127 Hours Movie
“Decision Points” by GWB
If you watched Oliver Stone’s “W” with Josh Brolin portraying George W. Bush, than you know GW’s background. A Yale Bonesman, Harvard MBA, Texas Rangers owner, and US President. Yet the internet and media made him look so stupid sometimes you actually felt bad for the most powerful man in the nation. The fact is he’s intriguing and charismatic in his own ways. Who wouldn’t want to pick his brain a little over a round of golf or beers? “Decision Points” is his memoirs recounting his days in office (video preview by GWB here). Retail $35 (purchase the hardcover and Kindle editions through Amazon for $18.90 and $9.99 respectively)
2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor SuperCrew
The majority of Raptor owners will never drive it to its full capability, but it’s still nice to know all that power and travel is on tap. The new 2011 Raptor SuperCrew is powered by a 6.2L V8 pushing 411 horsepower. Which makes it even more over the top when compared to the 5.8L V8 in the 2010 model. This is the best looking off road truck straight from the factory that doesn’t need a ridiculous 10″ lift. The extra 7″ of width over the standard F-150 keeps you more stable when airborne. An extended cab version is also available, but baja jumping is more fun with four other friends screaming like little girls. Retail $44,315
Logitech Revue with Google TV
Let the Google TV device war begin! The Revue lets you tap into Google TV to surf the web, download apps, and view digital media. Now you don’t have to watch those illegally downloaded movies on your desktop monitor. A keyboard is included for easy typing and browsing on your HDTV. A new lineup of HDTV’s featuring Google TV built-in are hitting the market, but for people with an old plasma this is a great option. Can’t believe plasmas are considered old school now, remember when those old Sony Wegas were popular? They were also damn heavy to move. Retail $299.99 (add the Logitech TV Cam to video chat in HD, $149.99)
SimpleHuman Rectangular Step Can
The garbage can has evolved into a crucial piece of your interior decor. It has to be big enough to hold a decent amount of trash, feature a removal liner, and look good doing its job.

Adidas Revolution 30 NBA Jerseys

Adidas’ Formotion fabric technology reduces fabric chaffing where it counts the moist. The biggest visual improvment is they won’t be as shiny and shimmery since the material is mesh. Word.
