…

This might just be the perfect weekend retreat, especially if you’re into minimal stuff. And why wouldn’t you be since you really have all you need to a quiet weekend away from the busy city life. But if you’re planning on building one as a DIY project (like this one here was made), make sure you’re no gadget loving geek or prepare to pack those sun-charging batteries as The Shack has no electricity. And quite frankly it doesn’t really need it! Why ruin everything with a TV set when you can enjoy reading a good book at the oil lamps’…

If you’re the cafe-racer kind of guy, look no further than Honda CX500 by Kingston Customs.  The best of two worlds just met, I mean  a reputable Japanese motorcycle brand and a German custom-builder. What Kingston Customs did was to take a perfectly functional Honda CX500, take it apart (they took away all the cheap plastic parts and they replaced them with cool looking high quality metal) and reconstruct it in a better way. The German way. Jawohl!  The original transverse V-twin engine from Honda was tampered with too. Kingston Customs made it better by treating it with a thermo…

You have a full weekend ahead, so use it wisely and don’t waste your days of rest on resting!

Time is one of the most important commodities we have. You can’t get it back. Are you rushing through the day, scrambling to get everything done on your to-do list? I can be like this but lately I’ve been trying to relax a little more by using my time a bit more wisely and by being a bit smarter in how I use it. Have you watched the movie ‘In Time’ ? It’s a world in which the currency is not money but time, people pay for food, housing, transport with time taken from the lifespan and they also get paid in…

Behold the mighty beast : the Mercedes Benz G65 AMG  iBusiness Edition is here! For those of you who don’t know about the G-Klass, well, this is the vehicle the German army uses on the field of battle. Well, actually, this is the vehicle the German army would use on the field of battle, but they turned pacifists since that nasty event called the WW2. [adsense300gray]What I am trying to tell you is that the G Klass G65 AMG from Mercedes Benz is the ultimate SUV. Now, the G65 AMG by Brabus is a pumped up version of the already…

Suit up! Sometimes all you need is a cool new suit, and we’ll show you how to get the most out of it. Starting off with the classic combination – crisp white shirt, tie, poket square and dress shoes. Three more looks after the jump!

[adsense300gray]Google’s getting serious about smartwatches and that’s a good thing. After the recently announced Android Wear – a platform for wearables, Motorola unveils its Moto 360 – a smartwatch that’s emphasising the design of classic timepieces. Almost as cool as the concept we’ve showed you a couple of days ago. Boasting a circular, digital watchface running on Android Wear, it will grant its owner access to notifications with gestures or voice control. Motorola says they’ll make it available this summer, in a variety of styles from sport leather strap to metallic bands.

[adsense300gray]Aston Martin has 2015 covered with these two special edition beasts – the DB9 White and Black Carbon.

Meanwhile, the exciting details that define N430 should leave no one in…

As I’m the type of person that enjoys innovative and peculiar things, let me introduce you to a cool and also kind of awkward gadget from Aether: ladies and gentlemen, let’s hear it for the Cone! This little guy is a WiFi enabled speaker that thinks for itself and pays attention to your music preferences, trying to learn and figure out what would please you at a certain time. [adsense300gray]Okay, it does sound kind of spooky, but this nice little stalker is harmless, believe me. If you don’t like what’s currently playing or simply wish to listen to something else,…

The guys from design studio Seymourpowell have “conceived” a jacket that really knows no rivals when speaking about extreme weather conditions. The Life Tech smart jacket was designed for Kolon Sport, an outdoor sportswear brand, and is going to be your best friend when you’re facing harsh times and Mother Nature decides to punch you with some nasty weather conditions. The Life Tech is the brainchild of several survival experts such as a Polar Explorer, ski guides and mountaineers.

Wires, wires everywhere to feed up all of your tech stuff, and I know you have plenty of those. First thing is to try and hide all of these messy cables the best way you can, usually putting them in between the walls. But when you’re done doing that you realise your house has more holes than a bee hive. Here are some cool, innovative ideas to make art out of your cords.

[adsense300gray]As part of the latest Spring Collection by Adidas, the Adidas ZX 500 Decon does not fail to bring a freshness of style to anyone wearing them. From a casual day out jogging to a more serious brunch, these shoes fit right in. The black and white combination is totally in this season, the pattern making these shoes the centerpiece of any outfit. Made from a mesh/textile construct, they have no obvious branding apart from the Trefoil Adidas original mark on the tongue tag. Classy, sleek and discreet, these running shoes will keep you on your toes and attract attention. And that’s…

[adsense300gray]A conceptual urban beehive that should stay just that – a concept. Fundamentally flawed and potentially dangerous for you and for the bees (not to mention illegal in most states), this so-called “sexy urban beehive” is beautiful but virtually impossible to achieve. By pulling a string on this lovely glass blob, honey would ideally come out – what a fun novelty item for rich people who need a new and exciting hobby! The Urban Beehive is a hive for the home. It consists of two parts, of which one part has a flowerpot hanging outside and an entrance to the hive, which hangs inside the…

Remember how troublesome carrying all that picnic gear to the beach or the random designated picnic space up on a cliff usually is? Not to mention the additional cooler box and folding table and all the other paraphernalia that comes along with a successful eat-out. Completely foldable and portable, this picnic chair can be easily flung on your muscular back as you trek through the wilderness towards your chosen dining area. Fill the cooler bag with your beverage of choice (some user reviews say it can’t really support a lot of weight, being limited to about three bottles until the…

[adsense300gray]If you’re a nature lover and an environmentalist, now there’s an Escape for you. Really now, if you want to take a trip in the woods but you want to do it in style,  Escape provides you with all the necessary means for survival and then some : fun! Yeah, you got that now! Escape is “the” cabin in the woods (if you wish), but in a good sense of the word (s). Built from natural materials only, I can safely say that no plastics were harmed during the construction of the cabin. I am kidding, but this wooden cabin…

Inspired by the ever changing beauty of the psyche of the female gender, Simplexio has created a mirror design that brings tribute to this confusing yet spectacular phenomenon. [adsense300gray]Women can reach such a level of multidimensionality that even themselves can’t comprehend. They can’t see the spectrum of changes they can go through in just a few seconds. They’re crazy now and angels later. We look at them with astonishment and our reactions aren’t able to change as quickly as their tone of voice. The essence of their multifaceted personality is a primordial soup of mixed fucked up feelings understood only by their…

We’re living in a dangerous world, some say, and we need to be supervised 24/7 by Big Bro, just to be kept  out of harm’s way. At least that’s what “they” say. Surveillance is everywhere, from your smart phone to your smart TV and if you don’t believe me, ask Mr. Snowden, you know, that silly dude that used to work for the CIA and the NSA. Now, even dogs are part of the high-tech surveillance grid, with a new gizmo called The Whistle; this thing attaches from the dog’s collar and it monitors/measures/records its day to day behavior, its…

This is how a $36 million home looks like – a brand new residence in the hills of Hollywood just finished this month.  Palumbo Design and Whipple Russell Architects teamed up and designed the three-story estate with with such luxury amenities as a glass-walled six-car garage, a home theater, a wine room, a Crestron home automation system, Miele kitchen appliances, an infinity pool with a Jacuzzi, and a private deck off the master bedroom with a large fire pit, and more. The asking price?  A cool $36 million. Check out the video below.

All the Smartwatch manufacturers today are trying to make us, the customers, look and feel like cyborgs. Sure, we do love gadgets and technology but still, the product must have a cool style. If I wanted a smartwatch to look and feel like my smartphone, I’d just attach a strap to my iPod Nano, and there you go – a smart-something around my wrist. [adsense300gray]Gabor Balogh took Triwa’s Havana watch pictures and used them to express his vision on how smartwatches should look and feel like. And yes, he nailed it! It’s the kind of design that can make Samsung’s…

Say hello to 360 Fly, the lifestyle cam that will make you a modern-day Francis Ford Coppola. If you never heard about the dude, don’t worry, the better for you, you’ll not become intimidated by such illustrious predecessors… Anyway, the 360 Fly is an eye in the sky, basically a bird’s eye cam with a 360 degrees horizontal angle and 240 degrees vertical angle that can be mounted on your head, for example, and transform you into some weird version of Sauron. You can wear it on the street and be as creepy as it gets, or on your bike, for…

I’m kinda missing summer and probably so are you, so these hot photos of surf girls will get you in the mood and dreaming of how much fun you’re gonna have this summer. And yes, you should go ahead and take surfing lessons if you’re fancying a girl like the ones here. Plus it’s an awesome sport if not a way of living and your body will look cool too. One thing’s for sure, if everybody would surf, this would be a much much better world!

[adsense300gray]Here comes the Ring, the shortcut to everything, one ring to rule them all, one ring to play them all, one ring to bind them, one ring to support on Kickstarter if you’re into cool gadgets. Really now, this Ring gizmo is the best thing ever invented for the inner geek in all of us. Being basically a wearable high tech state of the art input device, the Ring allows you to control  your smart devices around the house using gestures and also to send SMS messages, make payments and a lot more. Just take it for a spin, it will…

NASA recently released some stunning photos inspired by the Hollywood masterpiece Gravity staring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. In fact it’s the other way around, but they’re just closing the circle – NASA inspired the movie that inspired the agency to release these photos. The Earth views from above at night are simply amazing, and these astronaut selfies must be the best selfies so far.

[adsense300gray]The Raw Induction series are the definitive answer for a common problem of the first world : how to charge your smart device without using wires? Yes, Raw Induction means that you can recharge your smartphone wirelessly. That means that your dog or your cat will be left without a wire to chew on, do you realize that? Moving along with the story,these wireless chargers are using the standard QI-based technology, meaning that all of the QI certified devices will work without problems with the Raw Induction series i.e. tablets, smartphones and various adapters. The choice of materials used in…

If you’re into luxurious accommodations and always wanted to go see Africa’s wildlife, Lion Sands Game Reserve is the ultimate retreat. As much as we’d want to tell you more about any of the 5 Lodges or 3 tree houses, it still is much better to get the whole point from the photos below. Prices per night start at around $1,000. The Sabie River, snaking lazily through the Kruger National Park and the Kingstown property, was the life source of the plentiful fauna and flora, and in the late 1930s, Guy built a small camp on the banks of this impressive…

[adsense300gray]The prepper movement is getting traction even in the mainstream “culture” and here the Gerber Myth Kit comes into play. For just $500, you’ll get the full package, lock stock and barrel, with lifetime warranty.

