    While we’re talking about stuff that will spruce up your living space, your girlfriend doesn’t really think it’s cute that you have random stacks of comics and gear laying around on your floor. So clean it up and stack it up on these modular fashionable shelves. They come in 3 glossy finish colors. 5 out of 10. Very Cool. ($504) NC

    We’ve all seen the gear that you’re supposed to be able to talk to before, but what we don’t often see is a device where it works. Well the Moshi not only works, but works well. At the time of testing, it was in a noisy store on a Saturday night, and yet when the clock heard it’s name it lit up and said hello. Simply say “Hello Moshi” followed by one of the pre programed commands and the clock tells you the time, lets you set the time, lets you set the alarm, tells you room temp  and more. The best part is, this clock won’t cost you much more then a normal alarm, coming in at $49.95, this would even make a great gift if you’re on a budget. Very Cool. NC

    We often find ourselves staring at the magazine rack trying to decide where our money is best spent. Do we want to read about music? How about culture or style? Or maybe movies or that Indie film we missed last year? You could go to one of the media elite or you could go with Risen Magazine. Every month you’ll read everything from a young artist who creates surreal painting’s then turn the page and read about a actor you’ll have seen in many films but knew nothing about. Filled with engaging articles and wonderful images, in every issue you find yourself wrapped up in information on everything you never knew you were looking for. This is without any doubt one of the coolest magazines around, and coming from us, that’s saying something. NC

    With it’s carbon fiber X-frame suspension, tough molded E-Vap back, rugged haul loops, crampon pocket and tons of other awesome features this may be our favorite pack from North Face right now. Professional hikers and climbers not only talk about this pack, they rave about it. And we can see why, after a fitting with weight, and gear we found this to be the most comfy pack out of the 5 or 6 in it’s class we tried on that day. Very Cool. NC

    This large metal cube comes with a hammer. Why? So you can beat the crap out of the cube and turn it into a chair that’s why. Very Cool? Yes. Buy yourself a Do Hit Chair by Marijn van der Poll and smash the heck out of the 1.25mm stainless steel it’s made from, in no time at all you’ll have a chair like nothing else. NC
