Belt buckle with integrated toolkit

Cory Doctorow 6:26 am Mon Feb 25, 2008

I traded in my old belt for one of these 686 "Snow Tool Belts" a couple weeks ago and I'm just loving it. Conceived of as a set of snowboard tools built into your belt, the buckle is actually two screwdrivers (Phillips and slot), a bottle opener and a hex socket wrench. It snaps off the thick, high-quality leather belt with four poppers so that you can deploy it without taking off your whole belt. I've just had my first occasion to use it — needed a Phillips to open the battery case of some electronics — and it was great, like I was still carrying a multitool (a habit I kicked after losing half-a-dozen of the expensive little bastards to the TSA). I'm not sure if this guy'll survive airport security, but I'm gonna try it out this week in the UK, Germany and the US.

The Boox blur the lines between an e-reader and a tablet

Technology lines always blur over time. And no area is this more evident in recent years than in the morph between e-readers and tablets. E-readers used to just be used for curling up with an e-book and, well, reading. But with the advent of smaller components and more capabilities packed into a smaller space, e-readers… READ THE REST

Fox's new late night talk show Gutfeld! just premiered three days ago, and they've already run out of material. Watch the same exact joke they tell three nights in a row about a CNN guest being called a racist. A running gag this ain't. The show, hosted by Fox's Greg Gutfeld, also had a problem… READ THE REST
Prepare yourself for spring and summer with this brilliant $140 outdoor grill and smoker

You can grill 365 days a year, rain or shine. If you're brave enough, you can even grill in the snow. But you have to admit that firing up the coals and slapping some meat on a building blaze in the middle of beautiful spring and summer weather is truly the pinnacle of any grillmaster's… READ THE REST