Most of them inspire us by bringing impossibly real characters to life and making us forget they’re actually actors doing their job. But some of these big screen stars don’t just stop there and take their power to inspire even further, on stage, when accepting awards, such as one of the best their is – the Oscars. Here’s a list of the most inspiring Oscar acceptance speeches so far. Starting off with two of the best speeches this year:

[adsense300gray]When I was a little boy, some time ago, a long time ago, Jaguar meant something. Basically, the Jaguar brand was the ultimate sports and luxury vehicle, if you don’t count Bentley and Aston Martin into play. But since then, Jaguar had a very troubled history and the company was sold to all types of dubious people, like American dudes (Ford, if I recall correctly owned Jaguar at some point) and now an Indian company, under the improbable name of Tata Motors owns the British brand. I mean, how can you sell Jaguar to some former third world colony? Well,…

This is the Original Friday Inspiration series – amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you to greatness. You have a full weekend ahead, so use it wisely and don’t waste your days of rest on resting! First of all thanks for all your suggestions. We’ve chose one of Snow Patrol’s best songs called Run – we hope you’ll enjoy it. If you already know love the song, just skip to the second video and hit Play, it’s the same song, only live with well over 10000 people singing it altogether. Goose bumps guaranteed! We do hope this opens up your appetite for concerts or…

[adsense300gray]Filling Pieces is an European footwear company and they just released their SS14 collection, which is blurring the differences between high fashion and casual footwear. Or at least, that’s what they say. If you ask me, there’s no such thing as high fashion and sneakers, but maybe I’m too old for this crap. Anyway, the shoes are made with a little help from the Amsterdam import, as they came with the top notch materials and design, that is signed by some dude named Guillaume Philibert. After the cool sounding name, this guy is French, and frogs definitely know fashion and…

Alana Campos grew up in Brazil in a town with a nickname of “the Island of Magic” because of its no less than 42 beaches that attract surfers and dolphins. “Plus everybody is always smiling. I try to take that happy energy with me wherever I go.” she adds about Florianopolis. And to check that out for a fact you should see Last Vegas, where she plays along Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Michael Douglas. We’ve had the pleasure to spend some time with Alana for a short interview.

[adsense300gray]We’re learning kitchens can be stealth too. I’ve always been a fan of spacious kitchens with middle isle and lots of space, because I like spending time in it and you guessed it, I love cooking and eating. But if you don’t have much room for that multifunctional kitchen you’ve always wanted, there’s this awesome Stealth Kitchen from Resource Furniture. It’s an innovative modular design, which you can configure to match your space, that opens to expose a fully functional kitchen with all the necessities of a high-end, modern kitchen. Microwave, oven, sink, refrigerator, freezer dishwasher and even if doesn’t seem…

Nanotips sounds just like the name of a geek’s virtual girlfriend and actually, Nanotips is made for the geeks everywhere. I know that this sounds funny as hell, but the creators are advertising Nanotips as the liquid solution to your everyday problem. To be honest, I had no idea until now that I’m having a problem, not to mention a daily, recurring problem. But, even if I did not know it, I might have a problem and probably, Nanotips is the solution to my imaginary problem. You know why I’m saying imaginary? Because I’m the proud user of a Nokia…

[adsense300gray]Nowadays, everything comes in a premium version, even the good old alcohol stoves. Now, we have Trea, marketed as a “premium alcohol stove”. What’s up with that you may ask? Well, besides a hefty price tag (it’s my opinion, don’t throw rocks!), this stove comes with a cool design and lots of functionality added. Because, what can be nicer than enjoying a cup of coffee on the beach, I mean a fresh cup of hot coffee, powered by Trea, the premium…you know. This is the creation of an industrial designer based in Oslo, Norway, named Michael Konosky and this little…

Everybody knows what Mercedes is putting into their latest S-class will eventually land as optional equipment in your average car, about 10-15 years later. But will their latest Coupe, the S-class dictate what coupes will look, feel and act like from now on? [adsense300gray]Featuring headlamps with 47 Swarovski crystals, Russian oligarchs will surely appreciate this and will probably buy 2 identical ones because why not. But this feature won’t bring in big crowds of customers as will the all new Active curve tilting function – a new system that allows the car to lean into curves, much like Valentino Rossi does…

[adsense300gray]It’s back in black time folks, please say hello to ETQ’s Mid Top All Black Sneakers. Made of waxed nubuck leather and looking as cool as it gets, these sneakers come with ton sur ton leather, golden eyelets and a black (what else?) patted volcanic sole. This shoes will suit perfectly almost any outfit imaginable, ranging from a suit to a pair of jeans. Talking about versatility, ETQ is the name of the game. Wait, there’s more! For those of you who need that “Special” feeling, an “elite”, limited model will be available, featuring some fancy stingray leather, so keep…

This is the Original Friday Inspiration series – amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you to greatness. You have a full weekend ahead, so use it wisely and don’t waste your days of rest on resting! It’s been a while now since we had the idea to include a song at the beginning of the weekly Friday Inspiration, so you can browse it while listening to what we came up with for you. We’re ready to add it to the next week’s FI and we need your suggestions! So head over to the contact page and submit away – you can send us…

[adsense300gray]If you’re the globetrotter kind of person, or you have friends passionate about travelling, here comes the perfect gift for him/her : the Cork Globe from Suck UK (there’s no joke, that’s the real name of the website, figure that out!). With the Cork Globe, you’ll enjoy your “global” escapades even more, because you’ll have the possibility to pin-point your travels. And I mean that literally.  You can actually be able to stuck pins into the globe, in order to plan your future travels. Because that’s the whole gimmick of the Cork Globe, it allows you to visualize the places…

[adsense300gray]I don’t know about you guys, but I grew up fantasizing that one day, those cool Marshall speakers and amps from the rock-shows will be mine, oh mine. I hope you know what I’m talking about,  almost 100% of the professional equipment rock bands are/were using is/was Marshall; they’re like ubiquitous, you know what I mean? Well, today you can compensate for your sad, Marshall-less childhood with some cool “vintage looking” headphones. Yes, I am presenting you with the Marshall headphones. Featuring a fully collapsible construction and ultra soft ear cushions, the Marshall headphones are a delight for your audiophile…

This guy, going by the name October Jones on twitter has been using his seemingly boundless imagination and sticky notes to transform strangers on a train into hilarious cartoons characters that perfectly fit the rest of their body. The unwitting victims of his pranks have been given the features of beloved characters such as Batman, Spiderman, and, in one ingenious snapshot, Wile E. Coyote even appears…

[adsense300gray]Austrian artist Klemens Torggler is on everyone’s lips lately, as he’s the guy who managed to reinvent the door. There’s no point in explaining you how it works – for that we’ve added a GIF that will amaze yourself. The flip panel door as Klemens calls it is still a concept, but I’m pretty sure we’ll soon find cool replacements for the old door design on the market. You won’t need to tell people to shut the door behind them, they’ll happily do it anyway – a couple of times!

Just take a look at the new Victory Gunner Urban cruiser, now, that’s a bike folks!  Costing just $500 more than the cheapest motorcycle in the Victory lineup, the Gunner is built around the Freedom 106 engine and weighs 649 lb. Alright, I will not tease you anymore with the price tag: this baby can be yours for only $13,000 but believe me, if you’re a bike aficionado, this is the one for you. [adsense300gray]The best thing about the Gunner is that it’s made in the US of A, at Victory’s Spirit Lake in Iowa and it features a throwback…

The wait is over, because with Beep, you can sync your music all around the house, using your smartphone and an iOS or an Android app. It’s that easy. What, you didn’t get me, did you? What Beep? Well, say hi to the device which makes all your speakers wireless. How does it work, you asked? Well, all you have to do is to connect the gadget to your speakers/receivers/docks and after that, enter the password for your Wi-Fi via the smartphone app and voila, everything is set. With only a tap you can start your favorite music or change…

We love nature, but you already know that if you’re a Friday Inspiration follower. Walks, hikes, mountain biking, or any outdoor activity – you name it, we love it! It’s probably the second best connection you can have, after the inter-human relationships. So even before taking her to meet your parents, take her out and introduce her to nature. She might know it and love it, or she might not, either way – spend some time in the wilderness, just the two of you. You’ll get to see a part of her you can not see otherwise. Make a fire,…

There’s a war going on between brunettes and the blondes. Yeap, it’s going on since the beginning of civilization and the not so breaking news is nobody’s winning it! But if we were to pick a winner, that would definitely be the redheads. Especially the natural redheads. Now we’re not sure if it’s the fact that they’re so rare (roughly 2% of world population), but they all have that mysterious look, and we’re loving it.

