Essential Reading: Sharp’s December/January issue is here!

by Jeremy on November 17th, 2008

The new issue of Sharp went out coast to coast this morning, delicately nestled in 150,000 copies of the Globe and Mail. We apologize in advance for any arguments that will ensue today as spouses spar over who gets to leaf through its glossy pages first. The inevitiability of this occurred to us only after we had committed to run both a feature about Ewan McGregor, and a nice little interview with Dexter’s Julie Benz.

Luckily, we have a plethora of articles that are exclusive to Sharpformen.com, and those are much easier to share. Here’s a taste of what our website has to offer:

The Way Home- After enduring IEDs, rocket fire, and the grim realities of combat in Afghanistan, all Alfred Lai wants to do is go back. Read Lai’s story here.

Patttie Boyd- After being married to both George Harrison and Eric Clapton, she  is one of the most famous muses in rock and roll history. Her new photography exhibition opens a window on some of the most influential musicians of her time. See Boyd’s photos here.

More Sharp Women- We sat down with two of the sexiest women in television: Little Mosque on the Prairie’s Sitara Hewitt and The Tudors‘ Natalie Dormer. See them here.

More Sharp List- Our epic gift guide continues, with some of the most desirable bits of tech gadgetry you’ve ever seen. Find it here.

Where to find it- Like something you’ve seen in the pages of Sharp? Find out where to buy it here.

We hope this resolves any and all disputes, but if not, we recommend His and Hers subscriptions. At only $20, they make a delightful stocking stuffer.

New Gear: Flip Mino HD

by Alex on November 13th, 2008

Yesterday we discussed our love of the gadget, concluding that while they may not be entirely necessary and/or useful, they’re a whole lot of fun and we can’t get enough of them. Today we’re pleased to announce that we’ve found a new device that fulfills our gadgetry jones, and also scores a lot of points in the legitimately useful department. Flip Mino HD is the world’s smallest HD camcorder, recording up to 60 minutes of 720p widescreen HD video to its internal 4GB memory. It only weighs 85 grams and has a 4 cm anti-glare LCD screen.

We love this mini camcorder because it makes us think of the good ol’ days when we’d lug around a 6 lb camcorder on our family vacations,  suffering all manner of awkwardness and inconvenience to capture the perfect shot of the sunset. Happily, those days are a long gone. Now we can shoot everything in HD, making every sunset all the more perfect. Did we mention that this fantastic camcorder costs less than $500? Just another reason to love the Flip Mino.
