DollarShaveClub.com Delivers!!!

Back towards the beginning of March we told you about a pretty cool new idea from a company calling themselves DollarShaveClub.com (Remember along with us… and check out their bitchen commercial, HERE).  Well, being the dope cats that we are… and making sure that what we say stands the test of time… we joined.  And… we love it!!!

The first shipment took 3-4 weeks to arrive, and since then… we’ve been getting our package of ready to go razors like clockwork.  In a nutshell, the razors are everything they promised.  Sharpened to perfection… lubed up with one of those magical soft strips that razors have now… and awesomely ready to use.  The first delivery comes with a razor holder (much like the ones that you buy in the store), a membership card and 5 disposable heads…  which is, well, everything you could possibly need!!!  Duh.

 

From that point on they ship only the heads so make sure you keep that holder (not sure yet if they ever send a new holder) oh, and a cool message with big thanks for still being part of the club.  So, these are razors… and there is truly only one function for them, but these little guys do it perfectly!

There you have it… they built a big hype with their creative and fun viral commercial, then backed it with a legit product that totally delivered the way they said it would.  How cool is that!!!  I’m just wondering who I’m ripping off by getting these razors for so cheap?  Every razor I’ve bought in the past, all of which were easily equal or inferior in quality, cost WAAAAAAAAYYYYYY more.  What gives?  Are these guys straight slappin’ suckas in the face with this idea?  My thoughts… WHO CARES!!!!  Mad props and big thanks DollarShaveClub.com!!!

The Zombie Apocalypse is Finally Upon Us. CRAP!!!!

I’m going to be completely honest for a second… we never actually thought the Zombie Apocalypse was really going to happen.  Seriously, it was always just a little something fun that we’ve done to play along with all of the hype.  You know, zombie movie here… zombie tv show there… zombie toys everywhere, but this shit just got real!!!  I mean really real.  And I’m a little scared.

I will say that when we put together all of our lists of what you’ll need to survive we honestly did put a ton of thought and preparation into it.  We even live tested a ton of it out in the world to make sure it was functional.  Go see everything we’ve put together to help you stay ahead of the brain-munching hoards right HERE (or at any time by clicking on our section “Zombies!!!!!” to the left).  What has me all a-quiver?  Surely you’ve heard about the guy high on (insert govt. bullshit excuse here) that was found literally chewing off the face of some random homeless guy on the side of a Fwy overpass?  Yeah… I thought it sounded like a load of crap too… insert legit news source now:

Get your life in order people… GET YOUR LIFE IN ORDER!!!!!

Review: Maui Jim Mala Sunglasses (The Future of Shades has Arrived!!!)

When you read something dramatic like “The Future of Shades has Arrived” does your mind immediately go to some sort of futuristic spaceman/Air-Filter looking sunglasses like they used to show us in all of those crazy 80′s “This is what the future will look like” movies?  Yeah me too.

Which made it all that much more surprising when I discovered the most futuristic sunglasses I’ve ever worn had a pretty classic style to them!  Introducing the last pair of sunglasses you’ll ever need to buy… Maui Jim’s Mala ($320).

“But WhiteGlossy… 2 things, dude $320!!!… and those look pretty normal.  How are these all futurey and stuff?”  Glad you asked… but first of all bro, futurey isn’t a word.

Let me break it down for you like this:  1. Yes, under normal circumstances $320 may be a pretty good chunk of change for sunglasses but let me put you at ease… the style of these badass shaded specs are timeless!!!  It’s like a cross between an aviator and a totally successful “I have a summer-house at the beach” kinda guy.  It’s a look that has been gracing the mugs of the creme-de-la-creme for quite some time, and let’s be honest with each other… it’s time you joined the ranks.  2. If you are one of “those” people who only shop for sunglasses on the rotating racks in Target because you are notorious for sitting on your shades, throwing them from your head while being awesome, loaning them to Todd that jackass who breaks everything or are a just all-around clumsy ass… take a deep breath, Maui Jim has one hell of an AMAZING warranty on their glasses!!!  The lenses are all you… but if those frames of yours become damaged they’ve seriously got your back.  Hell… they even have a 30 day guarantee.  If you don’t like them, send them back for a FULL REFUND.  Who else does that?

Let’s talk more about why these amazing shades are so futuristic: The frames are made out of lightweight titanium and high-grade nylon, coupled together by a mixture of magic and awesomeness… and done so with a hingeless design (i.e. no need for screws!) for a truly superior comfort and fit.  I’ve literally walked out of my house and forgot these were on top of my head!!!  they are SO INCREDIBLY LIGHT!!!!!!!

Now… about the most important part of any pair of sunglasses… the lenses.  I can wax poetic for days about how amazing these are… but, I think it would be best to let the peeps at Maui Jim themselves tell you all about it:

HCL® Bronze: For everyday variable conditions, from full sun to overcast. Provides excellent contrast. Great if you love a warm, subtle bronze tint.

Maui HT™: High-Transmission for times when most lenses would be too dark — sharper contrast and more vibrant color for early morning, late afternoon and foggy days. Heightens contrast and depth of field so that low light is perceived with new vibrancy.

PolarizedPlus®2: In every pair of Maui Jims you’ll find our patented, color-infused lens technology that wipes out 99.9% of glare, 100% of harmful UV and boosts color via specially designed lens treatments. So your view is clearer, with crisper contrast and amazing brilliance.

MauiPure™: The perfect lens for your everyday active lifestyle, MauiPure™ is the lightest weight choice for long days in the sun. Scratch- and impact-resistant. Injection molded for the crispest optics next to glass.

