Review: Sennheiser HD 558
While Sennheiser doesn’t have the celebrity branding certain companies like Monster has, it maintains the reputation of being one of the best headset manufacturers on the market. The HD 558 is a pretty good example of why the company can still give its competition a run for its money; after all, Sennheiser’s been in the [...]
A Real Page Turner
I get a real kick out of this. A simple sip of coffee starts a chain reaction that leads to the turning of a page. It would be incredibly frustrating to have to set all that back up again after the first page. We have Joseph Herscher to thank for this incredibly complex contraption.

Enough to make me think, Man, I need to get to know this girl, even if on a purely aesthetic basis. I was struck by the haunting quality of her [...] >>
Jason Ierace – Gun For Hire
Finding cool stuff online is like making rapid fire but unrelated connections in your brain – one second you’re thinking about puppies and the next you’re contemplating life on Mars.

CYEOMS by Crystal Yeomans
This is a tale of two cities; a story of lovers and 2×4′s, nervous break downs and self discovery. But above all, this is a story about fashion. I met her at a party, somewhere between drunkeness and floating, but I didn’t forget about Crystal Yeomans, the designer behind CYEOMS. Crystal is a ‘reverse-rebel’; both [...] >>
