Mad men, which is set in the 1960’s around the men (and women) of Madison Avenue who develop the art of spin and really what advertising is today. Is set to return for another season starting Sunday on AMC (check your local cable/satellite listings). I love this show, first its total guy/dude/dad sprinkle in the women (who were still fighting for equal rights at the time this is set is clearly being shown). Beyond that its just awesome how much cooler things look then compared to now… yes I’m a total retro junkie but you know what everything was made better back then (heck even iphones were made better a year or two ago – lol [I’m an apple lover just needed to put it out there])… But really the cars built there are still running today, the furniture built then was solid like toss two toddlers on the desk and let them jump and not a dent – today you’d have two kids on the floor crying with splintered polyboard wood chips around them.
One thing I love about Don Draper is in the show which we’ve now reached mid-1960’s we only seen Don unshaven like once! So I gotta ask how does he get that amazing shave?! it must be the Art of Shaving, I’ll admit I’m not a razor user daily I’m really more of a once a week kind of guy… I like the stubble – my wife hates it.
I’ve used Art of Shaving products in the past – they really make shaving something a little retro and something very cool. I could never get as close with my electric razor then I can with a straight raiser and using some of the products in this art of shaving kit makes that shave last a little longer and get a lot closer because if you can raise the hairs, then you’ll cut them closer (which will help save off that 4 o’clock shadow a few hours longer).
Sure this could be your fake business card… or you can use

I’ve always loved the simple fact that my sons loves music. Its something about a toddler and music that just go together like peanut butter and jelly. For the last few months its been all about pianos because the keys are way safer then string guitars.
Enter the modern age guitar by paper jam – this thing rocks! With a great senors that play cords and songs. It really is paper thin and I must admit although its marketed as a kids toy – I’ve totally found myself playing it again and again. The sound volume is great and clear, which isnt always the case with kids toys. The art on the guitar is awesome and the response from the senors is magical.
Really one of the biggest concerns with little kids and guitars is that’ll they slice their finger if they hit the string in a certain way, but there is no strings here. This would make an amazing gift for any kid that is even the slightest musically inclined. While I was demoing the guitar they also make a drum and a amp. I’m sure the quality that is in the guitar is also in the drums and amp.
Each instrument comes with a set list of songs and they’re coming out in series so they’ll be a factor of collectible on top of the fact you’ll want some different songs. I’m totally down with my kid learning to love classic rock, as I’m sure my wife would love him to learn country music (dont forget she’s from Texas). My set list was Born to be wild, Mississippi Queen, and Smoke on the water all songs that I truly love!
Here is the commercial that will be airing on TV (if you haven’t already seen it!) but then again it just came out, so maybe you haven’t!

Being a dad is hard work, being a great dad is even harder work – there is so much juggling going on I feel like I’m in the circus from time to time. Gotta balance the job/family/and your own sanity its a lot to handle. When you think about what dad wants sure he could use a new fancy Kodak Playsport video camera [Amazon] that we can take in the pool with the kids but that’s not enough give him something that he can have on his desk at work like a piece of art work. Give him a TROPHY!
No not one of those silly little league trophies they give to everyone for being a good sport and not quitting the team, when they were benched for the coach’s kid to get some extra playing time. I mean MAN TROPHY! I can already hear the sound of Tim Allen from his home improvement tv show of grrr grrr grrrr 🙂 you know what I’m talking about…
Check out this video – this thing is a beast!
FantasyTrophies.com [Link] was founded by Dave Mitri, nearly 15 years ago, when he sculpted the Armchair Quarterback, for his own fantasy football league, out of his garage in Cleveland, Ohio. He now produces trophies for nearly every fantasy related sport and has moved the operation to a shop in Brooklyn, NY where he continues to produce the highest quality, most original trophies for diehard fantasy sports fanatics.
The giveaway is this incredible trophy!

The Jabra HALO is a wireless Bluetooth stereo headset that allows users to enjoy wireless music and answer phone calls in crystal clear stereo sound. Featuring A2DP technology, the Jabra HALO gives users the ability to seamlessly connect to any Bluetooth music-playing device – and all 3.5 mm music playing devices – including mobile phones, Mp3 players, laptops, and TVs. In addition, ensuring that users won’t miss phone calls while listening to music, the HALO fades out music to allow for incoming calls. The HALO features a lightweight (only 3 ounces!) over-the-head design with a foldable headband – small enough to take it wherever you go. The HALO also has the versatility to switch between wireless and wired connectivity if a device doesn’t support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP) technology. The device also features Zirene® Power Bass for audio enhancement.
The Jabra STONE, the most sleek and stylish Bluetooth on the market allows busy moms to look good on the go. The STONE elegantly wraps behind the ear eliminating the on-face microphone look, combining style and function. Make play dates, speak to colleagues, or make dinner plans for a girl’s night out – all without anyone even knowing you are wearing a Bluetooth device! New noise cancelling technology ensures every phone call will be clear and uninterrupted by whatever noise surrounds you throughout your day. In addition, the STONE comes with a portable charger so it is always easy to re-charge.
The Jabra CRUISER is the first Bluetooth wireless speakerphone to feature noise cancelling technology, allowing it to block out background noise from traffic or other passengers while enhancing the quality of your voice. In addition, the CRUISER can play music from the radio and your phone or portable music players (iPod/MP3 players) through your cars stereo system, so you’ll never miss a call because you couldn’t hear your phone. The CRUISER allows you to speak on the phone when you drive in compliance to hands free driving laws, making it extremely useful for moms on the go whether you are driving to soccer practice or going to work. Never again will you have a frustrating phone call where you have to repeat everything you say because no one can hear you over the kids singing along in the backseat!
I’ve had all three of these devices for a few weeks now and I can tell you how cool they are until you’ve got them in your hands – the sound is amazing! Best part is if your using these to speak with someone, they can actually hear you! I had these devices synced to my iPhone 3G in less then 2 minutes.
It was that easy!
The Halo works as wireless headphones and also a headset mic. The sound that comes out of these speakers is amazing and crystal clear.
The Stone is a typical bluetooth headset expect the base part of it will recharge the wireless piece this is great for the always on the phone executive or just on the go dad.
It frees up your hands when pushing a stroller too!
The Cruiser is a speaker phone (designed for the car) but will work anyplace – the speaker is at least 5 times louder then the speaker built into the iPhone (meaning you can actually use a speaker phone call).
I love these products so much I wanted to give everyone a shot at winning. There will be 3 – yes THREE winners 1 prize per person.
