Tail of the Tiger Golf Balls

The creator of these golf balls estimates he sold $45,000 worth in one day.  You could say business is good for Tiger Woods’ novelty golf balls.  The slogan is quite hilarious, “He likes to play a round with them… now you can too!”  It’s a shame they weren’t printed on Nike One golf balls.  Retail $44.95/dozen

Recently I’ve been going tie crazy searching all over for quality handmade ties.  A friend of mine linked me to a video lookbook for Windmill Club ties.  The silk cut patterns are classic and timeless.  My favorite is the Huntsman Club Tie.  Retail $58

Pizza Greenbox

It’s about time pizza boxes developed into something more useful.  The Greenbox, manufactured from 100% recyclable materials, breaks apart into four serving plates and a mini storage box for leftovers.  Encourage your local pizzeria to start using these.

Late Night with The Roots Mixtape

It’s a shame that Conan isn’t able to continue his Tonight Show, but the good news is that we still have The Roots on Late Night.  There were a lot of skeptics critical of Jimmy Fallon’s band selection, but ?uestlove and his crew are playing the right tune with the show’s younger audience, hosting many artists – and non-musicians – to take the stage with them.  There aren’t many house bands that have that kind of rapport.

As a result of these late night sessions, the show’s vault is full of brilliant performances which The Roots have compiled into a mixtape (find your copy on the web). My personal favorites:  Mighty Mos and THE BEASTIES.  So what’cha what’cha what’cha want!
