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.

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…

Fired!
Fired might be a harsh word, but as of today I no longer work at the glorious Smiley Media. Working there was really fun, and I learned some interesting things, but at the end of the day I don’t think I’m really meant to work in an office. The only part I’ll really miss are…

New Years Goals – Old and New
It’s 10 minutes before midnight on the last day of 2006, and I’m sitting in bed writing a post. I guess that shows where my priorities are. Anyway, a year ago I wrote down my goals for 2006, so our first order of business is to review them. 1 – Become Fully Polyphasic. I guess…

How to Make a Moderately Popular Blog
Let’s be honest: My blog is pretty cool. It’s not nearly as popular at Boingboing, Tuckermax, or that weird housewife who writes about her kids, but I have a pretty steady readership who all post comments and get something out of the site.

Let a Billionaire Manage Your Finances for Free
