Tumi Alpha Lightweight International Carry-On


For the business or leisure traveler who appreciates the virtues of "traveling light," this is the ideal case. It weighs 25%-35% less than comparable cases and offers a roomy interior within a convenient, international carry-on size. Made from Tumi's exclusive, ultra-tough FXT ballistic nylon, the case features a unique, soft construction design that keeps the bag light. There are organizer pockets inside and out, a telescoping handle and smooth-rolling wheels. Link: $495

K-Swiss Classic

K-Swiss is relaunching the Classic which was the very first leather tennis shoe. I loved this show. In fact it was the first shoe as a kid I begged my parents to buy me. K-Swiss Classics and pegged pants were fire. The new Classic has also been improved with better leather, a more comfortable fit, and a much lighter overrall design. Link: $70

Jaspé Jersey V-neck T-Shirt



Everyone that knows me, knows that I love muted colors. So as part of the summer staple I highly recommmedn the Jaspe T-Shirt from JCrew. Whether you're wearing it as an undershirt, underneath a jacket, or just by itself, the Jaspé jersey V-neck T-Shirt ($32) is timelss. Made from a twisted cotton yarn using a special weaving technique, the Jaspé has a heathered feel, with a not-too-deep v-neck cut and elegant grey color. Great add on to the wardrobe.



Left Right Left Right Left by Coldplay

A new live Coldplay album? Who cares. A new free live Coldplay album? Ok Whatever. As a gift/way to suck up to their fans, Coldplay is giving away its new live album Left Right Left Right Left. With a track listing that includes "Clocks," "Viva La Vida," and "Fix You." I am not a fan, but as a free download, it's worth a listen and realizing how lame they are.

Quiksilver & Takashi Kumagai = Fire

Quiksilver and Takashi Kumagai (legendary designer of Porter) have teamed up on what has to be one of the coolest collaborations this year. The capsule collection features clothing and bags inspired by the surf scene of the 70s and 80s. A couple of styles to look out for are the M65-style jacket and the red blazer. Link / Source

Nintendo Wii Punch Out



My wife and I love the Wii and the Wii sports version of boxing is just great, but you gotta pick up Punch-Out!! ($47). This modern remake of everyone's favorite NES boxing game stays true to the original, with players in control of Little Mac, fighting classic opponents such as Glass Joe, King Hippo, Von Kaiser, and more. While the new motion-sensitive controls are awesome, even better is the ability to turn that controller 'round and use the same control patterns as on the NES. Fight!

Pick yours up here: LINK

If you dont have a Wii, Amazon has them in stock you can get it here: LINK

Amazon Kindle DX "Super Size Me"

Amazon is going the bigger is better route with the Kindle DX ($489). With a 9.7-inch paper-like e-ink screen (2.5x bigger than the standard Kindle), and measuring just over 1/3 of an inch thin (like a magazine), the new DX is definitely tall and slim. The new Kindle DX also gets auto-rotation (read in portrait or landscape mode), better image and photo display, native PDF support, 4GB of storage (good for up to 3,500 books), wireless 3G access, and a handy text-to-speech feature.

I just pre-ordered mine via Amazon. Link Here

2010 Mercedes E-Class is going to be cheaper!

I just saw that Mercedes-Benz USA has announced that the price of its new 2010 E-Class sedan will actually drop by nearly $5,000 with the introduction of the new model next month. The current E350 base sells for $54,075, the new model, with a V6 engine and rear-wheel-drive, carries a list price of $49,475...or $4,600 less.

Of course you can option it up and more to the price, and Mercedes has tons of goodies you can add on, but this represents almost a 10% reduction in price.

I dont know how I feel about this new model. I feel like its become more generic with this new model, but its still a solid car from a solid company

Nike Air Yeezy Release Reminder!!




Tomorrow marks the release of the second colorway in the Nike Air Yeezy. Having seen how hectic the first drop was, we wouldn’t expect anything less from this hot black/pink release, which is arguably the most highly scouted of the three scheduled colorways. Various spots already have lineups, so this is just a friendly reminder to not miss out on one of the hottest Nike releases of 2009. Commonwealth is doing a lottery. I however will be standing outside ready to jump the first EMO skinny jean kid to walk out of the store.

Rayban Outdoorsman



Rayban is Classic and the Outdoorsman is just timeless. But now Rayban has decided to flip it up with new color options, Ray Ban's got a new flavor of the classic that should appease to your need of color. This version of the Outdoorsman has orange accents and orange mirror lenses surrounded by a chrome rimmed frame. Link: $140
