The Smart Gadget Called KPHOB We’ve all been there at least once before. In the last couple of months. When you leave the front door at home or at office and, after walking less than one hundred yards, you start wondering if you locked the door(s) properly.

The Amazing WRENCHit The guys from Mininch, come back after the successes they had with Tool Pen and Tool Pen mini, in order to close out and sort out their trilogy of awesome tools. Only this time, there is no pen involved, but a wrench, called WRENCHit. Specifically, it’s a modular wrench kit. A portable and multi-functional spanner, this is what you get for your money, but the bang is the impressive difference from any other project like this you might have ever seen before. The same “Pop-A-Point” design that Tool Pens employed is available on WRENCHit. This means letting…

A Bike With Personality The BMW K100 is a motorbike released in 1985, a real piece of history and a fresh remembrance of the good old times. The model is brought back in fashion by a collaboration between a duo consisting Philipp Wulk and Matthias Pittner aka Impuls and an artist, named Fabian Gatermann. It is codenamed Impuls K101, and that one digit added at the end should not be confused for something small or unrepresentative. The Impuls K101 is a raw motorbike, challenging the usual standards of manly. Far from being too loaded and without giving the impression of…
Timeless Timepieces We all love that moment when we see a collaboration between two luxury brands. Because the excellence from two different fields of expertise always leads to greatness. This time, Parmigiani Fleurier joins the Italian car manufacturer Bugatti to create a masterpiece of a watch, called Bugatti Chiron PF 390. This is the personification of style in one object. But the story of Parmigiani Fleurier and Bugatti goes eleven years back, when the Veyron was released, marking the beginning of an era. Since then, Bugatti’s style and prowess were always brought to maximum attention in limited edition series of…
Between Conformists And Non-Believers HYT is a Swiss brand creating luxury watches renowned for their adventurous craftsmanship, always looking to improve and innovate. Their work is the avant-garde of this new generation, and, while founded in 2012, they have already captured a lot of attention in the field. Now, they come with a special edition of their Skull release, named Bad Boy. I like this one, as I find it indeed special. Apart from the usual skull on the dial, the Bad Boy comes with a special feeling, being made specially for those who always look to bend the rules.…
So Freshly Traditional Discommon is a California based young team of do-ers. Yes, exactly that, they basically do things that they feel are cool just because they feel it. It’s so simple, that it is hard to explain, but I guess the name should reveal most of their intentions. They join forces with designers from all fields of expertise, be it super yachts or sunglasses. The results are awesome and don’t need too much presentation. What needs presenting is their latest project our eyes have crossed. It’s called the straight razor and is 100% discommon. All men need to know how…
Unmatched Quality, Timeless Design If you’re looking to tickle your ears with soft sound, it’s time to pay a visit to the opera house’s ticket office. But if you’re looking to set a party ablaze, it’s time to buy the Braven Brv-XXL Supersized Speaker. Unmatched quality, timeless design. Just connect it to a music portal like your smartphone or tablet and you are all set. You have a 10 meters wireless range. It doesn’t matter if the party is indoor or outdoor or has any door at all, just make sure you have the Braven Brv-XXL running and spray everyone…
The Deadly Combinations There’s a reason beyond the name to why I appreciate Sony cameras so much. Because they always try to bring something new, something not everyone in the business can afford doing. This time, they chose the zooming feature as the next focal point of progress. The Sony RX10 III Camera doesn’t just take zooming one step further. The RX10 III takes zooming to extreme levels. Why? Because future is not just a concept about passing of time and history anymore. More and more, it’s about how big a leap you can take ahead. How far behind can…
Enjoyment To A Whole New Level Taking the most out of the music you love takes a lot. Passion should do it, still, but technology, these days, has reached a point where music enjoyment has reached a whole new level. This is why the headphones, the players, the speakers we use get more diverse and all the manufacturers are racing to keep us happy. This is what the creators of iXOOST Exhaust Speakers have done. For me, they won the race. Their deck looks amazingly beautiful stylized as exhaust pipes. The concept is an embodiment of true original thinking, with…
A Choice Of Flagshipping We all know the bitten apple. So far, thanks both to their magnificent products and marketing, Apple is one of the most renowned brands. And one of their most respected, trusted and used creations is the iPhone, launched in one-year-spanned generations, a smartphone setting the tone in the business. So far, we all know, everything we’ve seen was flagship. But in 2016, they decided to release their first “lite”, called iPhone SE. The iPhone SE is a combination of the fifth and sixth (latest) generations. Basically, inside the 4-inch display we should find some specifications dating…
If You Respect Yourself, Go for Leesa My father used to say that you can appreciate a man by looking where he sleeps, and I like to rest with a clear conscience. I said rest, because there is so much more to sleeping than just closing your eyes and disconnecting from the world for a little while. This is why, to me, a perfect mattress is of great importance and I am sure it is to you as well. Leesa Mattress is, without question, a very strong candidate to being the perfect model we all should be looking for. If…
The Monster Ducati Monster is a two-wheeler created by the italian manufacturer owning the streets since 1993. This is, without question, one of the most inspiring models for all those who enjoy total makeovers for motorbikes. Only that this time, Paolo Tesio has taken everything one step further. This time, everything is extreme. This time, Ducati Monster becomes the spike-wheeled Monster of ice. When I stare at it, I have only one regret. The fact that winter isn’t long enough to put this beast at good use until I’d quench my thirst for pure adventure. While riding it, icebergs and…
We All Want To Feel Safe Sense is the intelligent camera and hub made to take your home security to the next level. This is done using both video and sound of high quality coming out from an easily installed device inside your house. Like this, you are notified when any strange behavior happens inside. Of course, you will receive everything there is on your smartphone when you’re away, using the dedicated app. Imagine going on vacation for a couple of weeks without any worry at all. Or being notified when your kid is missing school, doesn’t come home on…
Delivering SoundBoks SoundBoks is designed to be the next party starter. Only not for your friends and other company but rather for the whole neighborhood, as it delivers maximum performance, while all powered by battery. And what you need to know it’s that the device is fully portable. The manufacturers, who brought the project to Kickstarter, call the extreme volume, maximum battery life and the so-called unbreakable design as the three main focal points of their product. One thing I love about it is that they decided to throw parties in various locations all across Europe and North America in…
Looking For Resilience? Olympus TG-870 is branded as a tough camera for a reason. You can believe us when we say this is made for you, if you’re looking for a resilient digital camera to bring when going to pay a visit inside the heart of mother nature. The things to consider here are the weight, a 225g in total and the 15m waterproof, 2.1m shockproof distances, along with the 110kg force crushproof and freeze proof for up to -10 °C. To think how something so small can bear so much and remain functional is pretty impressive. And we didn’t…
Trakline Belts are Designed for the Man Ready to Act I’m actually a very big fan of clothing accessories. It’s something like a weakness to me, because in the smallest of details lies the great change. It’s here where you manage to get yourself out of the ordinary line. But first and foremost, accessories are designed to bring utility, to make you look and feel comfortable at all times. Full-grain leather is used as the material, so you don’t need to worry at all about the quality they’re bearing. When you find one that can do them both, you hit…
The Levitating Pyramid Schwinge Yachts unveiled their latest creation, the levitating pyramid, a most beautiful identified flying object of a watercraft, that can be seen around the little blue planet. After looking at it, we could mistake it for something coming from outer space, and there is nothing wrong about that. Something like this was imaginable only in Jules Verne’s books, although the project seems to have been released before by others. We are talking about a hydrofoil small waterplane area ship (HSWAS). The pyramid-shaped superstructure is capable of staying above the surface because of the vertical strut attached to…
A Masterpiece of Horology In 2015, Angelus released the U10 Tourbillon Lumiere, a watch that tried to inspire and innovate. This time around, the U20 provides a more classical approach to the overall design, made using sapphire, titanium and carbon designed in the most lightweight fashion possible, allowing the light to enter in between the watch’s components and reveal as much as possible from the tinkering done inside. Techincally, it should be established as a masterpiece of horology. This time, we don’t talk about the precision brought down to the most infinitesimal of details, surrounding any true Swiss made watch.…
A Foldable Desk System, The Edge The Edge is a completely foldable desk system we put our eyes on while screening for another cool Kickstarter project to present to you. First of all, I think the name is rightfully chosen, the edge you need is here, the spark to make you feel you’re always in the right place. The big thing about it is you can install it anywhere and make the most out of your work. The whole working station is built using aluminum, making it sturdy and reliable with the seat looking so comfortable. For example, working at…
The Little Thing is Neat Morgan Motor is yet another example of how innovation can excite. The Morgan EV3 is the coolest vehicle prototype I’ve seen since my grandfather, if you know what I mean. The only difference between that time and now is the emission rate, which, for 2016, is zero. Putting that aside, the vehicle looks so nice, it’s manly and I would take it for a spin anytime. It’s a three wheeler designed all-electric, hand crafted and imagined to give you an overhauled experience of driving. In total, the vehicle weighs around 500kg and the Lithium battery…
Don’t Mistake it Titanium Pocket Tool is the latest cool project we got the chance of seeing developing on Kickstarter. The two guys from Big Idea Design came up with the idea of having a great utility kit always in your pocket. With that, we mean that all the little things you never find when you need them will be with you all the time. It is made from aerospace grade five titanium alloy, a great everyday carry around tool, so low-profile, you can sometimes forget it exists, but be sure, when the right time comes, it will be there for you.…
Sounds of the Future Today, at Tech Guide, we’d like to introduce to you a technology in the making. It is the first wearable instrument, called Remidi, and basically it serves as a glove able to work as a midi processor. If you have ever dreamt of creating your own original music but never had the chance to learn how or if all the materials needed seemed to expensive, this is your chance now. Also, if you’re a professional and looking to expand your area of expertise, support Remidi and take your creation to new highs. Remidi was codenamed T8…
A Cafe Racer for Everyone A Cafe Racer is one of the best things a man can ride. If you’re already riding one, it means you know what you want from this life of yours. You’re never in a competition, because you’re above that, you’re the improved version of yourself, like your bike is the improved version of some model. A Cafe Racer should be available to everyone who wants to live like this, to feel the raw power of an unleashed engine. Bott XC1 is one true example of that. It’s coming from a Buell XB12 donor bike and…
Under the Umbrella of Big Bang Unico When we say Hublot, we mean brilliance in design. At least, this is how I think about it. The way they decide to craft their timepieces is a stamp of excellence, a true landmark for everyone to see how beauty and talent can mix and result in timeless creations. The Big Ban Unico is another example of how greatness can be achieved, setting the trend for the narrow category of watches you’ll want as headline of your own collection. Under the umbrella of Big Bang Unico we find 19 unique and impressive timepieces,…
Made with Fine Taste In Northern Europe, going to work by bicycle is more than a thing. It’s a cult. Everyone does that, it has become natural and so wide spread, that people who don’t practice it are in minority. One of the bikes that made history, especially in Sweden, was the Kronan, or Crown, if translated to English. The guys from People People took the idea and turned it to Spiran, or Scepter. This is what I call a sweet bike. They wanted to recreate the bike in style, making it look not only like a newer version, but…
A Friend Indeed If you’re man, you must know by now that you have to surround yourself with the right friends and the best company. But friends come in many forms these days, because anything on which you can count in times of need can be called a friend. This is exactly the case with the BangTi Military Survival Shovel. The name is a bit unfair, because this thing is all about multi functionality and usefulness. You don’t have to be a military man to find it indispensable. I mean, more than anything, the shovel is easy to use, making…
Good to Go Sondors is the manufacturer of the most affordable electric bicycle in the world. They called it Sondors THIN, and their plan is to reinvent the eBike transportation. The thing is, the model is looking neat and if you enjoy riding long distances or if you have to commute for work, an electric powered bicycle is a great recommendation. Sondors THIN makes use of a Panasonic single-cell battery, letting you float from point A to point B without lifting a single toe. All you have to do is push a button and enjoy the ride. The bicycle is…
Development Edition Starts Shipping March 30th. Why is this huge news? For those of you not familiar with the subject, HoloLens is the Virtual Reality project Microsoft is proposing in order to make our future better. How so? Just imagine the amazing applicability such a device brings. And we shouldn’t limit our imagination to gaming, which is, of course, a great deal of it. But let’s talk about how medicine practicing and learning can take a turn for the better. Of course, arts, like paining, music and film will be experienced at a whole new level. We can overcome the…
A Great Refresh Rocketbook Wave is here to change the way you take notes forever. All those lost sketches, all the creativity that’s gone for no good, you can turn around that completely. We talk about a notebook connected to special designed cloud system. From there, using a brilliant pattern system the files can be sent to Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs, your e-mail, One Note and soon iCloud or Box. I could have only dreamt of something like this back when I was in high school, and writing meant so much to my education. But how can it do this?…
Say Hello to Mokacam Filming in 4K is a great feature for any image capturing device. It’s the average-big-thing right now, the golden standard for a recording gadget to be placed in the big names category. So there is so much room for innovation and today we want to bring you the world’s smallest 4K camera. Moka is the name of the manufacturer, Mokacam is the device. When you look at it, it’s just a small cube, but it’s one that’s marking another step ahead. 79g in weight, 45mm in height, 45mm in width and 35mm in depth. But that’s…
It’s Essential Not To Panic Self defense is the simplest of laws. For this reason alone, it shouldn’t be too difficult to understand why you need to know how to practice it, yet don’t abuse it. Self defense is also an art. And the artist needs a brush, a pen or a chisel. This is where the Micro Hawk Knife, one of the nicest self defense tools I have ever seen comes along into play. It is thought to be an everyday carry defense kit. The first thing that strikes you is the shape of it, resembling a micro ax.…
How Far Would You Go For a Caterpillar Smartphone? Caterpillar is very well known for their construction equipment, recognizable all around the world, ranging from trucks to bulldozers. What is less known is they also delivered for the law enforcement or even military personnel. What is least known is they are now releasing a smartphone to combine the first two areas of expertise into one great piece of technology. From the start we have to say it is not exactly the thin, sleek, usual smartphone we’ve got used seeing these days. The S60, as it was codenamed, measures a little…

