Thriller Instructional Dance T-Shirt

In all the Michael Jackson overload we had to filter through a lot of junk to come across this gem. No flashy gloves or homages to Bubbles, just pure awesomeness on one tshirt. For the casual glancer it's just a man in a bunch of different positions. To the discerning eye, it's a step by step break down to the dance break in the Thriller video. Kudos to Aled Lewis for this one. Available on Threadless starting at $18.

MLB Cooperstown Caps

Classic will always get you notices, at least that's our opinion here. Sure, it's all Bud Selig trying to sell more merchandise, but these Cooperstown Caps, available for 21 different teams (sorry all of Florida), are fitted and stylish. Made with a 6 panel cloth headband, embroidered front design and a comfortable wool blend, these should be a don't miss for any true fan. Available at mlb.com starting at $24.99

Sony Ericsson Rachael Platform Android Phone


Prior to my iPhone, my previous 3 cell phones were Sony Ericcsons. From an interface standpoint they seemed to be easy to adapt to as a Mac person. I had the t610, the s710a, and the m600i. Then iPhone came out and made all previous cell phones look like a carrier pigeon. For the last 2 years nothing has come close to the iPhone's style and innovation. The Blackberry Bold and Tour keep the crackberry faithful at ease while those who want the slick interface and multi-touch beauty of the iPhone but don't want AT&T have been given the Palm Pre. I too was wooed by the Palm Pre's slick WebOS, but in the end, the product felt cheaply built and there just wasn't enough to get me to leave my iPhone. Today I came across contender number 3,912 in the "Give Up The iPhone Challenge" and boy, if this one lives up to the video and the specs, I may be putting my new 3GS on the shelf...or at least adding another line! The new Sony Ericsson is based on the Android platform and has a super sexy interface. Combine that with an 8 megapixel, auto-zoom camera, 7.2mbps HSDPA, a procesor capable of 1ghz and 3D acceleration, and you, my friends, have a legitimate iPhone killer. Let's just hope they don't disappoint on the apps where, there's no question, Apple is the King Kong to everyone else's bi-wing plane. (via BSG)

Nambe Twist Coasters



A witty design, the Twist coaster set suggests spirited style and dapper elegance while protecting tabletops from drips and water rings. With richly grained acacia wood squares set on gleaming Nambé Alloy bases, the coasters follow flowing lines that rotate subtly at the corners. When the pieces are stacked together, the rotation builds so that the whole column appears to twist upward. A strong design with appealing energy, the set makes a sophisticated addition to the living room, home bar, or study. Self-storing, the coasters number six in all and make an excellent gift celebrating an achievement or anniversary.