[adsense300gray]Here comes another innovation for those of you who are passionate about home improvement : Suck UK (I know, I laughed too) brings you the BottleLight. If you ever wasted your time and visited the good’ol United Kingdom, you will understand the principle behind sucking, bottles and lights. Because, you know, these people have a passion for drinking hard and their homes are always full of empty bottles, with the life sucked out of them. Well, with the BottleLight you can transform your empty bottles into lamps and basically that sums up what the BottleLight gizmo is all about. It’s…

[adsense300gray]The Northern Icon Strates Desk is the creation of Mathieu Lehanneur and it represents the emulation of the child by the adult. I bet I lost you here. Well, if you had a real childhood, i.e. you were playing with real life toys like LEGO instead of playing mindless videogames all day long, well, then you know what I mean. This desk is a LEGO game for your inner adult. It allows you to build your own stuff and let your imagination run wild, because it consists of modules that can be arranged in any way you want. The building blocks themselves…

[adsense300gray]Meet Iris, the application that will change your life! Well, maybe I’m exaggerating ,but Iris is one cool app. Iris is your electronic servant, the application that gives you total control over your house, by remote. All you have to do is to install it on your smartphone or on your laptop/computer, and you’ll be able to adjust the lights or to control your security system or your house climate, to lock/unlock your doors/garage, you name it. Of course, you’ll have to install some smart gadgets around the house first, like a smart plug, a motion sensor, contact sensors, a…

[adsense300gray]The Woorock Hammock Swing is the best thing in the world since sliced bread and water beds. I really mean that folks! George Bechter (the designer/architect/inventor) did a hell of a job here, I bet he is the lazy kind of person. If you never tried a hammock before, you should know that the hardest part is to find a place for it. Sometimes, this can be quite frustrating. With this baby, after a hard day’s work, all you’ll have to do is find the perfect spot and that’s about it.  This hammock comes with its own “infrastructure”, sort of speak. Just…

[adsense300gray]If you’re the DSLR kind of person and you love taking high quality pictures while on the run, but you’re too lazy to carry around with you that uncomfortable lump of technology (the Nikon, I mean), well, the good news is that Moment is here for you. Moment, your best friend when it comes to taking cat pictures! With this awesome lens, you can transform your boring smartphone into something magic. Well, at least that’s what the guys behind Moment are saying (and keep in mind that they’re trying to raise money! ). Basically, what the Moment lens does is to sharpen/amplify/augment//whatever…

This is the Original Friday Inspiration series – amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you to greatness. You have a full weekend ahead, so use it wisely and don’t waste your days of rest on resting! In one of the photos below there’s a notebook with Note To Self written on it. That’s a pretty good idea to keep a journal. No, that’s not only for little girls – man can have such a habit as well. Write about the little things, note the field trip you took and what you’ve discovered or maybe write a poem. The world is full of inspiration,…

Let me show you one weird piece of furniture that resembles a stealth fighter.I may be wrong but that’s what it looks to me, a piece of furniture that mimics the design of an F 117  fighter airplane. [adsense300gray]Ji Delugre seems to be an interesting dude (actually, I hope it’s a dude, because with Asians you can never tell for sure, and certainly not from their names), at least if we’re judging him by his latest creation, the BUK sideboard. Made of solid oak and built to avoid radar when flying from your window, thrown on the sidewalk by your…

[adsense300gray]This weird looking gizmo on wheels is actually a motorbike, can you believe that? Even if it resembles one of Salvador Dali’s nightmares, the Otor Bike is actually as real as your next door Chinese neighbor. Living on the thin border line between a bicycle and a motorcycle, the Otor Bike is the creation of Oto Cycles , a Spanish company based in Barcelona, specialized in creating vintage looking bikes powered by high tech electrical engines. I hope you realize from the pictures that the Otor Bike means actually Rotor Bike, since it’s powered by a battery, not by that…

Andres Amador is a San Francisco-area based landscape artist. His works are pretty unique – he creates amazing sand paintings on beaches – huge sand paintings that is. His only tool is a rake and sometimes the collaboration of volunteers. “My dream is to do my artwork in locations around the world and to bring more people into the creative act with me,” says the artist. You can check out more of his work …

[adsense300gray]If you think you’ve seen it all, wait until you check this gizmo out, with the improbable name  of Sony 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector.  This state of the art multimedia monster was announced last month by the Japanese tech giant and it promises to change your life forever. With the Sony 4K Ultra, you can say goodbye to expensive plasma TV’s or LCD’s, because now each and every wall inside (or outside) of your house can be transformed into a high resolution display. The projector can display4K videos on surfaces of up to 147 inches wide, thus radically transforming your…

[adsense300gray]Say hello to  Wham-o Arctic Force, the snowball blaster that  can transform this cold and awful winter into something fun! I wish these things were around when I was a kid… Back in the day, all we had were snowballs and energy. Now, everything got high tech, even a snowball fight requires a gadget and batteries to power it. Well, to be honest with you,  this blaster that looks like something from Star Wars is built for 8 year old kids and up, but I think it is suitable for everybody whose  inner child is still alive and kicking. At…

This is the Original Friday Inspiration series – amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you to greatness. You have a full weekend ahead, so use it wisely – don’t waste your days of rest on resting! You don’t need to do big things. In fact, let’s talk about the little things. There are lots of situations in which a small change has a surprisingly large impact. So if you have a plan you can’t follow (gain/lose weight, build muscle, become rich etc.), just take a very small step towards that and keep repeating it. For example, if you are trying to exercise…

Real men not only survive the winter months, they own them and make them work in their favor. Be it an extra cold day, a light snow drizzle or a full-blown snowstorm complete with howling wind and falling chunks of ice, you have to be prepared to face it full-on. Like the man we know you are.

[adsense300gray]If you like movies, you must have seen The Remains of the Day, the essential butler movie, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson, among other folks. Speaking about butlers, say hello to the new-age butler, with the improbable name Keecker. It sounds like a gang-banger, but Keecker is actually a nice guy.  Basically, what we’re dealing with here is an Android based moving projector. A robot that will follow you around the house, bringing home entertainment to a whole new level. This real life R2D2 will transform every wall in your house into a huge screen, allowing you to check…

[adsense300gray]If you think you’ve seen them all, well, think again, because you’re pretty far from it. Just take a look at this funny looking Smeg refrigerator. Okay, and what about that weird design, resembling a cheap italian car from the 50’s ? Well, that’s the whole idea. If you’re into Italian cheap cars, why don’t you buy a refrigerator that looks like a vintage Fiat 500? At least that’s the concept. So, welcome Smeg, the little refrigerator that could. Have no fear, Smeg is a very efficient,  energy class A appliance, and it comes in either white, red or green…

If you’re the environmentalist type, you’ll surely enjoy this posting, because Plumen, that’s why! Plumen is a new company, the new kid on the block sort of thing, focused on providing the world with energy efficient lighting. Sounds almost Prometheic, don’t you think? Anyway, their approach is kind of cute, because their light bulbs look very interesting in terms of design, very different from your regular lighting device. Basically,Lumen is the new trend in lighting technology,

[adsense300gray]You read that right, Sprout is the pencil that will turn into a plant once you deplete it. All you need to do is plant it and pour some water – its innovative seed capsule in the tip will automatically get activated and a plant of your choice will start growing. The only downside is you can’t chew on its end of it while you’re in class, taking tests etc., or you’ll risk activating its capsule. But putting that aside, this pen is simply fantastic and it should be an example for all the manufacturers out there, in all fields…

[adsense300gray]I only put the pedal to the metal when I’m alone in my car, because I like to think I’m responsible. That’s also the case when I rent an ATV – if I ride alone, the mountains don’t have enough steep slopes for me to try. When I have someone else on it with me, I just cruise. So the point here is you only need a one seater to enjoy all the fun, and the Polaris Sportsman Ace is the perfect toy for that. It features a 4-Stroke ProStar engine that powers all the wheels on demand, plenty of…

We had a look into the big and wonderful world of DIY (do it yourself) and we selected six cool home improvement ideas for you to try do. They’re all decoration related projects that you can build extremely cheap and pretty fast. You’ll have a nice practical decoration to enjoy or show off plus you’ll get that unique feeling when you look at it – “I built that”. Not to mention the huge difference a handmade gift makes.

[adsense300gray]Maybe you were fooled by the name, but no, Lay/N/GO Traveler it’s not what you were thinking about and yes, you have a dirty mind. What you’re actually reading about has nothing to do with dubious morality, it’s all about a weird gizmo, a multipurpose bag like creature. What it actually does is to provide you with storage space for your small items when travelling, i.e. your toothbrush, sunglasses, cosmetics, guns and ammo, you got the picture. What makes it different from the variety of bags available on the market is that the Lay/N/Go Traveler opens up in a shape…

This is the Original Friday Inspiration series – amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you to greatness. You have a full weekend ahead, so use it wisely – don’t waste your days of rest on resting! I’m not saying you should go out and do stuff, even though that’s a pretty good idea! You can sit in your quiet area, read a book, contemplate, analyse, make plans maybe. Just sit back and let thoughts run through your mind – do a bit of day dreaming! Grab on to a thought and if it doesn’t lead anywhere, just let it slide, let it…

Who is she, who’s this chick, who’s this amazing creature – heard them all at the cinema when the stunning Margot Robbie stepped in at that pool party the Wolf was throwing. Her entrance is so hot, what Jonah Hill’s doing right in the next scene is not even that crazy. But hey, I’m not going to spoil the awesome movie for you if you haven’t seen it yet. All I’m saying is you should really see it, especially when the beautiful Australian here is throwing in all her weapons, if you know what I mean. We’ll surely see a lot more…

Here are some small yet very cosy and functional homes. You can buy some of them as you’ll see once you get that scroll rolling, you can rent others but the main point here is to inspire you. You might want such a lovely little house someday. Whether you plan on building it in the backyard, in the heart of the mountains, at the seaside it would make a wonderful getaway place. Somewhere where you can spend your weekends at, closer to the nature, away from the busy city life.

[adsense300gray]If you’re into winter sports but you’re a fan of vintage looking wearables, look no further because I have found the best thing for you and your ears : the Snow Foldable Helmet. Based on a best seller, i.e. the cycling foldable helmet, that was a major hit among city bikers, now you can benefit from the same cool  design and protection on the mountain slopes. The skiing version of the helmet, the Carrera Snow Foldable, will fit perfectly onto your head for maximum comfort and protection in any real life scenario. The design is futuristic with a touch of…

It’s still winter for us in the Northern Hemisphere, and while you might hate the cold weather or having to walk on melted snow, you’ve got to appreciate the magic of it and how it can transform an otherwise common street, market or square into an idyllic place. There’s nothing you can do to stop that heavy snow outside, so why not start enjoying it! Here are 20 wonderful winter photographs that might make winter your new favorite season!