We Talk About a Smart Arm Improvements for various human activities are, basically, the reason we strive to improve robots or other machinery, thus making our lives easier, faster and even longer. The main fear factor we have to take into consideration is the possibility that, one day, robots would take our place. There is simply not enough time to argue why this is just wrong, so don’t try and convince us to do it. Instead, we recommend you to rejoice, as the robotic third arm is here to improve the so-so sick drumming beats. The researchers at Georgia Tech…
The Magical Seventy Three I love DP Customs. Because they are very imaginative, keeping a manly allure to every piece of work leaving their workshop. You will never see anything they do being too cheesy, which ultimately makes them the perfect target for us here at HisPotion.com. We revealed in the title it’s about a Harley, one made with the so-well known Ironhead engine. The maine guidelines were “black” with touches of “blue” here and there. Now, the latest of their creations over which we decided to take a look upon is called Seventy Three, as both the one who…
Eating is one of the best things we can do on Earth. We get happy as a result of eating, so we do it with friends and foes alike, thus making every evening out in the city an occasion for that endeavor. But how many of us still pay attention to calories intake while going out? Eating healthier should be a top priority for each of us, no matter where we find ourselves in. We here at HisPotion.com stressed that out before and we make yet another statement out of care for our readers. We prepared a list of 7…
Luxury on the Spot If you are a fan of Bentley, you should already know Naim Audio. They provide the sound system for the luxury car manufacturer since 2008. Mu-so Qb is the little brother of Mu-so, and is pronounced “cube”. It was introduced earlier this year at CES and it is one of the coolest speakers I have seen lately. The name reveals the rectangular shape, symmetric and concise. It could fit a living room, an office and pretty much any spot you want it to, because this is why Mu-so Qb is the lightweight version. So you can…
Welcome to Bluetooth Future A bright young team from St. Petersburg, Russia, decided that future lies in simplicity.

Other than that, you get additional amazing features, which are all simply amazing. It’s Fotogen that will allow you to attain a more minimalist experience when at home. This means you will stay in touch with more things than ever, connecting you to each dot of…
Momentum 2.0 It’s been already some months since the release of the Sennheiser Momentum 2.0, the improved version of the series. The German manufacturer released the sequel in order to address all the designing flaws the Momentum One presented. Namely, the first felt uncomfortable to wear for a long period of time. We decided to write about 2.0 because we believe, right now, they are among the real crystal-clear headphones on the market. One of the biggest difference is in the ear cups, which are bigger, softer and better. They seem comfortable to wear and don’t pinch anything. Another improvement…
Welcome to Mother Russia Or let Mother Russia welcome everything there is in your sight to see.

