A truly righteous fellow, or hirsute woman, will know that a wiry, dried out beard is an affront which should be punishable by death. The wisely whiskered are aware that proper maintenance of a decent beard requires moisturizing and lubricating to make it more manageable, softer, less itchy, and keep not only the hair above, but the skin below healthy and happy. A man who doesn’t go through the routine of oiling his beard doesn’t care how clean it is, how well-scented, how touchably downy, or how his fuzzy countenance appears to others....

Anyone who spends time outdoors knows firsthand how important it is to pack efficiently. You don’t want to lug around huge pieces of equipment, or massive amounts of gear unless you absolutely need it. You’ll be able to lighten your load by sleeping in a hammock.

Another arena that has grown in popularity is crafts, including the high art, advanced science, and incredible skill of paper airplane construction....

Though we’re constantly bombarded with images, more and more of which are rendered digitally rather than in the real world, we rarely think of these things as art. As Andy Warhol showed, sometimes the only difference between a work of corporate branding and artistry is perspective.

Citroen has revealed a new concept car at the Geneva Motor Show, the Citroen Survolt Concept. Based rather clearly on the scary sexy Citroen Revolte, the Survolt is a pink-trimmed, black-and-bold concept supercar that we wish would hit production. It likely won’t, as this one was built solely to show the design prowess of Citroen this year at Geneva. It didn’t feature and hardware specs, promises of development or any other details– the Survolt’s beauty is sadly only skin deep....
