The New Jawbone bluetooth headset is very nice from a technology and design perspective. This Jawbone headset has NoiseAssassin technology which was originally developed for military use. This technology distinguishes your voice from background noise to separate the bad stuff from the good stuff. It also incorporates a Voice Activity Sensor for better performance and touch-surface technology so there are no visible buttons. This Jawbone does not just perform well, it looks awesome. Designed by Yves Behar, the new Jawbone is made with medical-grade plastic and is 50% smaller than the original. You can also get the optional fine leather earloops to go with it. Other details Range = up to 33 feet Talk time = 4 hours+ Standby time = over 8 days Charging time = 80% in 35 minutes, full charge in less than an hour Supports Bluetooth 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0 Where To Buy The New Jawbone Jawbone.com - $129.99

Here's a great video from TED Talks of Yves Behar discussing how to create and design objects that tell stories. This guy designed a hybrid ski-windsurfer when he was a skid and was racing on frozen lakes in the winter in Switzerland. "It was really a death-trap," he says. The moral of this video is that everything a bachelor does tells a story. Objects, food, activities, etc. If you're filling your body with bad junk food, people are going to notice how you look. It will be in your story. If you're treating girls right, but not forgetting about your own interests or values, you will gain respect and even more girls will notice. It will be in your story. And lastly, a bachelor's home reveals a lot of stories. How do you want your story to read?

Single Guy's Kitchen has a great post about cooking with Tofu. While you may say that Tofu is for sissies and lame vegetarians, today's modern bachelor must be flexible and open to new ideas. You're not going to cancel a date with a really amazing girl, just because she doesn't eat meat are you? There are far more important things than food, and just because she doesn't eat meat, doesn't mean you can't. A true bachelor never sucks up or is too nice, but he does aim to please. This is why it's nice to know how to cook with Tofu, so you can show off your skills at the right time. Doesn't mean I think tofu tastes good, but hey, we all have our opinions. So what does this have to do with design? A block of tofu for a chef is sort of like a piece of stone for a sculptor or a blank canvas for a painter. It's just sitting there waiting for you to cut/slice and turn it into a piece of art (amazing dinner for your beautiful vegetarian).

Sake (as most Americans know it) is a famous Japanese alcoholic beverage that is made by fermenting rice. In Japan Sake is a term used to describe alcohol or alcoholic beverages in general. Some say that it's current form dates back to the 3rd century BC in Japan; others say that "rice brewing" originated in China. Regardless of what you believe about Sake history, it is a great drink for a bachelor to have in his bar. It's unique and having Sake at your bachelor pad says something about you--you're not a college kid who likes to drink Keystone or Busch Light. You're a serious man who has interesting tastes and habits. This 3 piece Japanese Sake set is very option for any Sake connoisseur. Its got a soft design that stands out and is attractive, but isn't too loud. Where To Buy Amazon.com - $22.99

If you're an audio-junkie like me then you want your music sounding as crystal clear as possible. Some people may like a lot of bass but I prefer clean, non-distorted sound that let's the music speak for itself. I bought this NAD C350 integrated amplifier for the stereo system that's in my bedroom. I use it to power a basic Mirantz CD player with 2 floor speakers (PSB Alpha T series). This setup is especially good for use in a small room. The sound I get with this setup is not just clear, it's loud. I've actually never turned the volume up on my NAD C350 past halfway because it's so loud. It is very easy to adjust the volume though, due to the giant knob on the right. From a design point, the NAD C350 won't win any awards. It's simple, even plain-looking. But its performance is what matters, and there is nothing lacking in this department. If you had to give it a weakness, it would be that it's only a 2-channel amplifier. But do you really need more than 2 speakers for music, if you have good ones? I don't think so. Here's some more info about this amp: 60W ...

I'm a big fan of this black retro-style living room lounge chair. Looks like it's got a great design that hints at th 50s, but would still be comfortable. The chair has a wood frame and is covered with vinyl. It would go great in your living room because it's nice, but not too nice. Perfect for the bachelor pad.

Every sophisticated bachelor that knows anything about creating the perfect bachelor pad knows that things revolve around the couch/sofa. It's where you spend most of your time entertaining women, friends and watching TV. This black goetz sofa is distinctive and crisp. The design utilizes plywood as its shell in a nod to Herman Miller. A great feature is that the covers on the cushions have zippers, which allows for easy removal and cleaning. Where To Buy High Brow Furniture - $4999