[adsense300gray]Well, in my time, Nike used to make shoes, nice shoes, running shoes, no-nonsense shoes, if you know what I mean. Just go and see the movie Forrest Gump, you will understand what Nike used to be back in the day. Now, it’s 2014 and it looks to me that the company is trying to reinvent itself or their design team just discovered the benefits of LSD. At least,this is my theory after taking a close look at the Nike Aeroloft 800 Summit Jacket (sounds like a spaceship and looks like Alien skin) and the Lunarterra Arktos shoes. These things…

[adsense300gray]You know Babolat, those cool dudes specialized in sporting goods, especially tennis rackets and related stuff. Now, Babolat enters the high-tech age, with their Babolat Play app and the Play Pure Drive racket. You may ask, OK Chris, well, what’s the breaking news? Well, at least to me, this is the breaking news: now you can improve your tennis skills, with the special racket from Babolat and their uber-smart app. Basically, the Babolat Play Pure Drive looks like a regular racket, but it has some tiny sensors integrated into the handle that will give you access to tons of information…

Welcome to the Original Friday Inspiration Series! If it’s your first time here, you’ll love it, we promise! If you’re a regular, sorry for not posting much this week, we’re moving into a new, awesome office and it’s taking longer than we expected. Happily, we managed to pull another adventurous inspiration collection for your enjoyment. Stay classy, stay curious, stay smart!

[adsense300gray]Every now and then, I see people using their DSLR’s in the weirdest places but with MaxStone’s gadget, you will be able to add the cool factor into play. What this pebble like device is doing is letting you control your DSLR by remote using a tiny gadget and a dedicated app, which connects via Bluetooth to your smart cam. Oh, and of course, turning your iPhone into a wireless remote , allowing you to control the shutter with it, from distance. Cool, huh? It works with basically all types of cameras, like Nikon, Canon, Olympus, Pentax, Sony, Minolta, Samsung…

This is the Original Friday Inspiration series – amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you to greatness. On my usual daily commute, each Friday I pass by a weekly fishing market. People all ages gather to have a look, try some new fishing gear, but mostly to talk about their common passion. Probably share fishing trips stories, new places to launch the hook in, stuff they’ll do over the weekend. I’m not a big fishing fan, but I know that’s a pretty popular hobby. That’s not the point. The point is these people invest time into their passion, and that’s wonderful! It’s…

When Toyota Tacoma meets DC Shoes fans, what can go wrong? The answer is simple : nothing, everything just got awesome. Toyota asked DC Shoes fan base to vote their favorite snow, motocross or skateboarding design for the sport version of the Toyota Tacoma pick-up truck and the result was the wintery Tacoma, a concept car that was presented at the SEMA show last November. The Tacoma concept was brought to life by Camburg Engineering and it was inspired by the ideas from professional snowboarders; so, it includes a strong snowplow in the front, a telescopic ramp for loading a…

For the narcissists, Shapify.me is the best thing ever invented, since the secondary camera on smartphones. Artec Group took the “selfie” one step further, with this state of the art technology, that uses your Kinect to produce a perfect replica of yourself, a 3D selfie, sort of speak; YOU, the action-figure, made of plastic, courtesy of Shapify. Sounds pretty cool, huh? [adsense300gray]How does this work? Easy as pie. All you have to do is to download the app and connect Kinect sensor. After that, you can scan yourself using the app/Kinect and voila, you can order your own 3D printed figurine.…

[adsense300gray]If you need a warm and cozy blanket for those unpleasantly cold days, look no further, because I just found the best blanket in the world. Say hello to Rumpl, the ultimate blanket, the alpha and omega, this is what Amundsen used when he explored the North Pole (or was it South pole?). Whatever, this blanket was designed by a team of specialist who loved outdoors and comfort, in the same time. They took the inspiration for the Rumpl after they were amazed about how good those puffy jackets were in sub zero temperatures. And, they decided to create a…

Crave’s the word. It’s how Ashley Sky’s fans feel each day they visit any of her social media profiles – and she has them all covered, from Tumblr and Twitter to Facebook, Instagram and yes she also has a Youtube channel. Ashley is a Brazilian-born, 32-22-34, sexy swimsuit and lingerie model. She reached the sky once someone from Kanye’s crew hit her up about a music video for Otis (featuring Jay Z). She has some brief appearances in the clip, but that and her photos she shares on the above mentioned accounts got the ball rolling. So here she is, Ashley…

Let me tell you something folks: don’t you think that two handles on a watch are a little bit too much of a hustle and overrated? I mean, who needs a regular watch, after all? It’s way too mainstream. Hence, let me show you something different, for a change : say hi to the Minuteman, the One Hand Watch! What makes this little guy stand out from the crowd is the fact that’s almost impossible to tell the exact time when looking at it. At least, in the beginning; given time, you will accommodate to the lack of the regular…

[adsense300gray]If you’re obsessed about music, like yours truly, you will understand why I am hyper-excited to show you the latest gimmick from Geek Pulse! Well, gone are the days of vinyl disks, audio-cassettes and  CD’s. Even if some of us are still hanging tight to their hard-copy music collection, we all know deep down inside that we’re relics and also Luddites.  Because, modern technology and the mp3 or Flac format killed the Audio CD, just like the CD killed the vinyl disk and so on. Well, if you have a Hi-Fi sound system and you store your music digitally on…

[adsense300gray]Take a look at this weird looking bike, and then take a look again. Isn’t this beautiful? I mean , it may look like a bike from Mad Max, that classic dystopian movie from the 80’s. But, with Low, Down, & Shifty, mechanics meets art and the end result is a very interesting piece of retro-engineering, if I may use that word I just made up. The Low, Down, & Shifty is based on a vintage motorcycle from 1974 (older than I am), a Yamaha XS650 that was upgraded and modified heavily. For example, the front of the bike is…

There’s been a trend lately when it comes to creating convertible and multifunctional backpacks and the Vamoose Jacket is yet another brick in the wall, sort of speak. Because, with one of these babies, you get two for the price of one. I mean, the Vamoose is originally a waterproof jacket, but it can be turned into a day pack with a flick of a switch. Actually, it’s a little bit more complicated than flicking a switch, but you got the idea, I hope. Made of three layers, the jacket comes with a huge external pocket, that makes you look…

Take a trip around the globe to see how people celebrated the new year – with fireworks. This year’s absolute winner in fireworks is Dubai, setting a new Guinness World Record for the largest pyrotechnics show. The total cost was a cool $6 million, took 10 months to plan, was controlled by a a network of 100 computers and included 500,000 fireworks. The photo above is what people in Rio de Janeiro saw on the sky – night swimming and fireworks is definitely something that’s worth doing between the years.

People nowadays seem to be eager to reinvent everything. Things that once upon a time, we took for granted. Like, let’s say, the tie bar. Really now, what can you change about a regular, old school tie bar? Well, Ellsworth & Clyde have another view about life and especially about how a  Tie Bar should be like, so they came up with this apparently new concept of tie bar, which differs from the regular mass-produced by huge industrial robots (or maybe millions of Chinese androids) ones. Don’t get excited, there’s no Bluetooth kit attached to this new tie bar, it’s not…

Spotter is a gadget that can be best described as your own, personal Big Brother, without the creepy part. What Spotter does is taking care of your home when you’re away, as simple as that. Using smart technology, this little gadget is capable of monitoring everything on your premises, like sound, light, motion, temperature, humidity, and everything on the tip of your fingers, from your mobile device.

First of all, Happy New Year! Thank you for all your emails and messages, for all your kind words and your criticism, thank you for being a part of HisPotion! We’ll all become better men in 2014, enjoy cool, smart stuff, beautiful women and a whole lot of inspiration! Now let’s make a proper step in 2014 with the beautiful January Jones. Not only because the name-month words game but because we’re all Mad Men from time to time and we all dream of being an X-Men sometimes.

Meet Lotu. No, that’s not his real name, but that’s not the point here – he wants his blog readers to reflect on themselves not on him. Lotu quit his investment banker dream job on Wall Street and everything that came with it – lots of money, limo rides etc. Why? Because he wanted to enjoy life, and no, working 16 hours per day isn’t exactly the life, is it? He’s now enjoying the Lifestyle of the Unemployed, taking some freelance projects from time to time to keep him rolling (money-wise). Read the interview below. I’m not saying it will…

Victorinox is one of those legendary brands that made my childhood worth living. I am referring to the Swiss army knife, that beautiful folding knife we all know and love. Lately, Victorinox diversified their portfolio and started their own line of time pieces, built with the same attention to detail, high end materials and craftsmanship. Enter the Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono Classic 1/100th, one beautiful chronograph watch, one of the coolest watches released in 2013. That, of course, in my humble opinion, don’t start throwing eggs! This Chrono Classic features an unique design and its purpose is to be a…

There’s nothing sexy about your plain wall calendar, so we thought you’d want to check out and win an exclusive line of implied nude calendars for the year 2014! A select group of Hollywood stars, models and Playboy Playmates have posed for a 2014 pin-up calendar. The following bombshells have released their own calendar with hot photos of themselves on every page: Joanna Krupa, Carmen Electra, Jessa Hinton, Barbie Blank, Donna Feldman, Irina Voronina, Jaclyn Swedberg, Jasmine Dustin, Leeann Tweeden, Masha Lund, Nikki Leigh, Tiffany Toth, Raquel Pomplun, Gemma Lee Farrell, Bonnie-Jill Laflin. [note_box]Here’s what you have to do: 1. Comment below and ask…

These high class sneakers are the love child resulted from the collaboration of two companies   from New Zealand : the footwear brand Tobe and the other , named Simpleton (yeah, I laughed too), being a young Wellington design firm. The end result was Simpler Times, a trendy line of unisex sneakers,a high quality piece of footwear that comes with a hefty price tag, but it looks like it was made in Heaven or something. These babies were intended to be “affordable but still exclusive”, whatever that means. The manufacturing process was focused on local resources and kept as simple as possible, all…

Airtame is the best gift for Christmas a geek could ever receive. I mean, really. This is maybe the most beautiful HDMI dongle in the whole wide world. And if you don’t know what HDMI is, stop reading now and take a look at the pretty pictures. For those of you who are grinning, keep reading! Well, the “new and improved” Airtame is actually a complete redesign of the old wireless HDMI dongle from the Danish company, combining sexy looks with open source and power performance, for the ultimate in wireless technology. What Airtame does is to connect your PC/Laptop…

We’re always mixing cool, awesome with practical stuff here on HisPotion. The cool, awesome and beautiful here is Simona Starkute, a Lithuanian supermodel. The practical part is you’ll like Simona so much you’ll take your time to search the small European country on map. That’s a plus to your geography knowledge! She appeared on the Lithuanian Playboy’s cover, she sleepwalks naked and she gets hit on a lot, but you’ll find out much more in the interview below.

