BASE jumping in a wingsuit from a mountaintop or through a valley sounds almost too exciting — but for some people, too much is never enough. Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet are two of those people. The duo leaped from the top of Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland and hitched a ride on a plane, enter the side door in mid-air.
Christmas is right around the corner, and with it, 24-hour reruns of the greatest Christmas story ever told. Central to the real American Christmas experience, one must have a Leg Lamp. For the more DIY-inclined among us, here's a handy video showing you how to build a slightly-modified, more manly version of your own.
J. Paul Getty was one of the richest men in the world. There was nothing he couldn't have — yet he was notoriously frugal. In 1973, Getty's grandson was kidnapped for ransom. All the Money In the World tells the story of the kidnapping and the famous negotiations that led to his release. Directed by Ridley Scott, it stars Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg, and formerly Kevin Spacey. After allegations were released, he was pulled from the movie and replaced with Christopher Plummer. The film is slated for release December 22, 2017.
Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.

The Eureka Ark Executive Standing Desk combines heavy-duty design with minimalist modern aesthetics — with the added benefit of not sitting for hours at a time. Measuring 63 x 29 inches, the Ark Executive Desk features a raising mechanism with two quiet motors and three-stage legs that raise the desk from 27 inches to a max height of 49 inches. The desk raises and lowers at the touch of a button, with two preset options and an anti-collision system to prevent mishaps. A raised monitor stand and two smooth-glide drawers provide ample storage options, with three USB ports, two outlets, and a wireless charging pad built into the top. Almost completely handmade, the Ark is dressed in solid walnut veneer, making it the centerpiece of any office, at home or on the job.

If you caught Babish making the garbage plate, but were curious about its origins, Great Big Story has the scoop — literally. It all started at Nick Tahou Hots in Rochester, New York. Since 1918, they've been putting all the garbage on the plate, and have the trademark to prove it.
The 80s gave us the supercar. The 90s took the supercar and pushed it to the limits of what was capable in something legal to drive on public roads. From limited-production homologation specials to the still-awesome McLaren F1, the 90s turned out cars that can still hold their own today.
Sandalwood plays a key role in many men's fragrances. Panache Santal from Oxford Hill honors this tradition. While the top note is floral, with scents of lilies and rose, the base is a masculine mix of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver. With a heart of papyrus, cardamom, and amber, this is a versatile scent that goes on easily with roll-on application and lasts for hours.

Instead of his former bandmates, The Smashing Pumpkin's Billy Corgan stopped by NPR's tiny desk with a string quartet. He carried on the group's legacy with a chill-inducing performance of the 1995 classic "Tonight, Tonight." He then switched to the piano to follow that up with two songs from his upcoming solo album Ogilala.
