Logitech Harmony 1000 Universal Remote Is On Its Way
October 11 2006
The universal remote is not new, and neither is the version that is programmable, able to handle all your components, and features a touchpad and/or large LCD screen. What is new is true acceptance in the home from the discriminating A/V user. Previous offerings were always too bulky and...

Steckling Balcony Planter
September 28 2006
I like this Steckling outdoor planter as a small container gardening option for space-starved urbanites. The planter fits like a clamp on the railing of a balcony, with two soil reservoirs that offer ample...

Earnest Cut and Sew
September 21 2006
I just realized that Earnest Sewn [wiki profile] now has a small line of non-denim apparel, including a few tees, sweaters, and jackets. The stuff is robustly priced, but, at least in the case of this McClane Herringbone Jacket, it's also really nice. The 100%...

Argyle Classic
September 22 2006
Fall is quickly bearing down on us. If you're going to have to play the layering game, then you may as well do it with style. This Banana Republic Argyle V-Neck Sweater, made from 100% merino wool, should help. Too much argyle can quickly become stodgy and pretentious, but this offering walks the...

Bi-Level Coffee Table
September 22 2006
Most of us can’t afford real “designer” furniture throughout our entire abodes, and that’s why you’ve got to love pieces like West Elm’s Bi-level coffee table. It’s designer-looking at knockdown pricing. The wood table features a dark chocolate stain and...

Unorthodox Taxidermy
September 20 2006
I've always been amazed by taxidermy, partly because of the detailed rendering of a once-living animal, partly because of how creepy I find the idea of killing an animal just to put it on your wall. Considering, as well, how expensive traditional taxidermy can be, I like the option presented by...

The Pod Camera Platform
September 20 2006
The issue of a shaky camera hand is becoming less and less pressing as anti-shake technologies become more sophisticated and widespread. But anyone who has humored the photos I take while covering trade shows knows that an unsteady hand can still be readily apparent in much point-and-shoot...

Quiksilver Inertia Sweatshirt
September 18 2006
Eventually (assuming it hasn't already happened) the camo, the clashing colors, and the crazy, abstract prints that have been defining hoodies for a while now are going to be too much for most of us to bear. The retreat to the basic hoody will be swift, but we're going to quickly realize that we...

Fish Oil Shockingly Good for You
September 18 2006
A report just published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine suggests that increased intake of fish oil--specifically the omega-3 fatty acids contained therein--may be a key factor in lowering the fatal risk of sudden cardiac death. The research project, which brought together data from...

All the Kings Men Aircraft Seatbelt Laptop Bags
September 15 2006
Much like seatbelts in American cars from the '60s and '70s, seatbelts on airplanes have a durable, slightly overstated construction that looks and feels great. Australian bag manufacturer All the Kings Men seems to have had the same thought,...
