Friday, August 16th, 2013The TIHK – Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key
Thursday, August 15th, 2013The TIHK, or Tiny Inconspicuous Handcuff Key, is exactly what the name implies, a small handcuff key designed to be hidden on one’s person. The TIHK features an attachment clip, minimal form factor, and a non-reflective matte coating to insure it remains undetected when detained. The key is designed to fit all standard “peerless” single and double-lock handcuffs. While concealable handcuff keys/unlock tools are nothing new, unlike other examples, this particular product is currently up for crowdfunding to fund the manufacturing process.

Star Trek Into Darkness Starfleet Phaser Limited Edition Gift Set
Tuesday, July 30th, 2013Star Trek Into Darkness is coming out for home release soon, and Amazon is offering an exclusive blu-ray set that comes with a replica starfleet phaser. Made using the same molds Quantum Mechanix used when creating the prop phasers for the movie, the replica phaser is made from solid polystone core enrobed in metal plating with several finishes — brushed aluminum, gun metal, and chrome. The replica is spring-loaded with an active locking mechanism that allows the phaser to be switched from stun to kill. Too bad they aren’t selling the replica separate.

Go Ape Treetop Adventure Course
Monday, July 29th, 2013Go Ape Treetop Adventure Courses are a chain of treetop obstacle courses where you’re secured to lines using a harness and pulley system, with a zip line at the end of every course. Running through the entire thing generally takes between 2-3 hours and there are splits in many of the courses with different obstacles for different skill levels. There’s also a junior course for the little guys. I went to the Freedom Park location in Williamsburg on Saturday and had a great time with the family. Plus, Go Ape contributes a portion of their proceeds and stewardship services to the parks they’re located in.
