I'm a fan of any technology that takes care of the little stuff I don't want to have to think about. Or constantly forget to do. (Which is why my DVR is my most valued possession.) If you're a guy who considers "little stuff" to be winding your watch, changing its battery, or just setting the correct time, consider the new Oceanus OCWM700 series watch.

Not your typical techno-loaded timepiece, the Oceanus delivers a host of gizmos in a high-end style watch that'll satisfy your inner gadget geek, without being embarrassing to actually wear.

Called the "world's first atomic solar chronograph watch" it regularly receives radio signals from the atomic transmitter ...More

I played golf this weekend and the only thing worse than the sweltering heat was the price of beer the cart girl was charging. Sure she was cute in those shorts, but come on. We could have played another round for what we spent on beer.

Not surprisingly, most courses frown on you bringing in your own beverages. You can risk it and try to smuggle in a cooler, but even the dimmest bag jockey can spot one of those small, insulated six-pack holders strapped to your bag. I suggest going more undercover with the Par Six from Caddyswag.

A slim 8x19 insulated cooler with a freezable gel pack that keeps your cans cold for all 18, the Par Six is made to fit inside your golf bag's shoe pocket. And the black color keeps it discrete as you grab a cold one greenside. For those of you who like to carry your beer loud and proud as you walk the links, there's a shoulder strap that keeps both hands free for drinking. Or waving the cart girl on as she makes her rounds.

Not just for hardcore, pre-teen gamers, the PSP is the go-to device for hardcore, grown-up commuters too. On almost every flight I take I see them fired up by guys for games, movies, music... whatever helps the trip go by faster.

When you're taking you're PSP on the road, you need something to keep it from being banged around in your bag or briefcase. One of the better, and well thought-out, cases is from Pacific Design.

Made of durable polyurethane with a leather-like feel, it has an open-frame design that holds the PSP with minimal overlap, giving you complete usability and access to all ports without having to remove the case. A magnetic "trapdoor" on the bottom even lets you change the UMD while your PSP stays cradled. A storage slot in the cover holds another one so you don't have to go digging when you get bored. Or your train gets delayed. ...More

Women love bikes almost as much as we do. I don't care what your four-wheel ride is, nothing comes close to hitting the back roads, wind in your hair, and her arms wrapped tightly around you. And image-wise? Even my accountant looks like a bad-ass on his Harley. (Once he takes off his bifocals.)

If you're looking to add a rougher edge to your image, Harley-Davidson recently put a new bike on the streets with throw-back styling. They call it the Nightster, and it incorporates a whole bunch of old-school design elements Harley has used to harken back to "the themes of outlaw and rebellion that Harley's are iconic for." And can't we all use a little more outlaw and rebellion in our lives?

There's a newly styled logo on the tank and the paint is available in matte finish only, giving the bike an edgier look. The license plate is side mounted, with old-line front fork gaiters and low ride hight that give the Nightster a post-WW II feel. But with today's power. ...More
