77-inch LG Signature OLED 4K TV

Let’s play a game. How much do you think LG’s 77-inch OLED 4K TV costs? $5,000? $10,000? $15,000? Try $20,000. In other words: You better be rich if you’re buying this bad boy. And to be fair, if you’ve got the money, the 4K TV is a great buy. OLED technology renders deep blacks, high contrast and over a billion incredibly bright colors. It also does HDR. I’ve seen LG’s 65-inch Signature OLED 4K…

Nike HyperAdapt Self-lacing Sneakers

Marty McFly fans probably pissed themselves in the pants when they heard Nike was producing real self-lacing sneakers. Dubbed the Nike HyperAdapt 1.0, the sneakers are a taste of the future of tech fused with footwear. Like the Back to the Future II sneakers, the HyperAdapt 1.0 auto-lace when you put your foot in and the tightness can be adjusted via buttons near the sneaker’s tongue. Even…

Leica Sofort Instant Camera

Leica’s joining the instant camera ranks. The company’s new Sofort instant camera ($300) will be available in three colors and takes uses Fujifilm’s Instax mini film. A Leica by mostly name (something of a trend lately, as the the brand is licensed out to other hardware makers), the Sofort bests even Fujifilm’s full-featured Instax Mini 90 from a few years ago. The Sofort several modes including…

Converse Chuck II Shield Canvas High Top

Change is hard. Especially when you’re messing with an iconic design. But if you want to see progress you need to be open to change. Under Nike’s watch, Converse’s Chuck All-Star sneakers are slowly transforming with the times. The new Chuck II Shield Canvas High Top ($90) repels water with its Counter Climate technology, cushions soles with Nike Lunarlon and sports reflective accents for that…

The only notebook you need?! @Wipebook Pro #whiteboardit #notebook #writing

Notebooks are a big deal for us. They’re essential to our daily life. A notebook captures ideas, records meetings, you name it, everything. They’re also important from a record keeping perspective even years after we write in them. We’re not religious when it comes to the type of notebook, we just need a piece of paper and a pen. When we look back at our notebooks, sometimes they’re keepers and…

I’m past 25% of the #3for31 Challenge and couldn’t be more thrilled! I’m tired, very tired. Most marathon training plans call for 5 days of running per week, so when I’m at nearly double that, my body is going to feel the pain. If I’ve learned anything about this challenge it is that you have to forget what your body is saying and get out there and run. Sounds stupid, but the way to be a better…

You know when you’re a kid and you say “My dad is cooler that yours”? I can honestly say, my dad is cooler than yours, probably cooler than me. My ukulele playing, booze drinking (Mostly wine, cheap scotch, and sometimes margaritas) surfer (Of 40+ years) father is the epitome of cool. Although his style has become more lumberjack man over the years, this grown-up hippie knows people by the name…

Giant Gyozas #Japan #TigerGyozaHall #Tokyo

Japan is a land of many things, but one piece of food completely surprised me, gyoza. Dumplings, mini bags of deliciousness, whatever you want to call them are officially, “Gyoza” in Japan. Gyozas in the states are half-moon shaped dumplings, 2-3 inches long, filled with meat and vegetables, but in Japan, there are many varieties and shapes. I went to Harajuku Gyoza, Chao Chao Gyoza, and Anzukko…

Eating Guts #Tsukiji Market #Japan #food

Tsukiji Fish Market is THE fish market in Tokyo. The one and only place where tourists will wait over 2 hours for sushi in the morning, where all chefs get their fresh fish, and oddly enough, where I eat guts at. I’ve shit on the Tsukiji Fish Market which wasn’t fair, because I have had great meals there, they just weren’t mind-blowing sushi, but they were mind-blowing bowls of meat or ears or…

Comfort Food and Comics @QueensComfort #NYC

Astoria is one of the weirdest, yet amazing neighborhoods in New York. The apartments are fairly cheap, close to the city, it is pretty safe, minus drunken assholes on the weekend. Historically a Greek neighborhood, it’s becoming a melting pot of cultures. Although, what’s weird about Astoria is it’s still not a highly desired area to live in. What do people know that I don’t? One restaurant that…

Eight days of running is no joke. 5 miles on day 8 and I’m beat, I’m dead tired. The weather isn’t helping, but that’s the point, getting out there and running in the winter. It’s not the dead of winter yet, so I shouldn’t complain, but it’s damn cold. 40 degree weather with a slight wind isn’t fun. 50-60 degree weather and it’s perfect. The day’s run took me to parts of Queens. I started in…

.@LyleandScott: Jumper Game on Point #fashion

Jumpers or sweaters is the focal point of fashion this winter. T-shirts and button ups were the main piece of clothing in the summer and even the fall, but because of the weather, sweaters are in. Everyone needs a coat, but that sweater is going to be the most worn item this season. It’s important your sweater game is on point and that means you update your gear or your crack open the box of…

Bullit @Newgateclocks Space Age 1960s Alarm Clock #clocks #watches @atomretro

At DG, we love clocks, watches, and anything that tells time. We use our phones as alarm clocks, but we also have an actual clock. Clocks are great to have for a variety of reasons, they look good on your nightstand/mantel, they tell time, and they keep you away from your phone. Newgate makes some of our favorite clocks, and the latest one we’re liking is the Bullit Retro 1960s Space Age Alarm…

Discounts on @Uniqlo Winter Jackets #deals #winter #cold

It’s winter, it’s cold and when can’t you use another jacket. When I first came to NYC from California I binge shopped on wool peacoats. That was a great idea and they worked with business attire, but during the harsh winter months with freezing rain, sleet, snow, and wind they didn’t do well. An extreme winter coat isn’t mostly made of wool or cashmere, and needs at a minimum some sort of…

#3FOR31: Day 4-7 – More Miles - still going strong! #noteasy robin.arzon

#3for31 has been an amazing way to kickstart my day or end it on a high note. December is a month of glorious food, gifts, and cold temperatures, not prime training months. Today was the end of day 7, nearly 25% through and my legs haven’t become tired yet. To be fair, I’m not running much more than 3 miles each day and the distance (Above 3 miles) is dependent on the weather and my schedule.…