An Instructable That Should Become Viral Today we wanted to test your skills. You see, a man should craft and create things with his own hands, giving life and sense to materials around him. And if one doesn’t know to do so, he can learn and it is here where this instructable serves a purpose. And this is why I believe this instructable should become viral and seen by as many as possible. Men creating stuff is badass. Period. This guy took parts from an exhausted engine and turned them into a beautiful lamp for a nicely themed bedroom. And…
Force Friday Hype Force Friday has been a great moment for all Star Wars fans, making it possible to buy special things at even more special prices. But the real great news is the release of the limited edition Devon Star Wars inspired watch. Only 500 timepieces will be released and the inspiration for the model comes from, you guessed it, Darth Vader but also the tie fighter. The watch simply looks amazing, it’s any fan’s must have. This is something more than an object to add in a collection, the design and the touch is impeccable. The details, abundant,…
Still the Best We come to you today with an e-book reader released late in 2014, but the reason we write about it now is that the Amazon Kindle Voyage remains not only the best released by them to date, but probably still the best in the world. It was considered as such last year, and until the Voyage 2 is released, we probably won’t see any changes in this regard. But enough with this, let’s get down to business. The first and most important aspect of an e-book reader is the screen. The Amazon Voyage delivers in all the…
A Classic, A Legend Yamazaki was, back in 1923, the very first Japanese malt whiskey distillery. The buildings stand between Osaka and Kyoto, in the blissful serenity of the Vale of Yamazaki. The whiskey distillery is part of the Suntory brand, currently in possession of twelve stills of three different varieties. It is recognized as being one of the best, if not the best distillery in Japan. The 2016 Vintage Sherry and Spanish Oak flavors have been a part of the Suntory repertory for around one hundred years. Thing is, after so much time, you can still say they make…
Another Round We all enjoy tap beer more, right, guys? Tap beer is manly, is a way of saying “another round” without actually spelling it, because who goes out for just one single beer? But we can’t enjoy the special taste of a draught at home, because of the foam, which, you’re right, is missing. The problem is, if it’s too much of it, having a cold one becomes more of a fight than enjoyment, but if it’s completely missing, the issue at hand is even worse. You see, it’s been proven that the foam gives beer a better, improved…
Leaning Multi Wheel Yamaha continues to deliver innovation and inspiration in the field of unconventional vehicles. In 2013 they first released a model under the codename GEN, namely Yamaha 01GEN, which was a very big three-wheel motorcycle, for many way too large and impossible to use to maximum potential. After that, Yamaha O2GEN followed, being exactly an electric-powered wheelchair. This year, under the very same scope of “Refined Dynamism” concept, Yamaha released two new concept models, the 03GEN-f and 03GEN-x. Basically, they want to keep exploring what the “Leaning Multi Wheel” front suspension of the Tricity scooter can offer. In…
Insanely Awesome One thing I like about Jeep is their vehicles’ constant willingness to improve. When it comes to a model of theirs, there is always room for better. We call this great adaptability. Jeep was always great for riding the most dire conditions because it has the potential to mix it up, never looking under prepared. Thaler Design took one of the Wrangler editions and turned it around, making it look like a studio on wheels. It’s a room for two, with more than decent conditions and human needs addressed. They named it the Action Camper. From this point…
That Time Of The Year Is Upon Us Guys, Valentine’s Day is coming. Now, we understand you want to impress her with a special gift, everyone wants to. A well thought gift could get you a long way, in all kinds of dimensions. So you just want to make it perfect, or at least better and better every year. It’s in your vital interest to show your significant other how much she means to you, while the implications of not doing so might be so well understood by now. But creativity doesn’t grow up in trees, and even if you…
A Bit Of History Of Awesomeness The CX Series by Honda was a late 70’s, early 80’s sensation back then. It was innovative, because they brought to the table features unused and unknown to be possible. They had electric-only starting, liquid cooling, low-maintenance shaft drive and ingenuous dual CV-type carburetors among the others that influenced many generations to come. The CX500 was deservedly one of the best in the series, but with production ended so early, years have passed and now any model would need at least some tweaking or even a complete overhaul to make it look competitive. The…
Innovations Of The Bright Minds A special design for a car doesn’t always mean better performance or enhanced visuals. But when it comes to the T-Rex By Aero3s, I guess the situation is different. This vehicle is already street legal in the U.S. so the recognition their efforts is visible. They have a lot of innovative, bright ideas, some of which were not expressed by them for the first time in history, but they are among the first to go this far. For example, the car has only three wheels. Two front aluminum wheels (12” x 7.5′) and one rear…
Revitalize, Don’t Reshuffle First of all, I want to say I am really grateful for finally getting to write my thoughts about Desktop Neo. So thanks Hispotion.com for allowing me to appreciate on paper something I’ve been watching for a long time. Second of all, Desktop Neo is still just a “conceptual desktop operating system” which means there is still plenty of thing to improve. Now, let’s talk about Desktop Neo. Translated as the best thing happened to desktop computers since their inception. It is what makes them intuitive and productive, responsive and clever – like your smartphone. Think of…
Know The Part The best thing about a good act is when the actor is still surprised about what’s happening to him, even after he saw the play going on and on until the end for many times. It is exactly the case for us and all these tactical knives we keep on seeing around. The only (big) difference is, we get to see different settings, namely the aspect of the knife. Enough with the metaphor, this latest piece is awesome. Schrade M.A.G.I.C Tactical Knife is the undisposable item for you to hold when leaving f0r a trip in the…
Back To Future Everyone loved that movie. I mean, there was this little thing called fantasy that we all used to have with us wherever we went when we were kids. But the main attraction in there was definitely the car. For me, at least, it most surely was. The way those doors got up and let me dream about the endless opportunities my future will give me – that was some feeling. In the end, it was cool and mysterious and I am sure I am not alone in here. Well, now, guys imagine if you could own a…
Welcome To Republic Of Gamers The latest Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) is this quarter’s best newcomer of this gaming laptops sector. This series by Asus is long known for being the high end option for a gaming notebook. The version they came up with last year, albeit from having major designing issues was probably the best of the year. The 2016 makes it all a little more slim and, in my opinion, looking quite dapper. Have a look at the pictures and make up your mind for yourself. The edges look crispy, the curves are all set in the…
Fontus Is The New Technological Landmark I know it might not look so big, but just imagine not having to plan your bike trip depending on the hydration sources available. And this is just one simple, selfish argument. For the entire world this could be a game changer. You could now literally harvest water. Fontus is powered by solar cells and simply put, it collects the moisture from outside, the thin air, guys, condenses it and turns it into safe drinking water. In an hour’s time, under the right climatic (temperature and humidity) conditions, you can collect up to 0.5L.…
Camping 2.0 Brought By Tentsile It’s a special thing going camping with a suspended hammock. They have been around for quite some time, thanks to this company called Tentsile and their lovely concept. But now they wanted to take it to the next level, which they totally did. Meaning they turned into reality a suspended tent entirely. That is pretty awesome. I guess we can call this Camping 2.0 brought by Tentsile. You don’t get any unwanted guests, you have all the intimacy you want up there. You can sleep or watch over the entire zone from inside. It is…
A Brilliant Concept, The Musket Sets New Standards The musket is one of my all-time favorite customization jobs made on a two-wheeler. Max Hazan is regarded as the world’s best in this domain as we speak, his works are absolutely incredible. The Musket is not an exception to that. Quite on the contrary, we say this one should be considered one of the main attractions of his portfolio. The bike’s design and concept are a true masterpiece and almost everything you see is handmade. Quite on the contrary, we say this one should be considered one of the main attractions…
Street-Legal Turbo Destroyer If you have ever dreamt of a bullet-like motorbike to abide your commands, DP Customs wanted to take that dream and convert it to reality. This long and low bike is excellence on two wheels. It is what you expect from a customization job made with tremendous skill. This bike is a beast, a two wheeler with strong brakes made to take you far away. It has a clean build, but everything is taken to extreme. It is what you expect from a customization job made with tremendous skill. This bike is a beast, a two wheeler…
A Box Full Of Surprises Today, jumping out of our box full of surprises, it’s a body armor to make you prepared for when the little green men arrive. I can just imagine how short the Independence Day movie would have been if everyone on Earth had one of this. Alright, but how about a great gift for your little brother or your son? There has to be at least someone in the family who would love this. The manufacturer is AR500 Armor, they do all kinds of stuff like this. The model is called Mandalorian Ballistic Armor. Have a…
New Year, New Me How many times we heard this before, guys? It’s not even an expression anymore, it’s just some old cliche, we keep asking ourselves each year when are we finally going to stick to one of them. We discussed about this a few times before, and we think it’s about time we make some real progress. Here’s a short list of what a couch potato should stop doing. 1. Experience More It’s a beautiful world outside, full of things to discover and master. Now, you probably think we mean the wilderness of the green forests and the…
Secure At All Times We all want to feel secure. It’s the most basic need of sustainable human life. When we’re little, we let our parents do that. But when we become the parents, it’s in our responsibility to take care of that. We want everyone in the family to feel safe and there is no room to joke about that. Well, there are lots of solutions out there on the market to ensure you stay safe at all times, but many are shaky in front of the real challenge, should that ever arrive, God forbid.

The GTX 950 Strix Edition – Not Cheap, But Price-Smart Nvidia GTX 950 is a very good, reliable yet price decent graphics card. The latest additions brought by Asus should meet any requirements of a high-end video game, thus allowing you enjoy them fully. It’s based on the Nvidia’s Maxwell core, which is still capable. I know, some will say it is only a cut-down from the GTX 960. Not true, because this is not Vanilla GTX 950. We talk about the Asus GTX 950 Strix, which delivers factory overclocking, thermostatically controlled cooler, twin-fan yet so silent. Under intense stress,…

Minimalist Wallet For A Grand Life Our lives are hectic. We live by the minute, making decisions in the rush, and everything seems to be less consistent. You need to focus on more and more things leaving you with less time for what really matters. Don’t lose your focal points, realize what matters to you and adapt to what the modern society asks from you. For example, you have to pay with a credit card more often than at any times ever since contactless payment arrived and took everything by storm. So holding your credit cards very near to you…
For Men Who Want More The Lego Architecture Skyline Collection is made for men who want more from life in general. They like to play, but they don’t fool around. If you are one of them, you should get your own set. The collection represents a set of three cities with their respective landmarks and the tallest building in the world. I like to call it men jewelry because they look precious. Maybe they are not what you expect when you say precious gems, but they are not toys either. It is what you want to see from a man…
Be Not Afraid – The Survival Moto Is Here We all know the Zombie Apocalypse will eventually come and there’s no reason to be afraid. Rather than that, you should be prepared. When the mindless scourge approaches you, the amount of hardcore badassery needed to get past them will be way too much for many to handle. But not for you. Because after seeing this customized BMW R100 by Svako you’ll know what to get when fate strikes.

