CarChip Pro

2008-10-07T18:06:00.000-07:00

Ok, now once you install this chip in your don't think you're vin disel and get yourself pulled over. This chip doesn't actually speed your car up, but does let you know a lot about it. Think of it as a little midget mechanic sitting in your engine letting you know what's up. (It probably will make friends with the one running on the wheel turning your car). But seriously this sucker does a lot including

Calculate gas mileage
View/Reset engine diagnostic trouble codes (check-engine light)
Provides individual graphs and summary reports
Records/shows extreme acceleration/braking
Automatic accident log with last 20 seconds speed data before impact (I would only use this one if you weren't driving like an asshole at the time of your accident...)
Complete trip details including time/date, distance traveled, speed (1- or 5-second intervals)
Easy installation: plug in under the dash, drive your vehicle, then download the data to your PC

Summer Series: GTX Limited Jet Ski

2008-05-02T08:02:00.000-07:00

The GTX Limited is what they call the Aston Martin of Jet Skis...ok not really because there are ones that cost a lot more, but it's still pretty sweet. Tricked out with depth gauges, recessed cargo cleats (whatever the hell that means), mooring cables, a removable dry bag and even a waterproof cellphone case it's got everything a Jet Ski needs. Top it all off with a 4-stroke 215 HP Rotax engine (making it one of the beastliest Jet Ski's around) and you've got all the makings of some sweet summer watersports.

If you're like me and live on iTunes, then this is for you. I'm assuming that you already have your computer hooked into a good sound system. If not, we'll cover that in another post. However, if so, this external little gem will make everything from your computer sound clearer and better. Ever get that weird crackly noise from your computer's hard drive spinning or whatever it is coming through your speakers? Yeah, no more of that. This sucker can do 5.1 as well as make stereo sound a shitload better. With the "3D Sound option" and the "Crystalizer" this thing truly rocks. Finally I can listen to my Clay Akin in crystal clear surround!

OMG. I didn't know anyone was still making T-Shirts of Jeb Bush! Ok, I'm ashamed for using omg, but it seemed appropriate. Don't be scared to rep your brother from another pre-historic mother. Silverbacks are bad-ass, and not to mention the largest living primates around. Or maybe someone just made that up on Wikipedia. I don't know, I don't do real "research" anymore since the invention of the internet.

Proxsafe Digital Key Management

Ugh! House in the Hamptons, Condo in South Beach, my NYC loft...I mean who could keep up with all those keys! God forbid I look like a janitor or a prison cell guard with one of those huge circle key rings (although those are actually pretty cool). Either way, now there's a way to keep the keys to your lavish abodes as well as your 17 souped up cars all in one place, securely and without confusion.

The ProxSafe actually not only keeps your keys out of the hands of burglars and evil ninja assasins alike, but also organizes everything with an electronic system that tracks which keys are which, and where they are. Pretty Sweet. Now if I could just find some way to keep those ninjas out of my fridge...

802.11n - yet another permutation of the alphabet attached to meaningless numbers....but what it means to you is blazing wireless with easy to use connectivity. The airport express will link up everything from printers to stereos, gaming systems...yeah, so basically everything with a wireless connection.

Scotch and Soda, a Netherlands based fashion company seriously makes some of the best outwear around, and they love detachable hoods. This thing could make Steve Buscemi look attractive,...although it wouldn't give you the ability to be as awesome. The price points are high, but invest. It is absolutely worth it.

In Treatment - FREE!

2008-03-14T08:55:00.000-07:00

As you may or may not know, HBO has a new show called "In Treatment". Apparently they are concerned about large barriers to viewership because since the show is on 5 days a week (30 mins), they want to make sure people have enough access to the episodes to be able to get past the large time commitment.

I happened to catch this show randomly on HBO once, and I was hooked. It's such an invasive look into people's lives and the issues they talk about are things that normal people would most certainly not feel comfortable talking about unless they felt they were in a "safe place" - like a therapist's office. It is strangely engrossing, and a little bit addictive - not so much for the character development, but more so because of the intimacy of it all and the fact that you can literally see the therapist talking his patients into seeing things from his point of view.

Now on Amazon Unbox and HBO.com

UPDATE: It turns out only the first 3 weeks are free. Proceed with caution. You will become an addict.
