What has three wheels and can best be described as “part motorcycle, part convertible sports car”? The Can-Am Spyder roadster, of course, brought to you by the same folks who gave you Sea-Doo watercrafts and Ski-Doo snowmobiles. The Spyder, the first vehicle of its kind to be manufactured by BRP, is a three-wheel, open-road vehicle with two wheels in the front and one in the back. With sleek engineering and innovative design, it seems certain the Spyder comes with maximum head-turning capability. Continue Reading »

Being a creature of habit, I often find a thing I like and do that thing excessively either forever or until I get bored. My latest ritual is getting early afternoon Brunch and Bloody Marys at Yuca Bar. Yuca - as the regulars call it, is a Latin Fusion Restaurant located in the East Village of Manhattan, and known for it’s Mojitos and Sangria. Continue Reading »

Au revoir, Apple TV. The new Netflix Player by Roku ($100) lets you watch movies and TV shows from your Netflix queue, right on your TV, without ever going to the mail box. The streaming set-top box provides instant access to more than 10,000 movies and TV shows (currently about 10% of the Netflix library). Surprisingly compact (approximately 5″ x 5″ x 2″), the Netflix Player features Wired Ethernet and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g), HDMI and Component Video, and comes with a simple remote that lets you make selections, rate movies, and fast-forward or rewind video streams. The best part is that there’s no extra costs in all of this. You just have to buy the box and have a Netflix subscription. Awesome.

Now available. Originally posted 02/08. Sure, the DraughtKeg is handy, but it’s also a little messy, and takes up quite a bit of room in the fridge. The Heineken BeerTender ($300) solves these problems by serving as a standalone beer-serving machine, made especially for the 5L DraughtKeg. Co-developed with Krups, the BeerTender features integrated refrigeration to keep your beer the ideal temperature, and the built-in display lets you know when it’s time to refill. Plus, with its advanced pressure system, you’ll get the perfect pour every time. [Thanks, Zach]

Whether you’ve got a case of the yips or you just like new golf gadgetry, the Adams DiXX Putter ($400) is right up your alley. The unfortunately-named DiXX utilizes several technologies to analyze and track the five key factors of a putter swing — path, impact position, face angle, swing tempo, and speed balance — displaying information about your stroke on a head-mounted color LCD. When was the last time your putter told you why you missed that par-saving 3-footer?

Garmin has finally made a GPS watch that doesn’t make it look like you’ve got a clock radio strapped to your arm. The very wearable Forerunner 405 ($300) is a fitness watch that runners can use to track speed, distance, calories, heart rate and location. When you’re back from your jog, the 405 will wirelessly send the data to your computer. There’s even a Virtual Partner feature that lets you “compete” when running alone.

You have a buzz cut for one reason — it’s efficient. You can cut it yourself, and it requires no “product” when you’re ready to step outside. No prep, no mess. So isn’t it time your clipper was as equally efficient? Meet the Remington Shortcut ($30-$40). This curved cutting system follows the shape of your head better than traditional clippers and bi-directional back and forth cutting gives you up to 50% faster hair cuts. It features an adjustable guide comb with five length settings (from 1/8″ to 1/2″), a rechargeable battery, self-sharpening and rinseable blades, and a pop-up trimmer for around your ears and neckline. The low-maintenance look has never sounded (or looked) so good.