Self-Cleaning Jeans, The Future Of Clothing Self-cleaning clothes are the future of clothing. Once they make the great breakthrough on the big markets, there will be no reason not to buy one. A Kickstarter project presents to us the self-cleaning jeans. They are manufactured by ODO. One thing I have to admit, they are not only very practical, they also look fashionable to some respectable extent. I mean, I can see myself wearing them as a part of many outfits. They also seem pretty comfortable. The manufacturer says they are stain proof and stink proof. The technology used features some kind of…
Theft-proof Bike Means Awesome A new Kickstarter project was on our desks this morning, called Invincible, the theft-proof bike. The idea is a great one, guys. It’s allowing you to take greater care of your bike without spending that much on security systems that look only like a bigger challenge for those who intend on doing the wrong thing. The whole concept is called FortifiedProtect. When you buy Invincible, you become a member of their registered owner records, meaning only you can own that bike. If your bike or parts of it get stolen away from you, the moment they…
A Handheld Miracle What I like the most about Leica Q camera is the portability. I mean, the availability, the fact that you can have your most precious memories shot and immortalized with such great quality without having to carry all that equipment around. This is where the miracle of technology got us at. Also, the aspect of the camera is a work of high class and well refined design. The thing I like the most is the quick response you get when you put the camera to your face. Using a sensor, this neat gadget switches between the LCD…

Portable and Reliable Survival cards have become more diverse and ready to pick up the burden for you in case of emergency and the one made by Readyman is not an exception. In the past, you could have argued they were only for show purposes and ask when is that exactly you are going to need one for real. But as I started to explore the world more, I realized there are many ways to make it useful other than being left out forgotten in the woods for a long time. The Card made by Readyman is usable as a…
Redefine Your Music Today our eyes landed on a very surprising yet awesome music player. Connected via Bluetooth and what not, but it’s made special by the very new capacity to levitate! There is a lot of advantages about that when it comes to quality of the speaker, but we’ll get down to that immediately. For now, I just want to make sure you guys understand, the thing is floating, levitating. How more awesome can technology become! The company designing it has a motto: “Don’t just rise above the rest. Levitate!” Great one in my opinion, because it sets new…
Travel Like A Lord Have you ever wondered if you could fly a yacht? Well, now you definitely can. It’s called Sky Yacht One and is one of the best things a money could afford. When you think of ways to upgrade your lifestyle to the maximum, this surely has to be one of them. Just imagine if you were “trapped” inside one of them. You would get to do business and leisure at the same time. A flight with the Sky Yacht should be suspended in time, so that you never come out of it. Sky Yacht is a collaboration…
Own The Off-Road The Portland based team MotoCorsa decided to make all the upgrades needed on the Ducati 1199 Panigale. The result? A superbike capable of owning the mountains in the army looking paint job. To think of a Ducati Panigale, the street bike by definition as a ranger of the woods, should have been considered a madness until very recently. But these guys have done it, they completed the ultimate customization challenge. The finished product looks very good, I like it a lot. It doesn’t have too much of anything. There is still plenty of the street bike identity left…
Get Some Fun Spending a day at the office could prove to be a challenge in itself even when the day is busy. But when you get one of those days when nothing much happens, situation might become desperate. Every office which respects itself is always prepared for one of these set ups. Everyone’s got tournaments of paper throwing, some play basketball down at the warehouse but the main idea is everyone should get involved. Rubber band machine gun is here to do the same. When you’re engaged in such activities as “office guerrilla warfare” you need to be up…
Get Ready For Action Riding your bike is probably the best feeling a man can get. You contact your most intimate version of yourself. You can get to know yourself better after a long ride, with only the wind whispering in your ears. Putting that aside, there is one other thing speaking, but it’s a roar, not a gentle whisper: the god damn engine. That is where the real fun is, lads, let’s not fool ourselves. When a two-stroke motorcycle engine is speaking everyone should make silence and wait for the beast to finish the monologue. When that happens, what’s…
Blu Vivo 5, The Newcomer The Miami based smartphone company Blu has officially announced at CES 2016, in January, the final plans and release date for Blu Vivo 5 (and his little brother Blu Vivo 5 XL). The reason why I picked this one to talk about is because Blu Vivo 5 actually has the potential to rule over the low-cost segment of smartphones. This is because the model looks pretty good both in pictures and specs. Most of you probably didn’t hear about them until now, but this is the reason I am here. To assure you what these…
Throwing Tomahawks Tomahawks are a part of men culture. They are a symbol of manliness and this is the way things should stay.

In short, you can be sure, this is a great addition to your tools box. This time, we present to you the SOG Throwing Tomahawks, a set of three one-piece steel hawks with…
Play With The Best There Is Cool down, guys. Let’s take it step-by-step. What does a 100 MP camera mean ? Well, much more than what the name leaves for discovery. Because, when you admit such power actually exists, you surrender to the thought that this is the only thing that matters. Which is false. This 100 MP camera is much more than this. The Phase One XF Camera System was introduced in June 2015. Ever since that moment, it was designed to function with the performance of a 100 MP camera. This camera system has a true wide variety…

So far, you can find it on Kickstarter, the place where the best ideas are…
The Paris Collection The simple question of where simplicity turns to greatness is not so often answered with simple words. It takes men of complex action to take things a step further. This is what Wanderlust Watches is here to do. Their Kickstarter project represents the revival of what was considered obsolete in terms of men fashion: the pocket watch. They named their collection Paris, in remembrance of Jean-Antoine Lepine, a local clockmaker from Paris in the 18th Century. The Paris Collection comes in three different colours, all bearing names from distinct famous neighbourhoods in the City of Light. The…

Both Smooth And Thunderous In 2008, when Harley attached the Fat Bob to the Dyna line of models, everyone was astonished how amazingly awesome it was looking. Years passed and we can feel the wind of change blowing in our ears. Real riders resort to personalized toys, in terms not of creativity but of an unmatched sense of liberty. To be what you are, wherever, whenever. What that actually is remains a mystery for many, so let me clear things up a little for you, lads. What we have here is a rare piece of pure craftsmanship, a perfect equilibrium…
Beard Maintenance is in the list of a man’s basic needs. Or, at least, it should be. Just having a beard isn’t enough. You need more to it, not because we say so, but because people pay a lot of attention to an aspect like this. Should your beard be looking manly and fresh it could be the key to the next date or the next one hundred. It might not be a guarantee for success, but if you don’t do it right, it surely is a recipe for disaster. So bear with me, I got five reasons for you…

Perfect can be your determination and willingness to remain fit and start building your summer body. What we have prepared here for you is a set of exercises considered to be the…
Last week we talked about Huawei,their entrance to the US smartphone market and some premium products they offer. A very smart thing to do, as we still see a lot of space there to explore. But they needed more than this. A leap, a big step ahead, so they are now releasing the official Nexus 6P together with Google. We’ve excitingly been waiting for the new Huawei Nexus 6P and now finally got our hands on the beauty. Here we go. Unboxing First let’s go over the box – here, nothing too fancy to see, it’s a relatively simple box. White, made…
Let’s Talk Commando There’s no secret ladies are attracted to army men. They mean uniforms, I know, but bear with me. What they like more is a man who gets things done. That’s not always easy to inspire. How many arguments do you have on that? Maybe you should have one in your wardrobe too. We talk about Palace collaborating with Arktis resulting in this Commando outfit. In the word Commando itself lies the main reason you should get one: they are those special guys who’re called when everything goes wrong. You think it’s easy? It takes discipline and determination. If…
Paying more is receiving more When it comes to Definitive Technology W Studio Micro the statement is true. That has many explanations, I’ll try to quickly sort them out for you. First, the design. For a sound bar, the looks are amazing. It’s only 1.75″ tall, and while some say the edges are a bit too sharp and lacking finesse, I think it’s a futuristic model. There is something new about it, definitely, and it could be from the materials used to build it. Included in price is the plastic’s complete abandonment. Instead, we find the combination of metal and…
Enjoy this holiday seasons with awesome winter blankets from the good folks of Tanner Goods
Spy Kids Getting Real Let’s say you are picturing how a future project should look like, or what the final scene of your novel should transmit.

Well, for sure we can’t help any batteries manufacturers right now, but we can give you a solution: the super smart-cool-ballpoint pen…
The new standard in excellence The new Honda RC213V-S, a street-legal MotoGP copy of the RC213V model used on tracks by the one and only Marc Marquez, the super champion, my definite favorite out there, was announced for 2016 at the Italy’s EICMA show last November. It is, evidently, or will be, so to speak, a limited edition bike, and Honda says this is the “closest to a MotoGP bike than any road-going model ever offered to the public.” You might say it is a bold statement, but to me, it’s just what you should expect from this Japanese motors…
A Fresh Perspective Of Time In Evolution The way we got to observe and analyze how time gives us shape is very different than what it used to be a couple of hundred years ago. The motion, the continuous evolution is a structure well conceptualized in our minds, but most of the time not before our eyes to see. This is what the Tel Aviv based Studio Ve is here to do for us, give a new meaning to the way we see time revolving in cycles around, again and again, cycles which vary one from each other. What a…
Adventurers, this is for you It all started 80 years ago. Ettore Bugatti, from Milan, the founder of the French car manufacturer giant we know so well today was a passionate of maritime models, both in sprawling and designing. This time around, Bugatti teamed up with Palmer Johnson, the biggest yacht manufacturer the world has seen up to this day to create a series of astonishingly beautiful vessels.

Sneaker Luggage – A Must Have I worship my shoes. I mean, all of them. Including my flip-flops, sneakers, boots etc. To me, that is easy to understand, a man’s quality, prosperity, lifestyle and first impression are all hiding inside them. It’s actually this why I stumbled upon this fashion blog at first, the weekly 5 sneakers series. In my humble opinion, alongside with the perfume he’s wearing, his beard, if there’s any and his tie or bow-tie, the shoes mean much more than they reveal. Think of this whenever you decide to buy a pair, any pair, of any…

The thing is, no matter if we like it or not, called for it or not, winter time is here. I like winter, it’s in this season when men’s fashion becomes the most diverse.

It’s very important to look good, but having an object to last and be useful in various conditions should be a determining factor in such decisions. Today, we’ll discuss the 5 most important aspects to consider when buying winter shoes. Let’s focus on the idea…

True utility How many tools you need to carry around when things need to get done? I mean a ruler, a bottle opener, a screwdriver? How about we tell you you can carry them all in one.

