Eskuche 33 1/3s Headphones
There is nothing quite like a good pair of headphones to make you feel human again in the endless sea of monotonous white Apple earbuds. So these vintage inspired headphones from Eskuche are a much appreciated break. There is a lot of technical jargon about the exact specs of these puppies that quite frankly I dont care about, but either way, for $60 you cant go wrong with these.

The Weekly Rant
Scientists have recently discovered that blondes dont have more fun, and actually have normal ammounts of fun compared to others. And the biggest question I have is, who the deuce pays for these random trivial studies? “Scientists today discovered that scrambled eggs do taste better with cheese…”. Really? Why is it that I have a pot hole that could easily be confused for the...

WatchEver since The Elegant Scoundrel’s conception, and even sometime before, I have always been curious as to how things function, and what goes into making things, especially clothing.

Today's Skateboarders, tomorrow's Entrepreneurs.
We currently live in a society where most people work 9 to 5’s, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon. While some people are gifted business minded individuals, the majority of people will spend their lives in a rather common fashion, waking up early, going to work, going on 30 minute lunch breaks, and coming home just to sleep some and do it again the next day.
For the longest...

Mr. Stuffins
A truly creative and original comic from the same people who make the show Eureka ( I know, I dont watch it either), about a group of scientists who perfect A.I, then in attempt to hide it, seal it up inside a toy bear.

Of course we would never do something so juvenile…