The Neptune Pine smartwatch represents the future of wearable gadgets, mark my words folks. What other smartwatches released until now failed to achieve, the Neptune Pine delivers. Regular smartwatches, like the Gear from Samsung, are hardly stand alone devices. They are like sidekicks for your phone and they only are optimized to work with a certain type/brand of smartphone. [adsense300gray]Well, the Neptune Pine is that kind of “one size fits all”, being actually more than  a watch, but a full-options Android running smartphone, compatible with all Android apps out there, squeezed in a smartwatch form/factor. You can use it as…

From now on, you can stream music everywhere with the IUI Design Mirror BoomBox Union Jack. It sounds like a fancy name, but in fact things are very simple. Basically, what we have here is a portable music device, with a cool design and lots of features, especially created for those of you with a soft spot for English anthems, like Mini (the car brand) and the Union Jack. It’s a smooth marketing approach, if you ask me. The boom-box’s  design resembles a car mirror (a Mini,  obviously) and its features are pretty impressive: for just $149, you will receive a Bluetooth/NFC compatible…

Born in Pittsburgh in 1953, Peter Stanick is a pretty badass American artist, known through his many exhibitions and interesting art style. We had a few questions for him, so here you go. A little more information on the artist you probably didn’t know about but are glad you do now. When did you first decide that pop art was the thing for you? Peter Stanick: I never made a decision to pursue Pop art, it was part of the natural process. To me, the things that we interact with on a daily basis are the most interesting sources of subject matter.…

With only around a week until Christmas, we’re all stumbling around trying to figure out the best gifts for our friends and family. Since we all have the bearded, flannel-shirt-wearing, wood-chopping, overall rugged beast in our lives, here’s a nice little list of gift ideas for the outdoorsman.

Here comes another cool accessory for your MacBook, the Hard Graft Laptop Folio Heritage. This beautiful protective folio is hand made in Italy, from vegetable tanned  Italian leather dyed in wooden drums for at least 9999 years (just kidding folks) and the design is simply breathtaking. The folio is big enough to protect your MacBook in its main compartment , and comes with additional storing space (a wool pocket) for your notepad, iPad, iPhone,  charger, your cables, I think you got the general idea. It closes with a smooth nylon zipper, so your precious belongings are safe from harm’s way and the fine details are made…

[adsense300gray]Here comes another cool gadget for iPhone or iPad users. God must love Apple, mark my words! Well, The Impossible Instant Lab is the ultimate toy if you’re passionate about photography. The gadget is designed to harbor perfectly your iPhone or iPad inside its guts, and use it in a professional manner, as an old school Polaroid,  or something, without the use of complicated settings, controls, buttons and the like. With this gizmo, you can immortalize your favorite pictures taken with your iPhone, instead of burying them in some folder. Basically, with the Impossible Instant Lab you will be able to print…

Don’t waste your two days of rest on resting, and as always,  stay classy, stay curious, stay smart!

[adsense300gray]In ancient times, glass makers were using this “organic blown” procedure to make glass on regular basis. Organic blown is just a fancy term used to describe an ancient technique : basically, you blow air through a pipe into a piece of ultra-hot melted glass and thus you  make a bubble out of it. Well, fancy terms or fancy marketing, the end result is pretty cool. If you have $300 to spend on “organic” glass pendants, here’s the one for you. Blown by an actual human being and protected by a metallic wire frame, you can use these pendants around the house and be the coolest…

The TuneLink Home is the ultimate gadget when it comes to connecting/syncing your home audio appliances. It works via Bluetooth and it’s basically an universal remote control for your smart devices, such as iPod,iPod Touch, iPhone or any Android running gizmo. This is a complete solution for all your needs, because it functions both as an wireless audio link and a remote control for your multimedia devices. Obviously, all these smart devices controlled via the TuneLink home can be synced with your main sound system, so you can listen on your home hi-fi speakers your audio files from your iPhone. How…

Check out Nike’s latest Tier Zero Release, made possible with a little help from Fox Brothers of Somerset England. I know it’s a little bit cold outside folks, but take a look at this classic Nike Destroyer Jacket. In my book, this is a must have item, with those tan leather sleeves and Fox Bros wool fabric, the quintessential English jacket. The pockets are also accented with the same tan leather, for an overall stunning result. [adsense300gray]Besides this “as cool as it gets” jacket, the Tier Zero Release also brings you the Air Magma and the Dunk Hi. And no, that’s not…

LEGO is well renowned for its Architecture series, released over the years, perfectly capable of recreating very accurately  famous buildings from all over the world . Now, with the Architecture Studio, you can unleash your creativity wild. Your regular LEGO box set consists of colored blocks of plastic and detailed instructions, which, if followed step by step, will allow you to build with your own hands and mad skills the structure pictured outside of the box. [adsense300gray]But, things are very different with the Architecture Studio. Unlike your pre-set/pre-determined childhood LEGO, this one will allow you to build your own-custom made pyramid, sort of…

Ok, so we have smartphones, smart watches, smart TVs, smart lighting, what’s next? Well, one ring to rule them all, one ring to bind them, one ring to control everything, in short the Smarty Ring. If checking out your smartphone 100 times a day is annoying you(also a sure sign you’re addicted to Facebook and you have no life), with Smarty you can forget about that. This ring will save you the trouble, because it’s designed to bring all your mobile alerts on the tip of your finger. Literally. [adsense300gray]This gadget works in tandem with any smart device, like a…

The Snow Wolf is a must-have tool to keep around you this time of the year, because it’s the next best thing since sliced bread when it comes to making your life easier. This baby eats snow like there’s no tomorrow. As you can figure out for yourself from the title, the Snow Wolf is basically a snow shovel with a wheel attached. Nothing fancy, nothing high tech, but it works like a dream if you’re confronted with large amounts of snow. And, it does the job three times faster than a regular shovel. I don’t know about you, but to me,…

Some of us have found paradise in religion or in doing something meaningful. As for me, I think Paradise is here, on Earth. More precisely, in Bora Bora, in French Polynesia. Really, this is paradise on Earth, I have never seen something more beautiful and more inspiring than these great outdoors, God’s gift to his children. The water here looks like Venetian crystal, it is blue and pure, there are actually dozens of shades of blue, varying from pale turquoise to deep blue. Wherever you go, you are surrounded by water and if you want to get the most of…

Lumio is the next step in lighting technology, a modern magic lamp which brings you infinite possibilities of using it. I know, sounds like corporate marketing, but that’s the truth. It looks just like a regular book, but when unfolded, magic starts to happen, because it’s a multi purpose lamp that can be used in any way imaginable. Even if the package is pretty small, Lumio provides a huge amount of light, easily available because it’s cordless, lightweight and compact, just like a medium sized book. When necessary, it can be unfolded, hence is adaptable to a multitude of uses,…

[adsense300gray]Now folks, let me show you how rich people are  having fun. Because, as you may already know, rich people are different from us. While you may enjoy spending your free time at the beach, rich people bathe in money. Literally. And, if you’re rich and eccentric, this is the perfect gift for you : a Swiss bank safe with tons of money in it. I repeat : up for sale, is a 1912 Swiss Deposit Box, filled with coins. So, when you’re feeling lonely, you might just go, take a  swim in money and feel resurrected. This Swiss bank…

[adsense300gray]If you’re the eco type and you’re into Elves and wooden stuff, I have the perfect gadget for you : the Click Message Clock from Ginko. This is the kind of clock uncle Geppetto would have made for his son Pinocchio, the hipster version. I am saying that because the Click Message Clock looks like a block of wood, yet it’s perfectly capable of displaying(or to “float”, whatever) the time, date and temperature plus a customizable personal message on a wood block. How cool is that folks? A wooden watch with a wooden display? Sounds like magic. Well, these are…

[adsense300gray]The  Roof-Top Tent from Treeline Outdoors is the perfect solution for the urban dweller who doesn’t have or doesn’t want to have space for a camper or a tent/trailer/RV, yet it is addicted to comfort. As the name suggests, the Roof Top Tent is exactly what it says it is:  a very easy to carry around, take down and install tent, that uses your car as a foundation when deployed, or something(just take a look at the pictures, you will understand what I mean). This tent is made of poly/cotton and since it is harbored on the top of your car,…

[adsense300gray]The Goldee Light Controller is one cool invention I was expecting for a long time now. Another futile gimmick you may say, but you’d be dead wrong. Well, to explain it in laymen’s terms, it’s basically a smart box which controls the lighting inside your house. It may not sound like much, but once you grasp the concept, you will love it. Goldee functions as a smart alarm, making the lights bright in the morning, the best way to wake up, via Sunrise alarm. Another cool function is Smart off, which turns off the lights when you’re not around. Logically,…

[adsense300gray]Have you ever dreamed about controlling the rain? Like the dudes from Avatar (The Last Airbender, not the James Cameron one we’re all trying our best to forget.) Well in case you didn’t know, there’s a room specifically designed with this purpose in mind – letting you, the common visitor, feel like you’re in control of the best element of all: water. The rain room offers a weird kind of intimacy between you, technology and nature, allowing for a very interesting and intimate scenario in which you can contemplate and meditate in peace (along with nine other people.) Keep in…

[adsense300gray]If you have deep pockets and you’re a fan of Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece Full Metal Jacket, this Jeep Wrangler is the car for you. Trust me, I’m a cinephile and I love cars. Jeep Wrangler is already an iconic vehicle, it saw action in World War 2 and since, in all action movies imaginable. The Starwood Motors Full Metal Jacket Jeep Wrangler is an actual beast, coming from Dallas Texas and featuring a custom made suspension kit, Kevlar panels and it’s armored, being basically bullet proof. So, if you’re a drug dealer or you just like to cruise dangerous neighborhoods, well,…

[adsense300gray]For all iPhone lovers out there, a new toy was born for you to play with. Say hello to the AUUG Motion Synth, the latest gizmo that transforms your iPhone (or iPod for that matter) into a new-age musical instrument. This cool gadget will allow you to play notes at your iPhone using touch and modulate them by moving your smartphone. I know, it sounds like magic, almost. Basically, what the Motion Synth does is creating music through motion. Sound is created by tracking your movements and your screen touches by the AUUG Motion Synth, hence giving you the opportunity to express…

[adsense300gray]The well known watch maker Nixon just unveiled their latest collection, entitled Industrial Craft, which is basically a tribute/homage to the craftsmanship of industrial gear and work wear. The whole concept behind the Industrial Craft Collection is that real truth is in the history, and it must be revealed by this vintage influenced/work wear inspired watch collection. There are six watches in the Industrial Craft collection : October, 51-30 Chrono, Rover SS,  Corporal SS,Sentry SS, and Deck. What makes these watches different from other collections, besides their unique design, are the materials used, i.e. matte black and industrial green, representing the unifying characteristics…

With December almost here, we bet you’ve been mulling over what to get your loved ones for the holidays. We all have that crazy coffee addict in our lives, so why not make theirs easier and happier with one of these seven cool ideas?

