Moving in with roommates can be a great experience if everyone is on the same page. It usually makes your rent more affordable, you get to meet more peeps, and possibly make good friends in the process.
But of course that doesn’t always happen right? We’ve all heard the horror stories of passive aggressive roommates or the kind that eat everything in the pantry and never buy stuff to replenish it. Those types of roommates just suck. Sure everyone is nice in the beginning when you start living together, but it doesn’t take long to find out that the new roomie (who you thought was so cool and laid back), is actually a slob who never washes dishes and eats all of your Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Vanilla ice cream without asking.
Luckily now there’s a new website called EasyRoomin that aims to simplify shared living by helping roommates track expenses, assign chores, make lists of possessions, and more. Continue reading »
When it comes to underwear, you may fall into either the “I don’t care as long as it’s clean” or the “I don’t mind paying a little more for performance” group.
Here are two options I came across recently that make sense no matter which camp you’re in. Oh and if you’re in the commando camp, then stop reading here.
Manpacks
Manpacks is a subscription based service which ships you brand new socks, underwear, and t-shirts every 3-months (think Netflix for skivvies). The site offers a variety of familiar brands (Hanes, Champion, American Apparel, Calvin Klein) and let’s you customize your orders the way you want them.
Launched in January of this year, Manpacks hopes to help you free up…”more time to build empires, climb mountains, slay dragons…to achieve the goals you aspire to.”
Known for their affordable men’s fast fashion, 21Men, just launched a shoe line last Friday.
21Men shoes remind me of old school low-profile Vans or Converse All-Stars. They have a classic look and feel to them and come at a price point right in that can’t-miss sweet spot ($14.90-16.90). Grab a pair (or two) before they sell out.
Free Shipping is valid on orders over $40. Valid 7/19/10 – 8/13/10. Use code STANDOUT at checkout. Applies to standard shipping only within United States and Canada. Doesn’t apply to international regions outside of United States and Canada. Valid online only.
Classic Canvas Sneakers
$14.90
These classic sneakers have a lace-up front and 21MEN logo tab side. Featuring dyed to match seams and a single striped trim. Comes in Black & Indigo (shown). Upper: 92% cotton, 8% rayon; insole: 99% cotton, 1% polyester; outsole: 100% rubber Continue reading »
I’ve always liked websites that place emphasis on the visuals. With PicClick’s “visual search” you get that and then some.
What PicClick does is aggregate multiple sites content (eBay, Amazon, Etsy, PlentyOfFish, etc.) and presents results in a dead simple way that makes searching for products, recipes, and even a date, easier.
Sure you can already do similar searches in each of the respective sites listed above, but most of those search results are cluttered and wonky. They bog the whole searching process down with lots of text and poor navigation. Continue reading »
I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
