Ear Force HPA2 Headphones

Whether it's a rowdy midnight WoW raid in your paper-thin apartment, or watching a movie that she's not interested in- sometimes you just have to wear headphones. We've all been there. And if you're going to wear headphones at home, earbuds simply don't cut it. That's why I have these.

Whether I'm watching movies or playing games, I need to know where the action is. That's what 5.1 channel surround sound is for. The soundproofing and comfort are well balanced. I can hear if my phone rings, but that doesn't mean that this thing is falling off my head either.

These'll get your head in the game.

P.S. Watches - Time to add some color to the wardrobe





It's that little splash of color that makes Paul Smith designs so fabulous. Here's an example of how this carries over to his watches. Strangely, you'll have to visit the Japan P.S. site to view most of these.

Paul Smith Dip Dye Miller Broque Shoes $362


Despite the fact that you have to be skinny, British, and a chain smoker to look good in Paul Smith clothes, I can't help but love his designs. Paul Smith makes pastels cool for men.

You have to be a bit brave to put on a pair of shoes like this, but broque is in, and despite what most of my cube mates tell me, you can consider colors beyond black and brown for dress shoes. I respect the man that pull these off.

Weider Adjustable Kettlebell $199



The standard kettlebell tends to invoke images of massive, russian weightlifters in tights hanging around government sponsored cold war gyms. Guys like Mr. Clean use the kettlebell, a big ass iron weight attached to a sturdy handle that you swing around and lift. Kettlebell enthusiasts regard the full body motion most exercises require as the ultimate workout.

Because there are so many different lifts, you generally require a full rack of weights. The Weider solves this problem by creating an adjustable kettlebell. The fact that it looks like a space-age hand grenade or could actually be used as a weapon should someone try to break into your home gym, only makes this thing, that much cooler.
