• I Wrote a Pickup Book!

    Note: If you’re new to this site and don’t know about my history as a professional pickup artist, read this story first. Ahoy! One of the reasons I haven’t been posting here like crazy since getting fired is that I’ve been working day and night on my new book about pickup, called Make Her Chase…

  • Microtech Troodon Tactical Knife

    One day I was watching 24 when I saw that Jack Bauer, played by Keifer Sutherland, had the coolest knife ever. It was all black and with a press of a button a blade shot straight out of the handle until it was fully extended. I may not do many (ok, any) tactical things like…

  • Massive Action

    Have you ever noticed that almost no one actually does anything? Somewhere around 99% of people simply tread water in the sea of life, and always seem to be in the same place whenever you check on them. These people aren’t dumb or incapable – they’re just stuck in a permanent rut. Listen to people’s…

  • Stir Crazy Popcorn Popper

    I’d like to take a moment to talk about a slightly controversial subject: popcorn. Chips are ok, pretzels get boring fast, and chex mix is downright peculiar. Popcorn, however, is the most divine snack food in the land, and is well liked by almost everyone. I refuse on principal to talk to those who don’t…

  • Cook’s Knives

    Knives are awesome. You can chop celery, ward off intruders, and perform circus sideshows with them. In the high end kitchen market there are two dominant brands, Henckels and Wusthof. Both of these brands are incredible and are fairly evenly matched. I personally use Wusthof knives, but if I were to buy again today I…

  • New Site: Best in the Land

    I’m unemployed for only three days and I’ve already made a new site. This is one that I’ve been thinking about doing for a while, but just finally got around to it. If you were a member of my forums, you would have already seen it, along with a couple other new projects I’m working…

  • Panasonic Light Oven

    I hate microwaves. In my old house I never had one, and in my new house it came built in but never gets used. They warm food up, but they make it mushy or tough. No matter how you slice it, there’s always a better way to cook or warm up any given food. The…

  • Eagle Creek Switchback Max ES 22

    Did they really have to give this back such a long ridiculous name? Probably not, but we’ll forgive them because they have truly created the best suitcase in the land. At first glance you might overlook this bag. What makes this plain looking bag so great? It’s sneaky. The problem with most carry on luggage…

  • SuperMacro IV Headphone Amp

    Ok, so right about now you’re probably wondering who in their right mind would buy a headphone amp. In fact, you might even be wondering what a headphone amp is. Let me break it down for you. Portable audio players traditionally have poor quality amplifiers built in. Because you’re used to it, you probably don’t…

  • Smartwool Socks

    For the very first post of Best in the Land, I present to you the finest sock in the land. I chose this one because I just bought 18 pairs of these puppies and I’m really excited about them. I normally hate socks. Before smartwool I had only 4 pair, which I wore only when…
