What make a real man is the knowledge on how to prepare the perfect steak. I am slowly teaching myself, but am happy that Lobel has decided to help me out with their Meat Bible! No more prepared, soaked in cheap sauce, steaks from the large Supermarket, but stroll over to the local butcher and use the Meat Bible to guide you to a perfect piece of cooked meat.

Powermat | Wireless Recharging
Today I am sitting behind my Mac, with all kinds of devices hooked up via extension cords to the main power source…. I now have found the thing to make less clutter, but also very stylish to charge all my devices. Powermat is a new gadget that charges your iPhone, Blackberry, iPod, PSP, Nintendo DS, and much more, by just placing it on the beautifully designed mat. You can charge up too 3 devices at a time. All you have to do is use the Powermat case for the iPhone, Special Battery Door, or the universal receiver with your device, and you are set to charge.

The Book Of Conversations | Let’s Start Talking
I hope you are all happy with the Christmas presents you got? If not, I got the great book to exchange it for! I was given The Book Of Conversations this Christmas by James from Perfect Fools and love it. With all raise in Online Social Networks, we are loosing the art of conversation. I notice this especially when I am in a group. The conversation always goes towards what we all do and how we can all make more money. It is never a conversation about a thought provoking questions.

Basta Surf | Riding the Wave Beautifully
I came across BASTA SURF, a collection of swimwear, a few weeks ago, and loved the simplicity of the design. I read further and found out they thy combined fashion and function based on sophisticated shapes and fabric that feels like a second skin. They considered all female body types when creating the collection, while looking at the right material and seaming for the pieces. Another great story is that the hangtag is made of 100% recycled paper and embedded with wildflower seeds. This means you can plant it, water it and watch it grow. Talk about a growing collection! Read the piece on the founder and designer, Samantha August, below and read about why a portion of BASTA’s sales go to Global Water.
