Brixton Board Shorts Collection
Built for long days that start in the surf and end somewhere near the bar, Brixton's latest trunk lineup balances heritage styling with modern performance without leaning too hard into either. The Blitz Boardshort is the more aggressive option, a lightweight stretch trunk cut from quick-dry polyester and spandex with a water-repellent finish, invisible zip pocket, drainage eyelet, and bold graphic treatments that push beyond the standard washed-out beach palette. Available in both 19-inch and 21-inch outseams, it is engineered to move cleanly from paddle-outs to pool decks with minimal fuss. Countering it is the Classic Trunk 17", a stripped-back staple with clean lines, minimal branding, and an easy shorter cut that feels rooted in vintage surf culture while still delivering dependable quick-dry performance. Together, the collection hits the sweet spot between technical utility and everyday wearability, exactly where Brixton tends to do its best work.

Brooks Dash 6" 2-in-1 Short
Brooks takes a utility-first approach to training apparel with the Dash 6" 2-in-1 Short, a lightweight hybrid built for runs, gym sessions, and everything in between. Designed with a semi-fitted silhouette that follows the body without restricting movement, it pairs a breathable woven 6-inch outer shell with a supportive 4-inch boxer-brief liner engineered to reduce chafing and move freely thanks to 4-way stretch. Perforated side panels and a flat-knit waistband with internal drawcord keep airflow and fit dialed in, while a thoughtful pocket system adds everyday practicality with a liner phone pocket, key storage, and two external hand pockets for off-the-clock wear. The result is a versatile training short that transitions easily from workout to daily routine without missing a step.

The Postal Service Auditions
After ten years, The Postal Service is back on our radar with a new song and a summer tour. But, have you ever wondered what the band would have sounded like without the soft, angelic vocals of Ben Gibbard? What if Weird Al" Yankovic's accordion would have been pumping over Jimmy Tamborello's electronic beats? Here's the 2002 auditions of Aimee Mann, Moby, Duff McKagan, and Tom DeLonge as they fought to be the voice of the indietronic duo.

Duke Cannon Supply Co. Puck Soap
Bar soap rarely gets an upgrade, but the Duke Cannon Soap Puck rethinks the format with a compact, palm-sized design built for grip, portability, and longevity. Triple-milled for a denser, longer-lasting bar, it delivers a rich lather while holding up better than typical soaps, making it just as suited for daily showers as it is for gym bags and travel kits. Formulated with natural oils and free of phthalates, it cleans without overcomplicating things, while the rounded puck shape feels deliberate in hand. It's a small shift in form that turns a basic essential into something more considered and durable.

PLQR Smart Sticky Note
Private Label QR turns ordinary household labels into dynamic digital reference points, using durable QR stickers that link physical objects to editable information accessible from any smartphone camera. Once attached to a box, appliance, container, suitcase, or keepsake, each label can store notes, photos, instructions, contact details, or organizational data that can be updated anytime without replacing the sticker itself. The system feels especially useful for the kind of real-world friction most smart-home products ignore, from labeling moving boxes and organizing pantry goods to leaving appliance instructions for Airbnb guests or preserving the stories tied to family heirlooms. With no app required and built-in controls for private, public, or group visibility, the platform lands somewhere between modern inventory management and a digital memory layer for everyday objects.
