id America Spark Headphones

My everyday in-ear headphones are made by Shure and cost me almost $300 a couple of years ago. They are magnificent instruments with sound quality second to no headphone I’ve ever owned. Hell, I might even go as far as to say that they are worth every penny I spent on them.

The Stolen Leica M3

A couple of years ago, I ran across an eBay auction for a Leica M3 and a whole host of lenses. It was a package that was worth well over $4,000, but featured a “BUY IT NOW” price of only $100. I’ve fallen for the whole “It’s too good to be true” thing before, but figured there was no harm in sending an email and inquiring. Hours later, I found myself on the phone with an elderly woman in San Francisco.

The Knife Belt

Freeman’s Sporting Club carries nothing but gear made within a 10 mile radius of their New York HQ. They’ve got some good shit… My favorite? The knife belt. Check it out.

They should send me a sample for review just for the free advertising I’m giving them as lord knows, there is no way I can afford one.