[adsense300gray]Beware of the beast, because Wall of Sound 2.0, the ultimate iPhone speaker was released on the market. If you are the audiophile type and you’re also an iPhone lover, just take a look at the Wall of Sound speakers, built especially for Apple products. This is actually the second generation of the WOS, now bigger, better, faster, more (Expensive, nota bene). To paraphrase a well known commercial, WOS 2.0 is not only the biggest iPhone speaker around, but it could be the biggest speaker in the world. I’m just saying, but the weight on this baby is an impressive…

This is our Friday Inspiration series! Most of you guys (and ladies) love it, and it means the world to us, it gives us great pride and we absolutely love working on this, doing our best to make each new one even better than the previous.

Have an amazing weekend! Stay classy, stay curious, stay smart!

People say she’s the perfect combination of Sophia Loren and Angelina Jolie, but once you’ll watch Madalina Diana Ghenea’s photo gallery below, you’ll understand she’s in a league of her own. The Romanian beauty started modeling at the age of 15, walked the catwalks and worked with big brands like Peroni, New Yorker, La Perla and Love Republic – where she replaced the world famous Naomi Campbell. She recently started acting, and you can see in her latest movie, Dom Hemingway featuring Jude Law.

If you’re a book lover, you’ll absolutely adore the following places – hidden, weird and just a little bit quirky, our list of unconventional little (or big) bookstores will make you pack up your bags and visit all of them. Make sure to pack an extra suitcase; you know, for all the books you’ll end up buying.

If you were wondering what’s the world most expensive car, I bet you’d be thinking about Bugatti Veyron, but you’d be dead wrong. That’s because Lamborghini decided to take the crown from VAG group’s spoiled baby (I am referring to Bugatti, obviously) and released the Kraken, I mean the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster. As you would expect from Lamborghini, the Vereno Roadster is a Saudi’s prince wet dream, it has the looks and the price tag to impress those of you who are fond of material things and in love with automotive engineering.

[adsense300gray]If you’re into sports and you enjoy riding your bicycle, you may find yourself pretty annoyed by those ugly and uncomfortable helmets, which are intended to protect your precious brain in case of an impact, or something like that. You know, when that nice dude opens the car door right in front of you, I bet it happened to you at least once, if you’re a die-hard biker like yours truly. Well, two Swedish chicks spent seven years (not in Tibet, by all means), inventing an airbag for your head. That’s the Hövding, Airbag for Cyclists, in a nutshell: unlike…

[adsense300gray]A new pair of awesome boots from Helly Hansen, the famous Swedish brand, have been released on the wild wild market. The Garibaldi D-Ring boots are strong, warm and stylish all rolled into one neat package of winter gear. Note: to be used both in the city and on treks through the snow-covered mountains and forests of your dreams. Insulated with faux white fur and mostly made out of natural materials, these boots are a combination of nylon, leather, waterproof leather and a protective rubber welt. The outsole is cold-resistant and fitted with the patented Helly Grip, made to offer you the…

[adsense300gray]If I may paraphrase something from one of my favorite movies, if you like women and money, just like I do, we should hang out, don’t you think? Well, we should hang out, grab a cup of coffee and take a closer look at one of the world’s most famous magazines, that kind of magazine that made my childhood beautiful and revealed the mystery of the tribe called girl. Obviously, I am referring to Sports Illustrated, Swimsuit edition. This is not your ordinary copy of the magazine, but the “50 years of beautiful” edition, can you imagine that? It’s the…

[adsense300gray]Pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of stainproof pants! Even though the Kickstarter funding period has ended recently, you can rest assured that it was funded and these pants will become reality sooner than you think. More durable than jeans and stain repellent? Sign us up for a few pairs. Not to mention that they’re so versatile they can be worn at the office as well as out on hiking trips. The risk of spilling coffee on yourself on a Monday morning at the office is as high as getting down and dirty on a mountain trail. Better be prepared all the time.…

[adsense300gray]Revo SuperConnect is the next generation audio-device, the alpha and omega in terms of engineering philosophy and industrial design. Form meets function, ten years of excellence in product design and development, the whole nine yards. At least, that’s what they are claiming, that’s the marketing propaganda. To me, the SuperConnect looks like my grandfather’s radio from the 50’s or something, that kind of gear you’re buying from a gypsy in the flea market. But wait a minute, don’t let this retro-look deceive you. Under the vintage design, lies a high tech beast, capable of delivering you with the latest and the greatest in audio…

My office is pretty neat and organized ..if I’m expecting visitors. But yea, mostly it’s pretty messy – and that’s the gadgets’ fault. There’s to many devices and tools I need in the reach of my arms on my desk. If you’re like me, you’ll surely enjoy this cool little list of solutions to keep your stuff well organized at your workplace.

[adsense300gray]Nobody can be told what der Ziesel is, you have to see it for yourself. Or, read the article, captain Obvious! Well, long story short, der Ziesel is a weird looking offroad machine, combining efficiency and fun in the German (well, maybe Austrian, same thing) engineering way. It looks like a piece of gear from a Science Fiction movie, to be honest, but looks can be deceiving, as my Grand Father used to say when he first saw a Camel at the Zoo. Even elves love der Ziesel, because it’s electrically powered by two small engines, so it’s as environmentaly friendly as it…

This is our Friday Inspiration series! Most of you guys (and ladies) love it, and it means the world to us, it gives us great pride and we absolutely love working on this, doing our best to make each new one even better than the previous.

[adsense300gray]Ryan Pendleton is the genius behind all Quirky products and Nimbus is one of his latest inventions. As Ryan claims, this gadget was created under the influence of “real people” like me and you and it was based on an alarm clock which worked with the help of an external application. But things got more complicated than a regular alarm clock and that’s how Nimbus, the smart dashboard came to life. Basically, Nimbus is a day-to-day helper, that allows you to keep track of your chores. It features a highly customizable  4-dial dashboard that will let you know all the…

[adsense300gray]Here comes Coin, the one card to rule them all. I know, it sounds dubious, how can you say that the Coin is a card to rule all cards? Well, it’s not my fault, I didn’t came up with the name. Nevertheless, this is actually a pretty cool gadget, I can relate with the hype around it. What does it do, how does it work? Well, simply brilliant. I bet you hate the fact that you have to carry around all sorts of credit/debit cards in your wallet. Well, with the Coin, carrying more than one credit card around is…

[adsense300gray]Say hello to gadget independence! This is made possible by Bolt – the world’s smallest portable iPhone USB wall charger with an included 3000mAh rechargeable battery, making sure you don’t run out of power when it matters the most. With a nice sleek design, Bolt can be carried anywhere and everywhere, giving your smartphone up to two full charges until it needs a recharge itself. It’s not much but it’s a start. Classy and ultra portable, Bolt comes in a smooth rubberized finish and three color options so that you can alternate according to your outfit or mood or whatever else.

Bandit9′s Nero MkII bike is the creation of Daryl Villanueva, who owns a workshop based in Beijing, China. That’s far out and a no-go to many people, because Made in China is nothing to write home about. Especially when it comes to cars and motorcycles. But, let’s not judge hastily. Daryl was born in Philippines, raised in Hong Kong and was schooled in Australia and Malaysia, I mean come on, this is a cosmopolite guy, as good as it gets. And his bikes are China made, but that’s just a minor detail. The motorcycles are of high quality and the…

[adsense300gray]As the cold season descends upon us as suddenly and unexpectedly as the Perseids in August, we humble smartphone owners start dreading the customary removal of the gloves in order to tap that screen (pun intended.) Which is why we were so incredibly glad to hear that there is now an alternative to freezing our precious fingers off. The leather crochet touchscreen gloves by Mujjo are perfect for screen-swiping in below 0 temperatures.

Well, Jetovator sounds like a made-up name from kid’s cartoons. Hell no, it’s very real, and it’s coming to get you! If you’re into water sports, you will understand what’s all about : a cool accessory used to produce huge amounts of fun if you’re crazy enough to use such a devilry. [adsense300gray]All you need to become famous at the beach is a PWC(that’s a personal watercraft or a boat, as my grandfather used to say) and the Jetovator, and voila. You’ll be able to fly riding a hose over the water like a sea-witch. This fly-on-water ride works by…

[adsense300gray]Let’s talk a little about a company called Diemme Footwear. I bet you did not know that Diemme is an universal dish, a cosmopolite company. What I’m trying to say is that Diemme’s Black Kevlar Roccia Vet Boot is the love child of an Italian footwear manufacturer (Calzaturificio Diemme, how about THAT for a name!), a Norwegian design company (Blender Agency, I bet they make great cocktails!), a Japanese design/sales company(GMT Tokyo) and a Swedish distributor (MnO International). It’s kind of weird, I used to think that shoes are not something that requires an intercontinental joint venture, but I am wrong,…

That room or space many of us use as a relaxation area, the attic can also be used as your home office slash workspace. Because it’s up there, and it’s said to be a great place to get creative in, and it has that kind of appeal. A normal room just can’t compete with the magic of an attic.