Body 2.0 An Austin-based software design firm called Chaotic Moon are here to give us a new meaning on how our skin can work. Tech Tats is the name of the innovation. We are not turning to cyborgs, but we become more defined and more refined. We basically talk about a wearable techs, or, how they like to put it, Biowearables. The idea behind this brilliant concept is an electromagnetic ink which coupled with an ATiny85 micro-controller provides the user with real-time health stats, such as the body temperature, sweat, but more importantly, heart rate and hydration level. It’s like…
Creativity to innovation Earnest Studio are a Netherlands based team of creators that came up with this great idea of turning your house into a spot of creativity for everyone living in it to enjoy. The concept is revolving around modularity, and to me it looks like a symbol of minimalist innovation. The thing is, whenever you think about ways to decorate your house, you are stuck within strict shapes, sometimes rendering them immovable. Now, you can reconfigure certain pieces of your plan, for example, a candle-holder or a vanity tray. Like this, they are not fixed or permanent objects…
Trickster Art A beautiful collaboration in limited edition. Maybe this is what the winter version of yourself needs this year. Rolex was chosen as the platform to develop it. We talk about the result of a Bamford Watch Department collab with pop art design house Rodnik Band, led by Philip Colbert himself. This Rolex Snoopy Watch is the piece your collection is missing.

Give it a chance, you will thank us for it right after you get one for yourself. It is a…
There is no shame in willing to travel, no matter how much money you want to spend doing it. There are lots of people who do it, basically, for free.

Time for an alternative In 2014, Microsoft released the Surface Pro 3, thinking that it will represent the change the industry needs. It was designed to be the next step, a leap to link the more and more increased demands of mobility, stability and performance with the maneuverability of an operating system still unmatched, the largest platform connecting so many people around the world, re-surging with each edition coming out. What they needed was a click, a way to make everything feel smoother. Looking at the premises, they had it good, but a certain feeling was lacking, the one to…
Feeling special at work should be a primary concern in the modern world that the modern man lives in. Not at all in the girly kind of way, you have to be respected, you have to turn heads around when you walk in the office, you can’t be just that same guy that comes in, gets the job done and leaves, like, if he would disappear and no one would remember his face. Clothes are a big part of this, they’re a statement, a way to express who you really are and why you should be the one standing out…
Beauty and the beast Ducati has always been one of my favourite motorbike manufacturers. Their models represent cornerstones in the industry of making people feel the pure adrenaline rush, no mix, no set up, only true feeling. They got a special place in my heart for two reasons, as I feel that their concepts make the beauty and the beast meet on the track and on the road. The models’ design is always spectacular, the characteristics the body gave them an unique trace of brilliance. Also, on the other side of the waltz is the engine, the beast. These guys just…

Think about it Having to spend many hours at work every day is tiresome to say the least. You need to understand that in time sitting down on a chair could prove risky for your health.

StandCrafted, the Standing Desk is here to make sure this will not happen.

The first lite from OnePlus OnePlus X has become official for some time now. It is, as every time, shipped with Oxygen OS, a custom made version of Android, which is still unknown to many, but the delivery process should be already underway. Previously known as OnePlus Mini, the X version is rightfully called a lite version of OnePlus 2, the second device released by the flagship-killer-potential company. Also, it’s released the same year as the predecessor, so we can admit there are some links between the two of them, even if it might not seem so. First of all,…

Ever since I know myself, the urban way of living was the only standard that could be applied to me. I mean, you can take the man out of the city, but you cannot take the city out of the man. Well, things started to change, as I grew older, even though I still love my city, I need more and more time out of it, as in any plentiful relationship, a little distance can do magic. So, if you feel like me, or even if you don’t, take a look at this 5 rural house designs from USA, who…
Think straight Parking could prove to be one of the main challenges of any road ahead. I remember that when I got tested for my driver’s license, I failed the parallel parking part of the test. It took me a long time to understand how it’s done, but now everything is straight in my mind. If I had this back then, maybe everything would have been all better. If you have your own problems about this, don’t be afraid to admit it too. Come on. See, you’re not less of a man now than you were before. First of all, pick the right…
Disrupting The Wallet We got a smart for everything these days. We live in the era of the smartphone, the smartwatch, the smart camera, smart TV? Does it ring a bell? We live dependently on these things, and that’s fine. We’re not becoming slaves of technology, we’re improving. I think it’s time for a new advancement in your life. Only this time, Walli is not just smart, he’s the smartest. Reliable because of too many reasons The modern man, in the way we know him and speak about him, has a lot to worry about, things to cover and get done. Whether…
Bring quality with you everywhere Plantronics, for those of you who don’t know, represents one of the greatest audio gadgets manufacturers in both the USA and the world. NASA actually used their equipment, back in 1961. In present day, they want to make us a proposal: take the new headset, the BackBeat Sense for a spin and be simply amazed. BackBeat Sense are a pair of wireless on-ear headphones using Bluetooth for connection. Considering the price, I would actually consider them one of the better options when it comes to put the price in comparison with the quality they deliver.…
New times, new shapes So many great things have come out of carving wood, making it bend to the will of the man. From tools to weapons, from heat to structures and defence positions. Maybe these things have gone too far now, but that is a discussion for some other time. This is what the Taiwanese designer Cheng-Tsung Feng wanted from his bamboo work. To take things a step further. Looking at the result, I’d say there is definitely something there. In this modern and classy design lies countless hours of practicing the old habits of our ancestors. Traditional is…
Time for things to get raw Manliness is a word often used these days. Everything is sorted out as being manly or not. But with this trend, we tend to forget what manly really means. Manly is not about growing a lumberjack beard or wearing lumberjack clothes. Manly is about being a lumberjack if the situation calls for it. To help you in this demeanor, we introduce to you the Gerber Downrange Tomahawk. This is not a toy, nor a lady magnet. Pay attention here: Gerber is a manufacturer specialized in creating gear for the real tough guys. All kinds of…
A concept close to perfection When I first got my eyes on the new BMW idea of a good ride, I found it intriguing how they decided to shape it, the idea behind the concept being that they probably wanted you to have a little more control over it. From what I can see that this model has become, they did an amazing job. It is not your usual street-madness, outrageous for the old folks kind of bike, it’s more of a respect-imposing, always fashionable in its own kind of bike. But let’s make one thing clear, which is the…
Bigger doesn’t always mean better Have you heard about those Swiss army knives, made for multitasking in various conditions, imposed by the different landscapes a soldier can find himself in ? Of course you have, they are famous all over the world. Well, this is what Klax, the Multi Tool Ax is here to represent: the idea that small things can be extremely underappreciated when it comes to getting things done in a clear and timely manner. This was a Kickstarter project, as we now expect it to hit retailing rather sooner than later. Klax is a great tool for…
Experience better connectivity Google has expanded from a simple digitalized web-service allowing its users to search all around the www. to being both one of the greatest brands in the world right now and largest companies of the IT industry. Thy released more and more devices and gadgets, spreading all over the business, ranging from mobile phone industry or self-driving cars industry. In their quest of exploration the endless possibilities and development of ever-expanding network, they came across the idea of creating a wi-fi router. First, it was in collaboration with TP-Link. Two months later, another statement, this time, in…
Dangerous yet so exciting Freediving is more than a simple niche sport. It’s a whole discipline. People practiced it since the beginnings of their time walking on Earth, when the SCUBA system was not available. The main principles might seem easy to understand for a someone not introduced to the world of physics. I’m not here to fill you with the boredom of a highschool lesson, but to make you aware that the atmospheric pressure is not something to be joked around with. So, both the stages of descension and ascension must be completed accordingly to the strict rules of…
Living the future is achievable now We’ve all seen those perfect images from future. In movies, in books, times when civilization has become so advanced that we don’t need to consume in order to exist. This is what a couple from the United States imagined for their own space of living, so they created the house that eats no energy, perfectly sustainable and real. They took the decision to move from a rural area back into the city, because their professions required them to, also the city being too tempting. Arriving at a residence in Santa Monica, California, they began…
Pierre Aronnax on duty Have you ever dreamt of being the Pierre Aronnax of your own times ? Well, DeepFlight is here to introduce to us the Dragon, a personal submarine, entirely waiting for your command. It is one thing I like to mention from the start, when the submarine runs out of juice, it has a fixed positive buoyancy, meaning it will always get to floating levels above the sea, back to surface, just like very DeepFlight craft so far does. It’s a huge thing, it’s like this you can prevent failures which could lead to the Ocean being…
As time goes by… Humans is the only species living on this planet, surrounded by this beautiful nature we share with others, which account for the time they spend under the sun. We count how much we spend in school, at work, sleeping or how much time we need to arrive at point B after leaving A. Time is an inevitable dimension not for our society but for our ecosystem, it is the most delicate and sensible brick that lays at the foundation of our pathway to eternity, thus making us even more vulnerable in front of the certainties we…
Beast Mode: ON You think it’s easy to turn a simple car to a respect imposing, angry, mean machine ? Ask your enemies, they should be the one to feel the wrath of it. Erhm, enemies, I mean, the roads you are about to hit. Got that ? Pun intended. Alright, bad jokes aside, take a look at this beautiful transformation the guys from Starwood Motors made on a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the 2013 edition. The concept they had in mind should have inspired Mad Max creators when they designed the cars that were going to make the cut and…
Watching TV at home has a whole new meaning A new awesome Kickstarter project appeared before our eyes this morning. It’s called Pico, the Home Brewing Machine. As the name suggests, you can automatically brew beer at home, 5L mini-kegs, professionally and at a high quality. To put it with simplicity, as we like to, using the ready-to-brew PicoPak kits, you get to enjoy a tasteful home-made beverage after spending something around two hours waiting for the magic to happen. The PicoPaks can be purchased from the Brew Marketplace, where over 50 of the world’s best craft breweries and already over…
Ties that bind The Heritage collection from Longines it’s a true statement for class and distinction. With each timepiece they’re adding, the collection becomes richer not only in numbers, but in purpose and uniqueness as well. Brave men who wrote history During the Second World War, back in the 1940s, the British Special Forces equipped their paratroopers with a watch very much alike what Longines brought before our eyes. The British War Office commissioned these timepieces for the sole use of the Combined Operations Command, marking them with the initials COSD. Rigorous and thorough These are the two words that…
In a big, big world The inaugural device for the brand new line coming from the Korean manufacturer is not a joke. It’s an answer. A statement that the time to end the competition’s reign as the only ones who dictate the flagship market of smartphones is here. It’s a smartphone trying to pave the line for a three-way to remember. The V10 comes with a fingerprint reader, two displays, and two front-facing cameras. Yes, I can repeat, there are two displays. Now, that we got that settled, catch this: the battery is removable. Yes, this is a feature used…
Another step forward Since the inception of the smartphones and the, let’s call it, “app’s micro Universe”, everyone wanted to create content filled with utility for their customers, thus enlarging the possibilities of expansion to an unlimited and unprecedented range. Nowadays, every company, website, project, retailer, basically everyone commercially involved has an app linked with their products, which is good. It’s great ! This year, in Berlin, Royal Philips shown up with Smart Shaver Series 7000, the world’s very first Bluetooth connected shaver device, intended to bring comfort, to pave the long way ahead to that future we all imagine…
Future is here now Boys will be boys no matter what, you always keep hearing them saying this. But why should we exclude men from the real fun ? I mean, look at Onewheel, the very first device allowing you to roam the streets at night, giving you the chance to make every ride feel special. It is self-balancing, using inertial sensors and other algorithms specially created in order to balance the board around the wheel. It may sound futuristic, but if the idea actually works the way it’s intended to, which seems to by the first glance, then it’s actually a…
The “pure sport roadster” I don’t know about you, but when I like to think of myself as a adventure driven personality kind of guy. I find my perks in doing stuff that mostly everybody around me should deem as irresponsible. Fortunately, they do not, because I was blessed with people like me, who want to take control of their road through life, sometimes beyond the edge. When I want to take things to the next level, I want pure, raw adrenaline rushing through my veins, so I turn my attention to what quenches my thirst, a real monster waiting…
To brew or not to brew? Brewing beverages has been a constant occupation for men since the earliest of days. Sure, in the beginning brewing was limited to medicinal herbs thought to alleviate pain, but this all changed when people discovered beer. Or it might have been tea, but you know how they say it, the greatest stories never start with someone eating a salad drinking tea, am I right? Well, with the inception of the mother of all blondes, the beer industry has shifted to a complete new dimension. Which they are about to do again, with the MiniBrew, a gadget…
Time for a week-end out of town. Ideas ? Campfires. Yeah, folks, we’re talking about those times when you and your friends go out, exploring the true wilderness of our mother nature. It’s all there in you, don’t look too far, the images, the laughs, the light, the heat, the warmth, we all like it, it’s normal, even if you are the most urbanistic kind of modern man. But sometimes there are definite shortages in all kinds of raw materials, and for some, finding a way out of trouble is the whole thing, but to me, to be honest with…
Paintball is not a kid’s business, paintball is for men. Taking that tactical advantage to the next level, make use of the harsh conditions in your advantage, capturing the flag, eliminating your opponents and claiming the victory. Paintball is not a joke, not your usual sports or way to spend the free time. Paintball is something you plan your whole next week around of, giving you the special thrill you need to see the work days through. You dream of becoming a master of it, don’t lie, being titled the pow-pow king of your group is a desirable objective.
There is this company manufacturing all sorts of vehicles, called Gibbs. I like them, the last model that came up on our desks was the Quadski, a quad built for people wanting to feel an adventure in as many ways as possible. This time, they flipped the page a little bit, and it’s still a lot of moisture, still the weather is great, no need to feel sad about that. We talk about another amphibious brave and clever design, called the Biski, basically a motorcycle and a boat, depending on the demands your road ahead imposes. What they did is…
Can you feel the might embracing you? Yamaha is back. The YZF-R1 model is an open class sport bike, or superbike, motorcycle manufactured by Yamaha Motor Company since 1998. Sometimes abbreviated simply as R1, this model is just a classic. Anybody who doesn’t want to recognize this is, and allow me to put it bluntly, off the track. It has been used in the SuperBike World Championship, and features the starting line up this year as well. The road back to glory The last edition to come out from the Japanese producer can be traced back to 2012,…
The gift your family needs Firday, a company specialized in creating genuine clever advanced devices that usually float, introduced to us the Floatwing, a mobile house able to sustain itself on the floating line if used with imagination and treated with respect – should it become your home, well, this is up to you. From my perspective, it has a lot of possible ways to prove itself not only practical, but applied to your uttermost need of a pathway to freedom on a week-end after a successful deadline-locked project has ended this Friday – go and replenish your batteries, you…

