Its hard can resist the lure of a little combo like this, especially since I’ve been doing a lot of fishing lately. First there’s the keychainable Clutch multi-purpose tool–a mere 2-1/2 inches when closed with little evidence of what’s inside. Slide it open, and you?ve got instant access to an amazingly strong needlenose mini-pliers, a knife blade, gritty file, nail cleaner, three screwdrivers (two flat, one Phillips), tweezers, and a bottle opener. It?s brilliant. Second, the EVO Jr. knife has a slick little 440 stainless steel blade coated with titanium nitride for superior corrosion resistance. It flips open with one hand and fits beautifully in a pocket–perfect for hiking, fishing, and a hunt in the woods.

There’s a fun Calvin & Hobbes strip about the inner hobbyist in all of us has a niche magazine to hold on to, for Calvin it’s about chewing gum. See this example

My own obsession is Runner’s World, a magazine that can month after month churn out essentially the same story about jogging, racing, dieting and running gear. It’s a fine distinction from a magazine to the next but it really helps to stay healthy, fit and motivated so I totally adore it

I am half joking on the above but I do have some favorite features:
- rave run: a gorgeous photo with a runner and an awesome place to run
- running map: each month a beautifully drawn map in a different city with 3 running routes
- diet on the run: a chef who usually runs talks about his favorite thing to eat before or after a run, includes a recipe
- much more!

Magazines are cheap, they are cool to look forward to (you know, like the opposite of spam) and best of all subscriptions make them even cheaper!

Subscribe to Runner’s World for a year (12 issues): $20 ($1.67/issue, save $34 = 63%) from Amazon, more information at runnersworld.com

I’m a big fan of Chinese food (actually any food) and being the independent soul that I am, I also like to cook for myself, and others sometimes. If you want to make true Chinese food you need a Wok, nothing else will get as hot. This Le Creuset Wok is not only made of the required materials, shaped like it needs to be, it is also great looking, and that’s not to be sneezed at! Cooking that perfect stir fry will be a breeze, time to impress your date! It is available in four colors, Black and Kiwi is my favorite. In my fashion sense Kiwi color should not look good on things like this, but it actually does, it can be a great supplement to a light-colored kitchen. Also, the Kiwi color was originally more expensive than the rest! Save 14% at Shop.com on the Black Wok (originally $210)

A while back we had Photoshop CS2 on Stuffiti, and since then, the new version, CS3 has arrived. Today I want to introduce a great book, for those of you who have some skill in art and Photoshop. To tell you the truth, I really enjoy dabbling in Photoshop, and trying the techniques in these books, but I have no artistic talent whatsoever, so perhaps amateurs can have some fun with this book too. The author, Derek Lee, a world renowned artist, will show you how to paint, sculpt, use comic book coloring techniques and so on. If this is your cup of tea, be sure to look into it, despite the fact that the freaky cover art is a bit scary (she looks like a weird Klingon warrior).