[adsense300gray]If you’re an Apple fan and you own a MacBook, just take a look at the unique backlit designs offered by Uncovermac. What Uncovermac actually does is using the backlit logo on your MacBook, actually that tiny backlight which is there by default, a light panel located behind the laptop’s screen and used to illuminate the Apple logo. These guys from Uncovermac will remove(if you want) the Apple logo and replace it with whatever you like. This solution is so simple and ingenious, it’s a shame I didn’t think of that in the beginning. So, you can have your own-custom…

[adsense300gray]The BookBook Travel Journal is just a fancy name for a regular leather case, made especially for Apple products. It’s basically a briefcase, large enough to harbor an iPad or a MacBook, but its very nice design makes it look like a regular “vintage” book. Obviously, the BookBook is fully compatible with most Apple products, like the iPad Air, iPad mini and the iPad.

The Leatherman Charge TTI is another great product from the American company, well known for its vast range of multi-tool products. We can safely say that the  Leatherman Charge TTI is a premium product, combining some of the most sought after features in only one, multi-functional tool.

[adsense300gray]The  Leatherman Charge TTI weighs 232…

[adsense300gray]Timex, the world-renowned watch maker, recently released a new series of watches, the Intelligent Quartz Linear Chronographs. As most Timex watches, this line represents a nice blend of affordable and yet pretty cool time pieces. The Intelligent Quartz series comes with nice gimmicks like altimeters and compasses, and despite these nerdish functions, they still look pretty good. The Linear Chronograph line takes a different approach in order to display the chronograph function of the watch, in a unique way. Instead of the classical bi or tri compax layout of round sub-dials, as the name suggests, the Linear Chronograph uses a…

I know a bunch of people who keep lists with the things they want to do in the following years or at least for once in their lifetime. I think that we all have a list like that, even if we keep it in our minds and don’t write down our wishes. Well, one of the things from my to-do list is enjoying a great experience on The Yacht Week, which is the greatest party and sailing event in the world. I don’t actually know anybody that went there, but someone gave me a link with some sort of a…

[adsense300gray]You can instantly recognize a bike made by those cool dudes from DP Customs, and by all means, their Racer is continuing that tradition with flying colors. The DNA in those DP bikes is still obvious in their latest creation. The racer is running on a 1200 cc Evo engine, powered by dual plug heads and inspired from  the Brabham BT 44 bike, featuring a Martini Racing livery. The handle bars of the motorcycle were lowered, in order to put the gas tank in the front, and they also created a filter cover, just like the one in the roof scoops…

Because it’s Monday, and we’re all working in a way or another. In the internet/computer era, most of us work at a desk, holding a mouse and looking through this great artificial window – the monitor. But what happens when you look to its left or its right, or above it? It shouldn’t be all about that window, you should surround yourself and your workspace with things that matter to you, that inspire you, that makes you more creative or relaxes you. Here are 24 office inspirations and a famous musician’s workspace.

Are you into skiing ? How about snowboarding ? Or maybe you love both ? In any case, if you’re planning on going in a vacation for enjoying the beauty and benefits offered by snow, surely you’ll need something for carrying your skis and/or snowboard. And other stuff. In that case, you don’t have to worry about carrying them around along with your other things, because I have the perfect solution for keeping your things together in an elegant and extremely practical way: the Douchebag! No, this is not a joke, I’m really talking about a bag called that way.…

TGIFI! Thank God it’s Friday Inspiration. And here we are, one week into November, the no-shave month of manliness and crisp weather, in which all that extra facial hair will not only keep your face warm, but will most definitely attract the girl of your dreams. You mountain man, you. It’s that time of year again, when we all wear ugly sweaters and grab those leather gloves out of their storage box because hey, it’s getting too cold to drive without appropriate protection between us and the wheel. So brew the hell out of that cinnamon spice latte and breathe…

[adsense300gray]Always a treat, the highest paid supermodel and still the best supermodel nowadays in our humble opinion, Gisele Bundchen joined the band of the year a.k.a. Wall Street Journal’s Entertainment Innovator of the year – Daft Punk. And when you add photographer Terry Richardson to the mix, you know we’ve got something pretty special. Did we mention how much we love Gisele? Anyway, here’s this week’s hottest photoshoot in the media. And just a friendly reminder/recommendation before the cool photos – go listen to Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories album! And then give it another listen, because yeah, it’s so…

[adsense300gray]If you enjoy exploring the great outdoors every once in a while and you also take your friends or family (or both) with you, you’re sure going to like what I have to show you. Forget all about your old, uncomfortable tents and sleep like a king in the Safari Tent, which offers you 120 square feet of space for sleeping and hanging around when the weather isn’t too friendly. If you were searching for one tent to rule them all, well, you’ll just love this baby. It has a Cordura outer skin (floor and shell) which is weatherproof and…

[adsense300gray]If you’re thinking about how boring your lawn looks, don’t buy silly looking dwarfs and stuff like that to animate it. What if you had a Grass Printer ?

Because it is able to make all kinds of drawings on your lawn, this way giving the impressions that you’ve been recently visited by aliens or something like that. Using this nice device is quite easy: it has a touchscreen and all you have to do is to design your desired image…

The legitimate question is “what the Hell is a Wazuma”? Well, to be blunt, the WAZUMA V8F MATT EDITION is the beast with two backs, half car, half motorcycle, half Godzilla. It’s Bat-Man’s nightmare. Or, you can say it’s the best of two worlds: a 250 bhp and 650 kg melange of German, Japanese and Italian engineering. The alpha and omega, with a twist of Delta. The ultimate boy-toy. I know, it doesn’t make sense, you think I’m blabbering. And the weirdest thing of all, this hybrid of three schools of engineering is put together by the French from Lazareth; the…

[adsense300gray]A visit to London is never complete until you try the famously traditional fish and chips combo from Kerbisher & Malt, one of the best fish and chips shops around. If When you go there, make sure you order a side of Chippy sauce as well, the delicious vinegar-based sauce that was literally made for fish and chips. The entire place is designed to appeal to your minimal tastes and love for fresh and open spaces, with chairs that read [have a seat] and simple, diner-like tables illuminated by over-sized light-bulbs. The menu is written on the wall, for easier…

Despite the fact that there are many forms of classical glasses taken as the standard, designers were not impressed and decided to add novelty to wine tasting. We had a look into the beautiful but small world of wine glasses, and we selected 11 best and most unconventional of them.

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love thunderstorms. They’re epic and I’ve always considered them one of the most beautiful, but also a bit creepy things offered to us by nature. If you’re thinking about the same thing, then you’ll surely love the following device, I’m talking about the Cloud Lamp. Yeap, it’s a cloud shaped lamp, as you’ve probably suspected, but that’s not the only thing that makes it special. This baby lights up as if a real storm is going in there and that’s not all. To make it seem even more real, its designer added…

If you’re the type of person who prefers getting around by bike instead of using a car, here’s something that might be of interest to you. The guys from People People (a design agency from Sweden) have recently brought back to life an old design seen on the Swedish postal bikes through their simple, but great looking Spiran (Scepter) bike. This slim looking fellow comes as an alternative for the older Kronan (Crown) bike, which is inspired by the classic military bikes from Sweden and loved by many Swedes. Even so, there’s always room for better and if you don’t settle…

Because it’s Monday, and we’re all working in a way or another. In the internet/computer era, most of us work at a desk, holding a mouse and looking through this great artificial window – the monitor. But what happens when you look to its left or its right, or above it? It shouldn’t be all about that window, you should surround yourself and your office workspace with things that matter to you, that inspire you, that makes you more creative or relaxes you. Here are 25 workspace inspirations.

Designed to be as sophisticated in style as it is in function, the D2™ pilot watch is an amazing little gadget able to help you in-flight as well as on the ground. Heck, even if you’re not a pilot, you’ll probably want to take up classes just to be able to use this baby at its fullest. If anything were to motivate us to become pilots, well, this is one of those things. (This and the cool jackets and gloves.)

Here we are – yet another Friday together, the thirty-third anniversary of adventure-filled weekends and steamy after-mornings over bacon and eggs and the fine curves seen underneath your shirt, hanging slightly open on the beautiful lady you picked up the night before. The view is breathtaking, as you look out the window and notice her house overlooks the forest. Your motorcycle is parked outside next to hers, and you realize how lucky you are to have earned that motorbike licence in the first place. What would have happened had you not seen the awesome pictures of guys on bikes on…

[adsense300gray]If you’re not into electronic music, Daft Punk, the French electronic music group, probably isn’t anything of a great interest to you, but if you usually listen to house and you’re also enjoying their work, you might be interested in the special edition of their latest album, Random Access Memories. The duo is unique, known for their remarkable shows and for the fact that they use disguises for resembling with robots during performances or in public. With these being said, you should expect that their latest album doesn’t come like any other one. For those of you who claim to…

[adsense300gray]Where do you put your keys after you return home ? I suppose that you don’t leave them inside your door, especially if you don’t live alone. I leave them on a table, near the door, but I’m thinking about buying something cool for keeping them safe until I need them again. The Magnetic key ring holder & shelf is the perfect solution, being a simple looking shelf that only needs a small space on your wall. So, what’s so special about it ? This little fellow isn’t your regular shelf, as it holds inside three rare earth magnets that…

If you need an almost street legal beauty of a super-car, look no further than Lucra Cars. These are those type of machines beautifully engineered for maximum fun, built with a fantastic weight distribution and featuring a high-tech chassis, light yet strong enough to endure any type of punishment.

