This fountain pen by Dunhill is great accessory piece. Getting a great pen is almost like a style panacea, everything it graces just seems more stylish. A few designer pens in the office or in a coat or shirt pocket lets customers and employees alike know that you mean business. They also make great gifts for almost any occasion unless, of course, the recipient of said gift is unable to move their hands or is illiterate.

This particular pen, the Sentryman Black Tie Fountain Pen, is a limited edition by Dunhill, so owning one of these is something not every yahoo on the globe can do, just the yahoos that read our site and listen to our great advice.

A classically British look, the pen is bold, simple, and masculine with some beautiful engraving featured on the tip. Truly a pen for men of a higher class.

A game of cards is one the best ways to get away, catch up with old friends, and get some extra spending money all in one night. It’s an easy opportunity for drinking and humiliating one’s friends, two of my personal favorite past times.  There’s nothing better thank drinking some good beer, cracking jokes, and winning money, even if you’re just playing for “fun” (right). Get an easy psychological edge when playing your buddies by stocking up on professional poker gear, and I don’t mean nudie cards(though always a plus), I mean something like the official World Poker Tour luxury poker set. That way when you start winning, your friends wonder if you’ve been watching ESPN poker tournaments and reading up on card counting.

Even if you called with a 2-7 Off suit. Fool.

Check out this new addition to the highly popular line of turbo lighters from Dunhill.  The Turbo Matt Black Alligator Lighter. Any guy who smokes, be it cigarettes or cigars, knows that a great lighter can really make a great impression on someone else.

When a lady friend asks you to light her cigarette, usually they are very impressed when you light it with a regular Zippo instead of a run of the mill Bic lighter.Now imagine what would happen if you lit her smoke with one of these bad boys from Dunhill?

That’s right, a hand job on the spot.

The palladium construction on this thing is top notch but it is that black alligator jacket that really makes this a beautiful piece and sure to be an heirloom in your family for years to come. That is until your slacker son starts using to smoke that reefer. Hippie.

If you’ve been on Facebook lately and noticed your friends don’t have as many default pictures with white tigers as you’d like? Have you begun to notice than not everyone gets personal wall posts by Dennis Rodman. In other words, are your friends on Facebook not as rich as you’d like them. Introducing Affluence.org.

The Facebook for the ultra rich. Membership is free and includes invitation to the most exclusive parties you’ve never heard of. Priority access to the top restaurants, hotels, and of course, nightclubs. And the ability to network with some of the most influential people around the world. It’s a phenomenal concept and one that is undoubtedly receiving a lot of buzz and over 500 applicants a day.

Unfortunately less than 1% of applicants get accepted because you need to demonstrate a yearly income over $300,000, a net worth over $3 million, or personal invitation from 5 other members (the easiest way to get in). In other words, it’s a little trickier than signing up for the real Facebook.

We’ll see you on the inside if you get in.

Thanks to Rodrigo Duarte for the tip.

It’s no secret that Apple plans to come out with a tablet computer sometime by the end of the year. A simple google search will yield hundreds of legitimate results. What we know is that the tablet will be somewhere between seven to ten inches and aimed at web browsing, note taking, email, and digital media. It will fill the void between the iPod Touch and Macbook line. Both in terms of performance and price point. Speculated to sell between $500-$700 dollars, this item is sure to be very popular come Christmas time. We don’t know how useful it will be, but it’s nice that Apple is attempting to compete with the new Net-book trend. And the theorized photo’s don’t look so bad either.

That’s still no excuse to look at that in public.

EDIT: Recent rumors have priced the tablet at $900 and due to be released next year. It will also boast an 8-10 inch OLED screen.
