We recently got a chance to test out the Epson Artisan 800 Wireless Photo All-in-One Printer
Out of the Box:
Where as most printers look like kitchen appliances suitable for slicing vegetables, the Epson Artisan 800 out of the box looks more stylish and refined in its design. It is very sleek for a printer and doesn’t have too many exposed buttons or insert slots. Most of the buttons and trays are hidden nicely tucked away behind nifty sliding compartments.

A few weeks ago, we got a chance to check out a pair of pants made by Bonobos. Produced in limited quantities in Manhattan and San Francisco and available only online, Bonobos pants ($110 – $350) solve what their founders call “KDB” or that khaki-diaper-butt problem some experience every time they slip on khakis.
After trying these pants on for size, we’ve become huge fans. We like them not only because of their namesake (Bonobos is one of the most sexually active chimpanzees on the planet), but because they are just flat out good quality threads. Everything from their unique buttons, colorful inseams and super soft cotton to their tailor fit waist was a welcomed change from our standby Dockers that we’re used to. We highly recommend you try on a pair and see for yourself.
Editor’s Note: This is a post from our friends over at LEGENDmag.
If you’ve never worn a hat other than a baseball cap, how do you go about choosing just the right one? There are so many styles, shapes, sizes and colors that it sometimes seems impossible to even start. We’ve had the same problem, so we enlisted Liz Brusca from Goorin Hats to give some helpful hints for those of you feeling a little naked on top! First-time customers might feel unsure of how to select their perfect hat. However, the hundreds of styles and colors to choose from, ensure that there is at least one perfect hat for every head.

Growing up I was a comics fanatic. I would anxiously tear open the comics section of our local newspaper to read all my favorites, and even those I didn’t really understand. Back then I didn’t understand how much effort and work went into getting a comic strip syndicated or how much blood and tears went into the strips and the endless fights with censors who always cut the comics down.
Now that I’m older I’ve come to realize what’s in the funny pages as a kid was only the tip of the iceberg. Of course back then there was no Internet and thus no web comics. But that’s different now and most people in the newspaper comics industry don’t pull out their comics when they retire. They let them keep running and most newspapers are fine with it. This makes it harder for new artists to get their comics syndicated and that’s where the Internet comes into play.

In the last 10 years, the web comics field has exploded. This is mainly because the most active group on the Internet today were the most active readers of comics of yesterday. And so I present to you my top 5 web comics that you’re not reading but should be. These comics are uncensored and completely original and because of that very hilarious.
11 Ways To Spruce Up Your Wardrobe For Next To Nothing
November 7, 2008 | nicholascameron | 2 Comments1. The Life Laundry
Take all your clothes and make three piles. The first is items that you can’t live without, the second is items that you are/should be ashamed of and the third is everything in between. Throw out the shame pile and put the keeper pile back into your wardrobe. Congratulations, your style just got a whole lot better. When you are ready to spend some cash again, gradually replace the in-between pile with fresh, but not necessarily expensive, stock. Fresh items go in the wardrobe and old items go in the trash.
2. New Thinking
Another great technique that’s absolutely free is to simply change your perspective concerning the items you already have. A lot of people tend to be quite habitual and stick to the same combinations. Don’t. Make some time to try new things out. Do it alone if need be and give yourself freedom to make a few mistakes. It’s all part of the process and nobody else has to know. Besides, it’ll be worth it when you find a new approach that’s fresh and personal.
3. How’s It Hanging?
Throw out the wire, throw out the plastic and invest in some wooden hangers. Not only do they make your wardrobe look a lot tidier, but they’re thicker than the other varieties. This means that your more fragile items are less likely to suffer from unsightly stretching. Your garments will all thank you for this small investment. For extra security, think about treating your most treasured items (such as leathers or suits) to a soft, padded hanger of their own. They can be found in most decent haberdasheries.