The simple controller installed on the handlebar can transmit many basic signals on the LED…

Natalia Siwiec is Polish – you know, from that country with the most beautiful and hot girls in the world, at least that’s what Nath thinks. Oh yea, that’s what she likes to be called – Nath. Short and simple, but it just goes straight through you – you can tell she’s a shooting range regular. She doesn’t like to brag too much about anything, and shoots straight to the bullz eye, but that doesn’t mean you won’t get what she’s feeling or what she’s saying. Oh no, Nath will touch just the right spots in a way that’ll make…

Tricking your slacker of a brain into doing things isn’t always the easiest thing in the world. One might even say he has a mind of his own. Bad joke aside, we’re also very preoccupied with what makes us more (or less) productive, and since we’d like to be the best in everything we do, we’ve compiled a nice little list of things you can do to increase productivity. It doesn’t matter if it’s work, hobbies, fitness goals or actually getting out of the house. The only way you’ll ever achieve something is by starting. So let’s get started. [adsense300gray]The…

[adsense300gray]If you’re thinking about getting a couple of watches suitable for wearing in different situations and occasions and you also have a little over $6000 for spending, Hamilton has just what you need. You probably wouldn’t expect this, but I’m not talking about two different timepieces, but about the Jazzmaster Face to Face from Hamilton, a high quality timepiece that completes your outfit either if you’re going to an important event and need something elegant, but also when you feel like wearing a casual and even sporty accessory. The Jazzmaster is able to combine two different styles due to the…

[adsense300gray]The concrete and fir wood harmonic board that enhances everything from the deepness of the bass to the warmth of the treble is only the beginning of badassery with the P.A.C.O digital loudspeaker. For starters, it’s concrete. How many people can say they have a concrete speaker in their house? That’s right. Very. Few. And you could be one of them. Not to mention that you could easily fend off intruders by swinging your music at them, literally. With a 360 degree sound range, you will find yourself embraced by music like a warm fluffy sweater after a bath. The connection is…

[adsense300gray]The traditional style of the ZX 700 makes its big return this fall in the comfortable and eye-catching shape of these wheat-colored Adidas Originals. The colorway is especially tempting, since autumn is all about soft browns and warm yellows, while the crisp blue sky matches the accents on the tongue and back of the shoe. The pure white soles are a peek into the future of snows to come, urging you to enjoy your late October jogs through the crunchy leaves and your long walks through the pine-scented woods. We have never felt quite this strongly about any sneakers before,…

Apart from the obvious weekend of awesomeness ahead of you, of course, another weekly conglomeration of amazing things that we handpicked to inspire you to greatness. Why waste your two days of rest on resting when you can ride the wave of Friday Inspiration here at HisPotion and reach for the stars. We’ll be right in that same boat, making gourmet meals and riding our motorbikes into the sunset.

If you love old-school motorcycles (like yours truly) and you have $7,000 to spend, you can opt out for a custom build 1975 Honda CB 550. This beautiful bike was “created” by Seaweed and Gravel, located in Southern California and built by Brady Young, (who previously worked for “Ugly Motorbikes”). But hey, this Honda is not an ugly bike, by all means! The inspiration for this bike’s design was spawned from an old motorcycle of Brady’s, which was made of spare parts in his weekends. [adsense300gray]The custom-made Honda CB 550 was born with simplicity in mind. Its design is nice,…

Meet Bianca Balti, both an angel and a Victoria’s Secret angel, a MILF, actress, obviously a supermodel, a muse.

Take your time with the gallery below, enjoy each photo like you’re sipping on a 100 years old whiskey.

Having money, more or less, involves having a wallet. Or at least it does for most of us who don’t enjoy stuffing our pockets (or at least their bottoms) with money, next to keys, gum or whatever you carry around in your pockets. Well, if you want to gather your money and cards and get a (new) wallet, you should consider getting a durable one, and it’s preferable to look towards something made from real leather. The Pinnacles Cardfold is a good candidate for the job if you also want to combine style with the mixture between high quality materials and…

Located centrally next to the Buda Castle in Budapest, Hungary, this place is perfect for anybody willing to spend a pretty penny to get impeccable service and experience a unique atmosphere.

The Norwegians know that bringing your own lunch is vital when food is too expensive in town (which is more than often true in the Scandinavian peninsula). Norway-based Unika brings you the best way of storing and transporting your food to work, when going on hikes or just because you want to give your sandwich a nice home before drowning it in acid and digesting it. Colorful, occupying minimal space and looking good, the FoodSkin flexible lunchbox will fit any type of sandwich, regardless of how many layers of bacon you decided to put between the bread slices. [adsense300gray]Once closed, this…

Of course, you might argue that there is no right and wrong when it comes to exploring, and we might just let you have this one. But there are some aspects of exploring new cities like, say, Honduras (which has ranked number 1 at homicides in 2012) that will not only leave you with your mind open – but literally leave you with your skull open somewhere in a back alley. Not trying to give Honduras a bad rep here, we’d love to visit it, but carefully and not. at. night. [adsense300gray]These being said, let’s see what this right way is all about. The…

How often do you dream ? Or, should I say, how often do you think you dream and what do you dream about ? Do you remember all of your dreams ? I think that I’m speaking for everyone when saying that I usually forget what I dream about even if I seem to have a very clear image of it immediately after I wake. Well, during the day, even if I plan on talking about my sometimes creepy dreams with my friends, unfortunately, I forget all about them and they’re lost until I see or hear something that instantly…

Here’s an interesting piece of work designed for those of you who love reading and want something good looking for holding your precious friends, the books. Designers Eva Alessandrini and Roberto Saporiti created the “Read Your Bookcase” for Saporiti, an Italian furniture and interior design company. At first glance, this intriguing bookshelf looks more like a labyrinth of some sort, but you’ll soon realize that it’s, in fact, a clever host for your beloved books, or even vinyls. [adsense300gray]Why ? Well, on one hand, its design has been thought to make the best out of the available space, but on…

Bradley Garrett, a photographer and researcher with a background in anthropology and archeology, has spent the past five years of his life exploring hidden and forgotten parts of cities all over the world. Sneaking into sewers and bunkers, through metro tunnels and up skyscrapers, Garrett calls his work place-hacking: “I see the access to secret spatial information available to those willing to dive through the loopholes in the system as akin to virtual hacking.”

Since autumn is inevitably upon us, bringing a bit of that winter chill along, there’s nothing like curling up next to the heater with a good book and some soothing tunes. The trend this fall is leaning towards something called ‘post-dubstep’, a music genre that has been around since 2011, and which is best described by “urban music influenced by certain aspects of dubstep.” The genre cannot be defined by only one influence or tendency though, since it is a mixture of many things, including elements of ambient music and early 2000’s R&B. At 130 beats per minute, post-dubstep is the best kind of music…

Like many wardrobe items nowadays, the parka jacket was once part of a military uniform – comfortable and functional. Comfortable and functional, they were developed in the early 1950s for U.S. Air Force and Marines.  But in fact, the origin of this jacket is much more ancient – the nomadic people of the northern Russia used it for warm long jackets. In their language, parka means “animal skin”.

[adsense300gray]Make your life easier and safer when driving with the Garmin Head-Up Display, a really great solution for when you’re using your navigation and need to be focused on the road.

The Garmin HUD solves this problem by connecting to your Android, Windows Phone or iOS based smartphone via Bluetooth and simply projects the needed information on a transparent film on your windshield or on a reflector lens.…

[adsense300gray]As there are only a couple of months remaining until the winter holidays, here’s a great idea of a gift for offering it to a good friend. Or for keeping it, after realizing how cool it is. I’m talking about the Beer Bottle Lamp. Yes, it looks like a beer bottle with a light bulb and it actually is. The lamp’s body is made from black iron piping, having an industrial look, but the star of the show is the real beer bottle attached to it for hosting the light bulb. The bottles used for manufacturing this baby are old…

[adsense300gray]If you own a pet, you’ll definitely be very happy to hear about the latest and greatest way to feed it if you’re away all day long. As you may know, it’s not really healthy for them to have tons of food at their discretion and it’s better to feed them at regular hours, a few times a day, for keeping them fit and healthy. But that’s not really possible if you have a busy lifestyle, is it ? Well, Pintofeed is here to the rescue! This brilliant device connects via wireless to your Android, Windows 8 or iOS based smartphone…

I don’t know about you, but I just love Europe during the fall. All the wonderful colors surrounding old stone buildings and hidden city walkways, the smell of mulled wine and roasted coffee coming from small corner-shops, the coziness of hiding from the rain in a local bistro. Everything is perfectly tuned to your melancholic soul, from the crunchy leaves to the crisp autumn air. And what better place to spend a bit of November in other than Prague, the magical city of bridges and domes, gold-tipped against the fading light of day. Caught somewhere between the past and the present, Prague…

[adsense300gray]Those underwater photoshoots you keep seeing in National Geographic look super cool, right? You almost wish you could go around on your water-filled adventures with one of those waterproof cases, right? Take photos inside a waterfall, water-drenched selfies while kayaking, that kind of stuff. The Outex SLR Camera Drysuit is a nifty little outfit for your camera, made to serve and protect while still allowing you full control over all camera functions. Made of (obviously) waterproof, extremely durable and strong latex, the drysuit is also light, easy to equip and has a nice flexibility to it.

Before skipping to the awesome photos, let us end with what could be the quote of the year: “There are literally supermodels growing from trees in the Amazon!”

Express your feelings through tubes of neon lights, creating words and sentences on the walls. As the letters are available either individually or as a set, they can be easily linked together to create any word you could think of. Write neon stories, remind your spouse to buy milk, tell your significant other you love them, leave yourself little messages of encouragement – you name it. If it’s withing the alphabet, it’s doable. When you order, you get everything you need to click the letters together and attach them to the wall.

Located in Melbourne, the hotel has recently undergone a second transformational stage. To be more specific, the bar of the hotel now has an interesting new façade, made out of 17 oversized concrete pipes.

The data visualizations show the pulse of the most popular cities on Foursquare, from London to Tokyo. The strings of light are color coded, each one representing a where, how, when, or why. For example, in New York you can see yellow light reminiscent of Tron zoom into Manhattan as the commuters travel to work. Later, the city lights up in blue, trailing paths to the popular nightlife spots. Check out these awesome videos: Chicago: New York: London: Tokyo:…

Endless roads actually have ends, but the goal is not to reach it. Or is it? I’ll let you decide, just reminding you the path is, most of the times, more exciting than the actual ending point.

[adsense300gray]Name the most important thing that plays a crucial role in our lives. Well, of course it’s the air. Being so important to us, we want it to be as clean as it can, don’t we ? That’s actually possible, thanks to the bright guys at NASA that developed a system for purifying the air, I’m talking about Airocide. It came to life as a solution for the astronauts on the International Space Station, as they had to get rid of the ethylene gas produced by their plants. Airocide fixed that issue and it was further put into use in…

[adsense300gray]Richmond, Surrey has a new eating place, as eclectic and wonderful as its owner. Jamie Oliver’s string of restaurants just created another member to join its already large family: Jamie’s Trattoria.

You just have to leave them in the freezer for 4 or 5 hours and, after that, they’re good to go. I mean stir through your drink, cooling it down.…