It is a great garment for any modern garden, a compliment for your leisure time and a touch of good taste. Take a look at it, the fine quality design makes it undoubtedly an amazing gift you can…
Compact and easy to understand. This is how the missing link in our evolution should be researched at in a perfect world. Unfortunately, the world is not perfect, but it has got this one thing done right, the perfectly portable and utility-filled torch, which you can carry in your pocket, use it to light the oven or a campfire, giving life to a superfine centralized flame. The way it works makes it undisposable: you take one piece of a disposable lighter, put it in and watch it work its magic. The lighter’s lifespan becomes greatly increased by 60% if used…
Have you ever imagined a perfect life ? Not the kind of one that never ends, that is not perfection, that is simple boredom. I mean the life where you get to do what you want, what you like, what fits you. Your desires come on first, because you deserve it, who cares what others say ? You must be thinking where you can get such a life. I got the answer for you, it’s in the CRN’s J’ade yacht, a gem of watercraft brilliance and a superlative of classy living. It’s basically the grooming your soul needs.
The nervousness, the jitters, the feeling of unease, they all can make room in your mind when you make time in the evening available for a lady. It is somewhat normal and, although no exageration is accepted. A man is confindent, prepared and always ready to impress. But in order for that to happen, you need to make a good first impression, on the first date. A couple of words incorrectly phrased can ruin your work, so keeping things simple is always the easiest way. Pay attention to this, as you might understand why that girl back then, when you…
Madness is younger than ever Kawasaki launched the H2 model of street legal motorcycles in 2015, an objective and affirmative statement of power, a revitalization of the concept of having it. Kawasaki H2 is a “supercharged supersport” class of motorcycles, but not what we are here to talk about, because behind the streets, on the tracks, is where the true enraged question of authority lies ahead of you. Sould you challenge it, provoke it and hold a grip ? If you feel like tasting the power, embracing it and have it listening to your only command, the H2r model is…
Cool gadgets are always portable I found this while surfing the internet looking for the nearest located weather station from a town I was visiting last week. At first, I thought it is some kind of toy, designed only for kids, so I let it go. I gave it a look a couple of days later, back home, because the way it looked made me curious. Take a look at the picture: it’s intended to work in such a way that by only using a thermometer and a hygrometer it can tell you if the weather outside is friendly enough…
Nap Nap Time Sleep is a main part of your daily routine. A man spends 25 years of his life sleeping, and you should how they used to say: a man needs his 7 hours a day. Yes, they meant sleep. It is a way to restore energy, but also to improve attention, memory and capacity to understand what is going around you. Taking sleep for hours lost is a big mistake. Because it is so important, it has its own disfunctions. Some people find it hard to fall asleep, it has been a public health issue for so long,…
From big to just grand Since the inception of smart phones already a few years ago, it was quite clear that the shape of gadgets will be determined by new guidelines summarized in some simple keywords, like portable, pocket-sized, all-in-one, the goal being that some day we will carry everything we need in some simple, yet incredibly advanced one object. These days we talk more about “smart” objects, and cameras couldn’t be avoided too long. Without much further ado, we’d like you to meet the first multi-aperture computational camera. It has the quality of a top notch DSLR, with up…
A Question Of Size Shaving has become essential. For the past all time history of humanity. Beard and moustache have been a part of a man’s style and appearance since he understood what a difference they can make. But in our society they ended up to play an essential role. For example, think of a man going at a job interview, but now think of him at a music festival. The answer to how he should look is of course entirely up to him, but some etiquette rules have been written, giving him guidelines. A Kickstarter project team wants to…
Class demands respect Ferrari, the brand known all around the globe for its high-class, powerful yet so stylish models. These cars represent the dream to many, as they are built on limited editions, something that makes them so hard to get, which results them being so special and desired. It is this sports model you need if you want to turn heads around on the street. This time, we are here to present to you the F12 TDF model, a special name in their so rich and plentiful history.

