The Big Lebowski - 10th Anniversary Edition
The Dude is back with another special edition DVD set. The Big Lebowski - 10th Anniversary Edition (Sept. 9) is available as a standard edition ($14) and a limited edition with bowling ball packaging ($24). Besides all the extras included on past Lebowski DVD releases, the anniversary edition includes pretty much everything except a toe with nail polish. Bonus features include The Dude's Life featurette, The Dude Abides: The Big Lebowski Ten Years Later, production notes, The Making of The Big Lebowski, The Lebowski Fest: An Achiever's Story, and the Jeff Bridges Photo Book.
Pico USB Flash Drive
You won't find a smaller drive with this much storage anywhere. The easily-lost Pico USB Flash Drive ($50) is less than 4mm thick yet holds 8GB of digital miscellany. It sports a polished chrome finish and is shock and water resistant.
Flip Video Mino
The already-compact Flip Video Ultra camcorder just got a new little brother. At about 40% smaller than the Ultra series, the Flip Video Mino ($180) weighs only 3.3 ounces, but packs in features like 2GB of storage (good for up to 60 minutes of VGA-quality video), a rechargeable lithium ion battery (which recharges with a built-in USB arm), touch-sensitive buttons, and a 1.5-inch anti-glare LCD display. You also get the easy to use PC/Mac software for quickly sharing your videos. The Mino comes in Apple-esque white or black.
Wii Fit
Get in shape without an expensive gym membership with Wii Fit ($90; May 21). This videogame/personal trainer includes the new Wii Balance Board, a step aerobics-like base filled with sensors to help measure your weight, center of balance, and more. When used with the game, it helps you correctly complete a wide variety of exercises, from yoga to pushups, and includes a variety of mini-games to keep things from getting too serious. With fitness tracking and the ability to set personal goals, it's like having a personal trainer in the living room full time. And for extra fun, check out We Ski ($30), a Balance Board-compatible downhill skiing game.
British Imperial Pint Glasses
Drink your ale the way it was meant to be in one of these authentic British Imperial Pint Glasses ($7). These British style pub glasses, etched with the official European Union pint seal, finally allow you to replace your oh-so-classy Budweiser frog mugs. But these aren't just for looks — the heavy ridge on the Imperial glass provides durability and easy stacking.
Batman: The Killing Joke
It's the book Heath Ledger used to learn the true insanity of Gotham's darkest villain. Batman: The Killing Joke ($13) is considered to be the most well written and illustrated Batman comic ever. It's also the most controversial — where else will you find the Joker shooting Commissioner Gordon's daughter in the spine for fun? Written by Alan Moore with art from the masterful Brian Bolland, this comic spins an engrossing tale of how the maniacal clown came to be, and gets us so ready for The Dark Knight.
Adidas Stan Smith I De Lux
Perforated black leather and tan accents meet 70's tennis shoe chic in the Adidas Stan Smith I De Lux ($80). These plain sneaks are the perfect way to finish a funky outfit, with classic styling that won't draw too much attention away from your perfectly tailored jeans.
WeRobot T-Shirt
Another addition. The WeRobot T-Shirt ($25) features over 50 famous robots from various movies, TV shows, books, toys, and one album. Your bots come printed on a red, charcoal or white American Apparel tee.
Tripod Planter
Plant your foliage in a vessel that will match their modern surroundings with the Tripod Planter ($150). Made from steel, it's good indoors or out year-round, with three slender legs and a simple, elegant form that'll look great by the pool or by the bar.
Apple TV Take 2 & iTunes Movie Rentals
It's the same Apple TV, just a lot better. Apple TV Take 2 is loaded with entirely new software that lets you rent DVD-quality and HD movies directly on your TV. Yep, but it gets better. Requiring no computer (hi, Grandma!), the new Apple TV (40GB $230; 160GB $320) also adds YouTube and Flickr support. You'll be able to choose from over 1,000 titles by the end of February, including over 100 movies in HD with 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. The standard DVD-quality iTunes Movie Rentals are $2.99 for library titles and $3.99 for new releases, and HD versions are $3.99 and $4.99. Oh, and current Apple TV owners will soon be able to download the new software, making their "eh" boxes way more awesome.
Leatherman Skeletool
Now Available. Originally posted 09/07. Whether you're a professional heli-skier or a geek stuck down in the IT department, you should always have a good multi-tool in your pocket. But if the thought of said tool weighing down your pants all day doesn't appeal, maybe it's time to get yourself something a little less bulky. The Leatherman Skeletool is an ultra-light pocket-survival-tool that includes just the essentials — a super sharp knife, full-size pliers with wire cutters, an interchangeable screwdriver, and a carabiner clip/bottle opener. The Skeletool keeps weight and volume to a minimum without sacrificing quality or functionality. Two versions will be available — the Skeletool ($58) and Skeletool CX ($80; shown), which switches out some of the stainless steel components for carbon fiber.