Through the Lense

I’m telling you… the technology used to design and make these sunglasses a reality are something from the future.  they are taking things used on spaceships and hi-tech machinery and putting it into your sunglasses.  These scream “FUTURE” from every ounce of their being… while also making that hot chick you see at Starbucks every morning give you a second look.  It’s like driving a Porsche without all the douchery.

I’ve worn my Mala’s in the city… at the beach… on a bike ride… a day at the park… a sporting event… and driving… without even the slightest discomfort, glare or lack of seeing exactly what I wanted to see.  these.  glasses.  are.  amazing!!!!!  Truly and awesomely perfect in every way.  The best thing I can say about these glasses is this… I will continue to review and try every pair of sunglasses I can get my hands on because I will always want to bring you the best of the best, but in my mind… I’ve already found the last pair I will ever need.  This is my gold standard that all others will be judged against.

Toss in the slick cleaning cloth/travel pouch and off-the-hook stylish hard-shell case for extra protection (you can see it in the pics above and below)… and it stupid not to pick these up!

Buy them… wear them… love them.  Thank me later.  Here are a few more pics in a slideshow:

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter -Trailer

I have to admit, this movie makes me giddy like a school girl.  The book was great, the fact that Tim Burton is involved, and it has vampires.  By the looks of it, real vampires. Not metro sexual, twinkle in the sun, vampires.  Opens June 22nd 2012.

Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio

We are all about harnessing the power of the sun around here.  And why not?  It’s limitless, warm, and just plain cool to do.  Well now Logitech has hooked up the solar tech to an iPad folio that captures all those photons and turns them into power for a usable folio keyboard.

While not cheap at $130, the Logitech Solar Keyboard Folio offers you the protection you need for your iPad 2, but also supplies a full functioning keyboard, various viewing angles, and two hours of typing time per solar charge.  Protection with a cool factor is always a good thing.

Man Up and Buy a Candle!!!

Dudes… let’s all be perfectly honest for a moment.  We stink.  No, I’m not talking about our personalities or our anti-monogamous tendencies… I’m talking odor.  Straight up funkadelica.  ESPECIALLY when you put us front and center next to the sweetest smelling creatures on Earth… Women.  I mean really… they are pretty awesome!  They smell amazing pretty much all the time.  Even when they think they’re stinky all we can think about is how fantastic they are.  Then you go into their home… and SERIOUSLY!!!!  Smells great there too!!!  So what do they have that we don’t?  Why do our domains have the faint odor of feet, ass, moldy cheese and a rotting bum?  They buy candles.  Yup, it’s that simple.

“But White Glossy, I want my place to smell good… just not like a chick’s pad”.  (Insert smiley face)… we got your back!  We told you once before about the brotastic Mandles HERE… and now the gold-standard in candle makers, Yankee Candles, has stepped up to the plate with:

With scents like 2×4, Riding Mower, First Down & Man Town… your bro-cave can now smell, well… nice.  Step up men… it’s time!!  Here are a few tidbits from the Yankee Candlers:

Are You Prepared for the Snowman Apocalypse?!?!

I know what you’re thinking… “WhiteGlossy its Summer for gods sake, why the hell are you talking about snowmen?”  Well WGUBers, this is when they’ll catch us off guard!!!!

You need to be prepared friends.  The Snowmen (SM) conspirators are trying to draw your attention away from the serious SM scare by dangling this pretend Zombie Apocalypse in front of your face (which you can find anything and everything you’ll ever need to survive right HERE)… well, you need to be prepared for the real scare… the SNOWMAN APOCALYPSE!!!!  And there is only one thing you can use against these evil spawns of frozen satan… Ice bullets!!!  When we’re on the front lines screaming “Back thee frigid demons” I’m putting my trust in only the best ammunition… AK Ice-Rounds ($8) from our life-saving amigos at Think Geek.

Of course, you just might be more of a hand-to-hand kinda brawler… or the “Quick Ice” setting on your freezer is a load of shit too… either way, we’ve got your back with Ice-Swords ($15)!!!!

Now, you’re ready.  Good luck and we’ll hopefully see you on the other side!

PS – Yes I made this up… and no I’m not crazy.  Well… that crazy.

LEAP into the Next Gen of Computers (Pun Intended)

Okay… let’s have a serious conversation for a second.  Do you hate your mouse?  No, not that scratching burrowing tiny bastard living rent-free in your attic… I’m talking about that little guy sitting to the right of your computer right now (or to the left if you’re one of “those” people).  You know, that carpal-tunnel causing little germ-coated robot that you couldn’t imagine your life without… what if I could tell you he’s really not necessary any more?  No really… like not at all necessary.  Yeah… my interest was piqued too.  Check it:

Yeah… badass.  It’s called the LEAP ($70) and it’s like you just become a cross between Ironman and Tom Cruise in Minority Report.  Here’s what the peeps at LeapMotion have to say about their bitchen new creation:

Say goodbye to your mouse and keyboard.

Leap represents an entirely new way to interact with your computers. It’s more accurate than a mouse, as reliable as a keyboard and more sensitive than a touchscreen.  For the first time, you can control a computer in three dimensions with your natural hand and finger movements.

This isn’t a game system that roughly maps your hand movements.  The Leap technology is 200 times more accurate than anything else on the market — at any price point. Just about the size of a flash drive, the Leap can distinguish your individual fingers and track your movements down to a 1/100th of a millimeter.

This is like day one of the mouse.  Except, no one needs an instruction manual for their hands.