I can’t wait for this winter to come. Probably you’re thinking I’m talking about Christmas, hot chocolate, presents, the first snow, New Year’s Eve or whatever comes along when this time of year arrives. Well, my dear reader, you are deeply mistaken, because I’m talking about my big toys for the cold season: the snowboard and the ski set. With them I fly and feel alive when everything around seems asleep for too long a time. But I got you covered too. I prepared a list of the top 10 ski resorts waiting for you to explore this winter: 1.…
Imagine the unspeakable A new Kickstarter project came up on our desks today, one that got me, as a winter sports enthusiast, quite excited. Projected by Forcite Helmet Systems, the Alpine helmet is the very first smart helmet to be built, leading to innovation in the spectrum of communication. What makes it so smart is the 4K, 120fps, 720p action camera strategically placed so that no harm can happen to it. Of course we talk about image stabilization or footage markers kind of ultra-high definition. Why Forcite™ Alpine To squash all question marks put in front of this gadget-kind-of-helmet, you…
Bar Rafaeli, hard to say her name and not smile. This extremely hot Israeli supermodel is one of our favorites here at HisPotion. We love her for so many reasons, but her amazing body and flawless face are probably near the top. Let’s just shutup and enjoy the magic. [adsense300mid]
Don’t be shy, her mother will love you. You’re a natural, and why not, her father will finally be at peace about what her precious little princess decided upon her future. You’re a great guy, and remember she put faith in you, just enough to let you meet her family, even if you are the bad guy, whom she usually would’ve fled with. Don’t worry, everything should be fine. So, still feeling nervous ? Ok, here’s a little list of the things not to say at the dinner and more. 1. “You look way prettier than in the pictures.” This…
Style meets quality Have a look at some pictures of it first: Well, you might not recognize the object at first, and that’s because you might have never seen something like this before. Yes, it’s a speaker, but to me it looks like that evil character from a very old video game Day Of The Tentacle, which is great, because I loved that with all my soul. I love this design concept too – it’s not only very useful, the shape gives it the possibility to spread the sound in a better fashion, resulting in a feeling unmatched by anything you’ve heard before…
A real man’s status is of course determined by the things he’s done, the way he acts and the way he talks. But there is more to that. A man is shaped by his experiences, by the things he’s seen. We prepared a list for your best October travel destinations. Take a peek, make your own mind, and choose accordingly, you will not be disappointed.
Have a little chat with Pebble Time Round, the new smartwatch coming out from the Kickstarter esquadron bearing the same calling. On September 23rd 2015, they announced it on their blog, calling them “A new face for Pebble”. At a first glance, you might notice the neat display, the chic color combination, a playful demonstration of style.
I tend to not let myself easily impressed. It’s not in my nature, I believe, because if one does so, he might end up finding himself unable to enjoy the real big things. These special moments come in different forms and shapes. Some are objects, simple or complicated, big or small, all finding their way through my soul’s maze – admit it, everyone was attached to something when they were kids. Yes, even you, my present reader.
Watches are a huge part of a modern man outfit. I mean, the watch should be the first thing somebody takes a note at when looking at you, not the suit. The suit is only the frist thing to be seen, but the wach is the one that makes the difference. The perfume is for feel, the watch is for touch. Watches come in various forms of expression, some are pure handwork, style and class, while others are genuine utility, a simple yet so wide manifest of human intellect and imagination. [adsense300gray] They have evolved from a simple tool to a…
Quick facts check first: ferrofluid is a liquid that possesses the capability to become strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. It has been around for some years, but not until this presentation have I seen it put to such mesmerizing use. The creators call Ferrolic the place where digital meets nature. Ferrolic is a digital clock, which displays the digits using ferrofluid on a magnetic field. The technology is somehow comparable to a aquarium in which the fluid runs around. In the back, strong electromagnets let the magic happen, and the liquid presents itself with different shapes,…
Light your room with the latest aluminum tree mimic chandelier, in my opinion, a piece of inspiring craftwork coming out from the need of understanding the balance between our modern westernized civilization and the wave calling for a return back to basic principles of living. It is said that for a man to fulfill his meaning on Earth, he must have a kid, build a house and plant a tree. Well, the tree side of this triangle is covered by the guys at Keha3, a design management company from Estonia. [adsense300gray] The lighter resembles the shape of a tree’s boughs,…
Have you ever found yourself lacking proper light when taking care of a job ? Be it outside, for example, when camping, at night, or when stuck with the car in the middle of nowhere or inside, while running down some chores. Nokero is on the way with the help you need, their W100 solar light lamp is a powerful tool to match the words. Weatherproof, it can be mounted on the side of a building, a fence, a pole, the side of your car etc. The ABS framing of it shall maintain its integrity no matter the conditions in…
The team from ESCAPE, creators of ESCAPE Classic, come forward with a new model inspired by what they say to be more than 20 years of crafting experience in the world of tiny houses. The model is called Traveler a house on wheels, aimed at you, perfect for destinations too far from home, yet so near to it. There is no joking around with these guys, every piece being hand made from scraps, so I wouldn’t call it prefabricated, no, there is something more about thise one, and I can feel it. [adsense300gray] Of course the space has maximized utilty…
Welcome to TetraPOD, the very first enclosed trailer that can turn into a boat which you can find around, whether you talk North America or I would take the guess and say the whole globe. This trick, from one form to the other can be completed in less than a minute, take that into account, because time is precious in our world, and for a modern man, living in modern times, doing things in timely manner is not only an achievement, is an obligation. [adsense300gray]The manufacturer came up with two different versions of TetraPOD – the on road and the…
Two brothers coming out from Big Sur, the sparsely populated area of the Central Coast of California represent what I like to call design by intuition. Together they formed SVEGLIO (translated as “I awaken” from Italian – a name chose in accordance with their initative to donate 10% of all their income to community-based events and classes that awaken the creative!) a brand aiming to bring balance in our lives, always on the move. The product in discussion today is Volo, a bed without legs, a chair without backrests, a hammock without ropes. It is a very fine piece of…
Microsoft came up with the big idea to link all Android, Apple and Windows devices with a keyboard, accessible to every user, like me, that has issues with writing on a touch pad at several hours long sessions three or four times a week. It is a ultra-thin piece of technology, only 5mm thick can be easily hidden inside of a purse, bag or, who knows, even a pocket. The foldable design is innovative yet very simple. Bluetooth 4.0 takes care of the connectivity side of the job, thus the utility is increased with a more safe reliable technology and…
Nico Gerard is a luxury brand that continues family tradition of innovations, their timepieces are modern classics crafted in Switzerland. This is how the creators of Skyview Pinnacle present themselves, and the new concept coming out from them is inspired by the bright color of the summer sky, relaxing, giving you the calmness of the summit in the Alps – but wait for it, there is something more. I find this watch a true piece of art. You don’t get to see such a beauty each and every day, so try and enjoy it, you might find yourself captured by…
A new Android platform terminal is now available to reserve. Coming out from Turing robotic industries, the telephone is coming with Liquidmorphium™, an amorphous liquid metal alloy. What does this actually mean you ask, well, the device feels like glass when touched, but it’s something more stylish, like when you touch a mirror; let’s admit, this is something new. [adsense300gray] But it gets interesting when you drop it on concrete, from example. Then it’s not glass, it’s metal. Something tough, and I mean resilient. How resilient ? They say tougher than steel, but the telehpone is still unreleased, so until…
Nano-housing might be the future. I mean, there is this spacing problem that comes with the overpopulation. But let’s try and make this a cool thing. Living smaller is actually neat. It’s not only some hipster way to go around living the daily life, it also gives you the option to have a utilization for each and every inch of your place, thus maximizing the role your home should play in your life. A company coming out of South Africa came with the Idaldla, a pre-fabricated nano-home. [adsense300gray] So far, nothing new one might say, as nano-homing is already in…
Guys at Olympus come with what they brag to be the next big thing in your shooting game. I talk shooting pictures, of course. Olympus AIR is a new concept, open platform camera that pairs your Smartphone to a lens camera. So you got the intelligence, the flexibility and the features of a gadget combined with the quality of an edgy interchangeable lens camera. The big this is, you don’t need it to be attached to your phone all the time, you can hold it in one hand, and with the other to get the shot. Well, people, this is…
Social media has become a large chunk of our social experience overall. I guess twenty years ago (or even many more less) people couldn’t have understood the principles of having your own virtual self, somehow separated from the real you, but nowadays we take this as a fact, like it was here with us forever since. Well, so far what is happening is that when we want to share something with our virtual relatives we look in front of the camera, we smile big, we press shoot and take a capture. [adsense300gray] The whole process that’s coming after is where…
We all need a heroes in our lives. For me, the chef at my favourite restaurant is the main hero in my life at this moment. But there are many others, because heroes come in different shapes and forms. For me a hero is someone that puts a smile on my face in difficult times, or someone who’s been there, with me, through thick and thin. But these champs I’m here to talk to you about make up for their parts lot way easier: they just rest their palms on some books, but be aware they could do so many…
If you have ever dreamt of having your own tree house, well, this is not going to quite get you one, but it might simplify the process. Let me introduce to you the CanopyStair, yes, in one word only, because it’s better for the defining the item which promises to deliver a good time for anyone looking to spend time out there, in close touch with mother nature. You can set it up with ease, without the use of any tools. What this item actually does is forming a spiral staircase around a tree trunk. Now, I guess it has…
AM 37 is the name for the new Quintessence yachts’ models coming in two different versions: the AM 37 and AM 37S. They both look beautfiul while having enough to differ one from another. There is the top speed, one being at a top of 44 knots, what we could call a very refined model, while the second tops at 52 knots having the looks of special powerboat.They’re classy, like every yacht of course, bringing a touch to any personal luxury collection one might thing of having. And by that I mean that they lack nothing. [adsense300gray] The design is…
