Can you imagine what a day without sight would be like? You wouldn’t know how to get through your house, couldn’t drive to work, and everyday tasks would seem like a massive undertaking. Think of how often you look at your phone to see what time it is, and how lost you would feel if you didn’t know what part of the day it was.

Stargazing is rather thought provoking. You think about your meaning in the grand scheme of things, whether or not you’re looking out and being looked at in return, and for the more star-savvy people, naming every star in the vast night sky. Through different parts of the year, we can see different constellations, but once we go home, it doesn’t matter if it’s night or day time, because you are definitely not going to see any stars.

Sorry, can’t help it. We pine for the yesteryears when men were men and recording devices came with boxes of spooled delight tangled around your feet. Yes we’re wearing rosy glasses, but c’mon, do the modern digital equivalents have anywhere near the romance of a gently whooshing tape reel?

Drunk driving kills and injuries hundreds of thousands of people every year across the world, tragedies that could so easily be avoided if people realized they were impaired and opted out of taking the risky trip home.

We’ve all seen enough movies and TV shows to know what an ultraviolet light does. Having one of these feels like you’ve somehow gained access to a superpower, being able to see the unseen. Of course, this has plenty of practical purposes, but will probably be used to feed into your curiosity.

There are days when it sucks being an adult because you see a kids toy that looks amazing and know that it’s too small for you. Little cars that are reminiscent of Mario Kart are often the most interesting, but hardly any of them go fast enough to merit a real ‘race’.

I’ve got a neat little setup going with my Sony NEX camera which involves using two batteries, one of which is in the camera and the other which is fully charged at all times as a spare. That way, when one battery runs out, I just pop it into the handy charger by my desk, put the fully charged 2nd unit into the camera and I’m ready to go again instantly. Hardly rocket science. But I got to wondering whether…

Remember Geocities? That brash, vulgar, messy glorious website building community that defied all the odds to become one of the biggest web services of its time? We loved it. In 1999 Yahoo! bought it, and in typical fashion shut it down in 2009. At the shutdown there were 38 million user pages on Geocities. Go figure.

Having a watch helps you tell time, but is not necessary to wear as we always go for our phones first. As this is one of the few socially acceptable accessories for men, it’s common for males to possess several of them.
