Snow Shredder


In case you haven't noticed, the northeast is buried in snow. It's starting to piss me off, but if I had one of these things I think I would be praying for snow. I don't know if you'll hit Clark Griswold speeds in this beast, but a sled with a headlight sounds pretty good to me. Scoop one from Quirky before the next blizzard. You're welcome, east coast.

Flexible Love


This has to be the best piece of furniture I have seen since the last one I posted. To sum it up, it is a chair made mostly of cardboard that is for 1 when it is pushed together and can seat 16 when you open it up. Not much else to say on this one. Check it on the other side.

Moistly Grilled Cast Iron Grill Humidifier


This kind of stuff is what I hate to see online because it reminds me of how I don't have a grill and how I wish I did. The Moistly Grilled Cast Iron Grill Humidifier keeps meats moist while you're grilling it. All you do is pour your favorite liquid flavoring agent into the humidifier and then grill away. For example, I would dump half a Guinness into this thing and dump the other half into my belly, it's that easy.

Chicken Ark


I saw this little gem this morning and thought of my sister immediately. She and her husband are into being eco friendly and I could see them having a few birds roaming around to pop out some eggs. This is the hen's equivalent to the playhouse you always wanted to have growing up. Check all the amenities after the jump.

Underground Signs


If you're from the Big Apple, or like to think you are, here's the perfect addition to your apartment. You can make your own or purchase actual stop names from the NYC subway. These are okayed by the MTA so you don't need t worry about being cuffed when your landlord does a once over in your crib. Check it on the other side.

iGo Power Smart Tower


If you didn't know, 20% of your monthly electric bill comes from stuff that is plugged in, but is not in use. My sister keeps a lot of stuff unplugged that she isn't using, it's great for her bills, but confusing for people heating up a slice of pizza on their lunch break from painting the house. So I've heard, anyway. Here's an alternative to plugging and unplugging all the time. The iGo Power Smart Tower has 8 outlets, 4 of which power down devices not using power. This saves 85% of the energy usually spent while on standby. Pick one or the other, if you don't know, now you know.

Cardboard Taxidermy


Cardboard Safari is the maker of these recycled trophies that come in the form of deer, rhino, bison, or moose. Scoring one of these will save you from people bitching about how it's bad to hunt or idiots asking, "How fast was that running to get stuck in the wall like that?".

Do Hit Chair


I would love to see you find a chair that is more fun to make than this one. The people at Marijn van der Poll have created a chair that arrives as a big metal cube that you shape into whatever you want using the included smashing device. This is definitely ghetto chic, where the hood and high end furniture meet. Also, no word on the comfort level of the jagged, metal chair.

P.S. check out other stuff on the website linked above, freshness approved.

ESPN 3D

You probably heard already, but ESPN is launching a new channel called ESPN 3D. Obviously, they are going to show games in 3D starting with the World Cup in June. To see the games you will need a set of those fashionable 3D glasses and a 3D capable TV, which none of us have yet.

Kwak Beer


So after I posted the info on the Sam Adams Utopias beer I got a message on the Face from one of my international connects in Spain about a sweet beer I should check out. Kwak, is a Belgian beer made by the people at Bosteels Brewery. Why such a weird glass you ask? According to their website, it was made so that it could be hung a mail coach while delivering mail. Soon after a breathalyzer was invented and the first DUI was given. Thanks for the heads up Ali G.

Sam Adams Utopias


I used to think myself something of a beer connoisseur, but not after seeing the Sam Adams Utopias. This stuff is meant to be sipped at room temp, and lucky for us 2009's batch is the strongest yet. Weighing in at 27% abv., this stuff will knock you on your backside pretty quickly. Not only is this stuff strong (as in strongest in the world), it is pretty rare too, only 53 barrels are made every year. This stuff would not be appropriate for "pouring one out", among other things.

Looking for the perfect gift for your boozehound buddy, in my case Lyle. Look no further than the Patron 4 Bottle Gift Set packed with four 375 mL bottles. Because of this boxed set of various tequilas you don't have to decide which way your friends would like to get lit.

Brooklyn Brew Shop Kits

The Brooklyn Brew Shop Kits let you get that microbrew taste from right in your own home. Specialty flavors are available for the holidays too, ones that might be good are Apple Crisp Ale or A Well Made Tripel. If you're thinking this is probably like those Mr. Beer kits you can scoop, you're way off, reviews say they're in different leagues.

Incase Combo Charger


Incase has been killing the iPhone accessory game for a little while now and they just put out another killer product. The Combo Charger gives you both a wall plug in feature for at home and a cigarette lighter function for when you hit the road. Grab one of these the next time you lose that little cube piece and have to charge strictly on your computer, or maybe grab one just incase. Sorry i had to.

Ork Posters


The people at Ork Posters are doing some awesome work that lets people show off their roots. They've created designs for people reppin all kinds of hoods nationwide in a variety of colors; and not only that, they have gone down my road and done some anatomical stuff too. To show some love for my international reader(s) in Barcelona I created the one above.

Ponoko

Have you ever seen the perfect piece of furniture, except for that little thing sticking out? Now you can get rid of the stuff you don't like and make your own original piece. Check out Ponoko to save a trip to Ikea.

BrewTender


If you enjoy boozing but hate walking to the fridge, this little guy is for you. The KegWorks BrewTender holds up to 80 oz. (a little more than a six pack) while being kept cold by a removable ice chamber. Need a cool glass to pour it into? Try this one.

Cardboard Bedsheets


Send mom and dad a picture message of these on your bed and you'll be sure to score a check in the mail within the week. Though they're not actually made of cardboard, the image is printed in the fabric to ensure an authentic homeless look. To sweeten the deal even more, 30% of the profits from these go to a UK charity for homeless people. See for yourself...