Hold your breath, only partly because of what I’m about to tell you in the following lines, but mainly because of the place where the following lines are situated. And I talk about altitude. Some lads teamed up and formed what they call Natura Vive or what I call some kind of organization made to bring us awesome ways to spend time in nature. Their latest idea is Skylode adventure suites, located in the Sacred Valley of Cuzco, Peru, as a very exclusive type of “resort” and I mean that word – exclusive – very exactly, because only you and…
[adsense300gray]Let’s make introductions: ladies and gentlemen, it’s my pleasure to present to you, Camp Champ or some germans’ idea on how to improve the overall experience of tripping. We talk trips to the parents’ house, should that be very far away, in the forest or simply tripping in the backyard to grill a barbecue. It is like the classy and elegant minibar, only better, as you can store up tools, like knives, tablespoons spices and of course, the hardware, from frying pans to trays to kettles; also, it features a trash can, in which you can put a bag thus…
The guys at SOVRN Republic Brand released some months ago their latest model in the multiple use backpacks industry, called the drifter. It’s a travel bag. and the first thing that comes up when you have a first glance it’s the deisgn, something between raw and classic, it features high quality canvas using split leather motives on the front. Having a 30 litres capacity, measuring 18.5″ x 11.8″ x 6.7″ I have to give this to it, it looks awesome, I don’t think there is a better looking one out there right now, which is important, given the fact that…
I thought of this a long time ago. What if a keyboard could give you the possibility to shortcut your way to desktop applications or let you handle the interface of your computer in a simplified yet stylish manner. I heard about macros, I know what you may think, that this happened a long time ago already. No, this is not the case. Macros could be hard to remember (when you have many of them), difficult to set up and at times they don’t give you the efficiency you are looking for. Sonder Design comes up with the maximum maneuverability…
Compact and portable. These are the words I’d use to describe Roccbox, a new stone bake oven made available for us, a little piece of ingeniosity which can measure its utility whener you decide to leave town, knowing that wherever you go, your luggage doesn’t have to be the maine issue at hand. It takes no more than 2kg, measuring 53cm in length, 47cm in height and 41cm in width. You can propel it using wood or gas, and a smoker is promised to be released soon. The time required for that action is said to be somewhere around 15…
Bateriser is a clever concept we found on our desks today. These guys from a company called Batteroo make us the irresistible proposal of extending the life span of the simple AA, AAA, C & D batteries, thus saving us a lot of time spent recharing them or buying new ones. So the whole idea is that Bateriser makes a complete overhaul in managing the capacity of a battery, using some delivery mechanism device made of thin stainless steel. You can have that put inside the socket attached to the battery, as it takes less enough space to neatly fit…
I always found amphibian vehicles interesting. They are multi-purpose, they get the job done. You won’t hear them complaining, as your car would if you don’t wash it, or your motorbike if you don’t change one thing here, another one over there. No, the amphibians take you there when you need it. Gibbs Amphitrcuks come with this proposal: to give you the possibility to ride waters and shores alike with their Humdinga and Phibian models, all while not as dashing as one might expect, but having much needed utility in many different conditions. [adsense300gray] Humding is designed to be the…
Solartab, a kickstatrer project that made it through, to see the light of day, is the newest innovation in the matter of renewable energy used to keep your phone, tablet or any other gadget you use up an running. Featuring a pretty simple yet cute design, the charger is thought to store energy inside a built-in battery (capacity listed as around of 13.000 mAh) of its own and give it back to you should you need it, either day or night. [adsense300gray] The cover is cleverly made so that it can be opened or closed depending on your need for…
Discretion is always elegant, I know, but having it done in a true audiophile gadget can actually make it even more. Take my words for what they are, this pair of headphones represent the truth behind them. You can place them on your head and remain in your world for how long you need. They have some amazing specs, although I must admit the design lacks in some compartments. [adsense300gray] Oppo used the best materials available: plush padding materials combined with some metallic, yet light framework, tested to endure some mechanical difficulties. Also, they look and feel comfortable, which is…
Michael Schumacher, the greatest Formula One driver to have ever existed lived his career and his life circling between being a magnificent racer and a man of modern times. It is more than having the best lap counters or the number of pole-positions. The number of titles, the victories, the records always had a key word in their definition: innovation. Accustomed to having the time summed up as simple, plain numbers, in the form of minutes spent completing each lap, he wanted more. This is how Royal Oak concept laptimer by Audemars Piguet became a reality: in the shape of…
Playing golf is a touch of class. Golf is more than a sport, it’s a complex of attitude and grace, a mix of patience and skill. You can have a business meeting anywhere, but say you need to make a business meeting look special – well, you might find yourself in a shortage of possible locations to do it, because you need more than simply space, you need atmosphere. But I am not here to lecture about things you already know, I am here to tell you about how to make that easier, getting from hole 1 to 18 easier…
Riding is never easy. Riding is about how you get things to look the way you want them to. Riding takes time to learn and master, always striving for improvement, knowing you can always perfect what defines you. That is what you should aim for. Never giving up on what makes you feel the better version of yourself – this is my definition for manliness. The R nine T custom made BMW motorbike is the topic of my monologue. Guys at Deus Ex Machina call it the Heinrich Manuever, a perfect name for this so fine piece of craftsmanship and…
Decorating the inside of an office is a task difficult for most of us, especially because we want it to look modern, yet professional, simple yet elegant. The thing is some forget that you need more than expensive furniture, like odd-shaped desks or couches in order to fill the space – as we forget that this is just the basic stuff. What comes after is equally important. You want your workspace to be attractive for visitors and comfortable for your own good – and we have some good recommendation right here, the Cubic aquarium designed specially for jellyfish. These majestic…
All industrial districts slowly faded away, replaced by the newer yet so dominant office buildings making their name downtown of every major city around the world. But what happened to the space they once dully occupied ? Well, most of it was remodelled to accommodate the needs of every respective neighbourhood, but some of these buildings remained on their feet, only to find themselves out of any sort of reason for existing. So what’s the whole idea ? Home design experts took their creativity and tried to find a way to convert these architectural-nowdays-nonsense to become responsible members of the…
Now, there are men who don’t wish to take risks, who always prefer play safe and go through life without getting noticed. I’m not saying that is bad, I’m just saying that you don’t want to find yourself in that category. Because those guys miss all the fun. Because on the other side, you can find men that don’t pay attention to this kind of things.
Good barbecues are not simply made of perfectly grilled meat. They come in package with the company of one’s family or friends, a nice day in full relax mood and a list of things not to worry about. It’s a mixture nonetheless, nobody has a standard recipe for that. So as far as we are concerned, it is impossible to tell you what makes a perfect barbecue or picnic, and it would be unreasonable for us to think that we can. But be sure we can tell you what can ruin such an occasion: having nothing cool to drink. If…
Beer in Stockholm has its very own tradition, traceable back to the days when trading ale was considered one of the best ways to get your name going, as beer was not just a mere alcoholic beverage. Nowdays things have changed a little, in the way that you have to travel outside, say you are looking for a brewery, but a sneaker store there, called Sneakerstuff wanted to rebrand the old trademark of the port town by collaborating with Adidas and Stockholm Brewing Co., thus creating a very special edition of Adidas Originals, called the brewery pack. It comes up…
Working at home has become a viable option in our times, being the perfect way to take care of business while getting the comfort you need. You have the technology now, so the need to distance yourself from home is no more required. But this method of making yourself available for your kids and your dog has its disadvantages, the greatest of which is that it takes room to accommodate all the stuff you need: the papers, the printers, the desk; you name it. Also, there are times when everyone around you has to be silent, in order to give…
There are a few options when it comes down to giving a proper answer when asked which accessory is the manliest of all. I know, the perfect suit, the matching car, the detail of your business card can do the job at times, the way you wear them around, joggling between one another can make you look in touch with your masculinity. But what happened to the pride of being a man, the urge of …
Renewable energy is the future, and everybody must have realized that by now. It’s in the news, in school teachings, documentaries, pretty much everywhere you turn your head around. Being on the green side of the spectrum will become a definition for the modern man, and this is for many reasonable motives. This is what Smartflower pop is for – the world’s first all-in-one solar system, so that you can leave a green mark for yourself on this planet’s brighter horizon. Just think about it: as the sun make his way on the sky, smartflower pop unfolds itself automatically, releasing…
Planning for going on a trip is always made difficult by the room required inside your luggage in order to accommodate all the gear you think you need, but that might actually end up never used. This can be the drama for many of us who want to spend time away from the crushing city routine, no matter how far that is. Well, this is not the case for the treo chair by Therm-a-rest. [adsense300gray] This little piece of equipment can be stored in the side pocket of your backpack and trust me, you will find the perfect use for…
Humans can survive no less than three weeks without any food intake, but water ? Water is different. You can live up to no more than three days not tasting it, so I find that pretty essential not as much for a lifestyle, as for a life at all. So how can we adapt this need to our other fundamentals, such as always being on the run ? Let’s face it, we all hate it when we have to carry plastic made water bottles all around, using space and looking somewhat distasteful, as it harms our environment. The answer could…
People often associate innovation with light, and any bright idea with a light bulb. Well so does Flyte, only they wanted to take it to the next level. The whole idea of Flyte is to combine magnetic levitation with induction. The mastermind behind this project was always fascinated by the way different objects can rise and revolve around thin air. He put his mind to work and came up with this: using a so-called base, crafted from a combination of oak, ash and walnut, all coming from sustainable sources, the light bulb can be lifted up a few inches away…
Can someone reveal before my eyes the one who has never dreamt of flying? I ask, because I can imagine there is no more than one sole sad soul. The problem with Icarus was he got his self made wings of some questionable legitimacy of truth and usefulness. What we got here for you, instead, is a cool drone to listen by your commands, when you feel like exploring the vastness of the blue wild yonder. Someone might say it is not you who’s flying, but that would be nothing more than a lie. You are exactly where your eyes…
