The 300 Series at Wrong Weather is gorgeous. It's a minimal yet classy chronograph wristwatch that has aircraft grade 42mm brushed stainless steel case, a white face, mineral crystal lens, and tan italian leather band.
Digital Kitchen Scale
When I brew coffee each morning, the items I pull out onto the kitchen counter consist of a conical burr grinder, and electric water kettle, a bamboo stir stick, my coffee brewing device (such as the AeroPress or French Press), my coffee beans, and a digital scale. It may sound like a lot but it isn't really that bad. For years I…
Michael Bublé Christmas Album
It's no secret I'm a big fan of Christmas Music. I generally prefer instrumental, jazz renditions of classic Christmas carols. But Michael Bublé's new Christmas album is pretty great, too. We've been listening to it pretty regularly for the past couple of weeks, interspersed with our normal Christmas jazz. It's also available as MP3 on Amazon and iTunes.

Puerto Rico: The Board Game
This game is awesome. I'm a big fan of games where you sit down with a handful of friends or family, everyone has their beverage of choice (usually hot tea at our house), and you play a good-paced, interesting, strategy game. Settlers of Catan has been the long-time favorite in the Blanc household. Lately we've been having fun with Ticket to Ride…
Norelco’s Vacuum Beard, Stubble, and Mustache Trimmer
I keep a short beard. Or, to be more specific, a permanent 5 o'clock shadow. And so I've always shaved with a guardless beard trimmer. The problem is that the cut hairs escape all over the sink. Anyone who trims their beard knows exactly what I'm talking about. Well, earlier this week I picked up the Norelco Qt4070 — it's a beard…
Glass Cylinder Pendant Lamp
The truth is, I am somewhat of a sucker for non-standard-issue lamps. The Old Faithful shop is full of such lamps, and this glass cylinder pendant lamp is no exception. On the end of a 15-foot cord is a bronzed metal frame that holds the glass cylinder which measures 5.5 inches in diameter and 7.7 inches tall.

Schmidt Brothers, 15-piece Downtown Block
Two things about the knives from New York-based Schmidt Brothers: (1) they offer high quality and longevity for an unusually affordable price; (2) the downtown block is a very cool and unique holding block that uses acrylic magnets embedded inside the wood to hold the knives in place. This 15-piece set was done in collaboration with West Elm and is a great…
Neu Year 2012 Calendar
The 2012 Neu Year productivity calendar shows you the whole year at once as one large poster. It's broken up by week (rather than month) because most people plan and organize their live in week increments.
