Mobi Camouflage Sandwich Bags
by Evan Orensten
Mobi has just announced their newest designs and we had to share: Two new camo patterns. Remember, whatever can be camo, should be camo. A box of twenty bags costs $4.99 at Mobi's online store (available after 11 January 2006).
Arrow Magazine
by Ami Kealoha
The first issue of the brand new Brooklyn-based street art magazine Arrow premiered last month, featuring profiles of the likes of artist Rich Jacobs (he's responsible for the cover art), photographer Angela Boatwright, the Canadian band, DFA 1979, and the Beautiful Losers show in Baltimore. Look for it in independent bookstores, on newsstands, or buy it from their website.

Pyrat XO Reserve and Cask 23 Rums
by Evan Orensten
Discovered on a recent trip to Anguilla (though available everywhere) these blended rums make for some fine sipping. Unlike the sweet garden variety rums (or worse, the new fad of flavored rums) that you add to Coke or other mixers, these rums are made to be enjoyed solo, like fine Tequila or Cognac. Blended, aged and bottled in Anguilla, they're made from a variety of Caribbean rums. The Pyrat XO Reserve is a blend of many 15 year old rums and is an affordable addition to any bar. We found it online for around $50. For the serious connoisseur the Pyrat Cask 23 may be in order. Blended from 40 year old rums and further aged in an oak cask to a remarkable result. It may be the best rum I've tasted. Precious few bottles of this little liquid luxury are made. The pleasure will set you back around $300, and can be ordered online here.
Cableyoyo Pop
by Ami Kealoha
From the Los Angeles-based Bluelounge, the same design studio that brought last year's prize-winning Cableyoyo, comes the Cableyoyo Pop, a device designed to neatly secure wires to mobile music players or phones. Following the same basic design principle of the original, a flat plastic "yo-yo" hub winds wires safely out of the way. The key difference is a smaller size, a suction cup that attaches the piece to your mobile, and built-in clips that hold wires in place. The handy gadget dresses up your technology too with a selection of included art decals. Bluelounge will introduce the Pop this week in Las Vegas at CES and it will retail for $9.95 at select stores.
See it in use after the jump.
