The web is full of secret online weapons stores and places you can legally load up on ammo. But the pen is mightier than the AR-15. Especially this bolt-action bullet pen. It's a pen made of a replica 30-caliber bullet, with a rifle-shaped pocket clip. Anyone who loves guns and writing. At the same time, apparently. Very military. The end of the pen looks like the tip of a bullet, and the ink tip releases like the bolt-action .22 you used at Scout camp. It writes well. The bolt-action release is a little awkward one-handed, but you can do it. (Two-handed operation would be a deal breaker.) The little rifle-shaped pocket clip, which even has a scope. It's a $50 writing utensil. Do you know how many bags of Bic pens $50 buys? Even those Pilot V-Balls are like 2 for $5. The camouflage in the middle is kindy of milky and swirly. It's...pretty. It looks odd on a bullet with a bolt-action release and a rifle clip. Maybe if it was darker, or that digital camo, or something? I...

Jul 26, 2012 2:00 PM   Well isn't this is just about the most perfect little desk lamp around. Called the Luminaire Post, it's two things rolled into one: a light source and a bulletin board. So each time you flip it on, you get a glimpse of the items on your to-do list. Crafted by Brazilian design shop Studio Ninho, the lamp is pretty simple: three wooden legs, a socket, and a cork board shade where you can tack all your notes. It comes in a little tube with all of its pieces, and you get to assemble it yourself; the video below shows how easy that is. And it's a case of form following function—not only is it adorable, but it might help you be a little more productive.

Jul 24, 2012 4:00 PM   Gargantuan Android phones are everywhere. But a lot of people just want something smaller. The Incredible 4G is one of the few phones that isn't the size of a dinner plate, but it also raises a question: Does an Android OS even make sense on smaller screens anymore? The best HTC phone on Verizon—which did not get the HTC One series. Android fans who love small phones. HTC Sense enthusiasts. Beats by Dre fans, maybe, but probably not. It's an HTC phone. It's solidly built, with a matte rubberized back. It's thick enough that, when you first pick it up, you're not sure if it has a slide-out keyboard or not. Using the Incredible never feels like using a premium phone. It's fast, until it's not. Lag creeps in under medium loads. With several apps running, actions like returning to the home page slow to a crawl. The camera. HTC's been making good cameras for a while, going back to the Amaze last year, and definitely including the One ...

Jul 24, 2012 9:00 PM   You could go crazy with a backpack purchase—there are some giant models that would fit a military bunker's worth of stuff. But what if you need something substantial that's also appropriate for carting your laptop into the office each week? Uncrate has teamed up with Topo Designs for a lightweight day backpack ($89). If you suffer from that awful curse where you somehow lose things inside your bag, you'll like this one for its bright orange lining. It comes with a government-issue knife with a two and a half inch blade, and it's got moisture wicking straps, so your back won't be soaked in sweat whether you're commuting to work or hiking off in the wilderness.

Jul 23, 2012 6:40 PM   Maybe you have an apartment the size of a dollhouse. Or maybe you just like to keep everything out of view. Either way, Kitchoo's Compact Kitchens condense appliances and storage space together into very small, sleek packages. They start at around $4,700, and they hide fridges, sinks, cooking spaces, dishwashers, microwaves, and more into a little telescoping module. You might be thinking "hey, that sounds like an RV," but actually these wooden mini-kitchens are very smart looking, and an ingenius way to make a little bit of real estate go a long way.
