| | 03/20/14 | | One shining weekend. | | | | | | | TASTER’S CHOICE | A Stupid-Simple Slow-Drip Cold Brewer | | Today: the first official day of spring. And, unofficially, the first day of iced coffee season. So, great time to invest in a transparent slow-drip cold-brew coffee gizmo that produces java of unparalleled strength and purity. Also, great time to invest in some sunglasses. | | | | | | | SPONSORED MESSAGE | | | | JEAN SPIRIT | The Jeans to Get You Through Spring | | You know Levi’s. Been around since the 1870s. Wearable 365 days a year. And now they’re unveiling new finishes and washes in the classic 501®, the 511™ slim and more. They’re just as appropriate at a backyard cookout as they are courtside at the playoffs. Or, you know, eating a sandwich. | | | | | | | | | BRANDO LOYALTY | A Fedora You Can’t Refuse | | Some people pride themselves on wearing a lot of hats. Other people pride themselves on wearing the same gray felt Stetson hat that Marlon Brando wore as Vito Corleone in The Godfather after winning it in an online auction happening right now. We suspect you’re one of those “other” people. | | | | | | | | | POLAROID VORTEX | Taking Polaroids with Your Phone | | Long ago, there were these things called Polaroid cameras. They were like normal cameras, but with built-in Instagram printers (more or less). Well, now some folks have made a gadget that produces Polaroid pictures wirelessly from your iPhone. The shaking is entirely optional. | | | | | | | | | A QUICK WORD | This Is How You Speed-Read | | There’s this new browser plug-in that allegedly gives you superhuman reading abilities by rapidly displaying text one word at a time. Apparently, since you’re not moving your eyes from word to word, it’s 80% quicker. Of course, you’ll probably go insane reading like that, but life is full of little compromises. | | | | | | | | | PERFECT SCENTS | What’s That Smell... | | Leather jackets. Dill pickles. Toothpaste. For decades, the fat cats at Big Candle have plotted to keep these scents from your living room. But today, one small online candle-making operation is going rogue with some alternative olfactory sensations like car exhaust and fresh dollar bills. Maybe don’t light them all at once. | | | | | | | | | | | | |
