The weekend invented Post-its.

PERK ALERT

A Camera That’s Not Afraid to Get Wet

Your Perks: 1) A wearable, waterproof HD camera with an LCD screen. This thing loves the beach. Or shower. 2) Soft cotton button-ups that are good for almost any occasion. 3) High-tops and low-tops for guys with good taste. And feet.

DRAFT PICK

La Colombe Lattes Arrive in Cans, Crowd Goes Wild

Guy Who Likes Coffee: What’s in the can?
UD: A La Colombe draft latte.

GWLC: Oh.
GWLC (cont...): Can I get some?

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

A 103-Day Trip Sounds About Right

There are many ways to acknowledge the National Parks’ 100th birthday: recounting your one trip to the Grand Canyon as a teenager. Learning “Rocky Mountain High.” Taking a 103-day tour around the entire country, from Honolulu to Las Vegas. “Rocky Mountain High” is a really good song, but...

TO BE FRANK
