IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNEST

New Leather Places to Keep Your Money

Today, Ernest Alexander launched a collection of handmade leather items. It’s the first time they’ve done such a thing. So in honor of this momentous occasion, grab a bifold wallet or a card case made with Chromexcel shoe leather. And celebrate by keeping money and cards in it.

MODEL SERVICE

Girls in Bikinis and Some Not in Bikinis

Here’s a Tumblr with nothing but pictures of beautiful female people shot on 35 and 50 mm film by photographer Are Bernard. You don’t owe him anything for doing that, but without him, we certainly wouldn’t be here talking about this right now.

CLAIM TO FLAME

This Lighter Goes to 11

For what, you might ask, would you need this device that turns any disposable lighter into a wind-resistant, 2,300-degree-Fahrenheit blowtorch? Let us count the ways:
1) Dramatically lighting a cigar.
2) Roasting a marshmallow very slowly.
3) Welding miniature pipes.
4) Just to sort of have one of these.


411:	Soto Pocket Torch, $20, available now

QUERY EYE

Your Google Searches, Now a Board Game

You know Google’s autocomplete. Tries to assume what you’ll say next and whatnot. Well, some enterprising folks just turned the idea of that function into a board game called Query. The person who guesses the most popular autocomplete of a sentence wins. And probably also loses a little bit.


411:	Query, $28, available now
