Best of the Best

Emailed to New York: FlyKly
A new, city-ready, dual-wheeled whip designed to solve the issues typically associated with other similar modes of transpo, the FlyKly has a gas-saving lithium-ion battery that goes 1000mi on $1 of electricity, tops out at 20mph (so no license needed), comes with pedals so you can skip traffic using bike lanes, and seats two without needing pegs, which're just lazily waiting around for everything to come back to them.
They'll even ship to our rainy climes, so (electric) motor through the link and marvel at how awesome it would be to ride one through the Big Pink

Emailed to Thrillist Nation: Tatt.ly
From a Swiss-born designer sick of "bad-clip-art" temp tats, Tatt's a new e-shop of weirder ones worked up by her and 14 designer pals from the world over, from pipe-smoking rabbits, to old-school Apple mouse cursors intended for under your eye, though considering it's a temporary tattoo, the only thing you've murdered is your street cred.
Hit the link with your beefy mitts to find out why they should be adorned with the knuckle tats designed by a Portlander

Emailed to DC: Waveborn
Just started by a shady District do-gooder, Waveborn hawks its sleek, moderately-priced sunglasses with the promise to send a free pair of prescription eyewear to those in need with each purchase, an idea inspired by the founder's time executive-producing the Do Something Awards on VH1, where apparently "something" is recycling Flavor of Love characters into as many spin-offs as is profitable.
Try not to be blinded by all the brilliant info at the other side of this link, and find out what you should be doing good with your sunglasses instead of just leering at ladies

Emailed to San Francisco: Heavy Metal Quilts
From an SF Art Institute dude who works part-time setting up tables at Sunday school (that's a job?), this collection of head-banging hangables works his old heavy metal tees (he apparently had hundreds) into a patchwork of hardcore wall-adorners for your pad, which still won't be as cool as Steve Jobs', unless you get Fruit Ninja.
Bang your head against this downy link and delight at how scary, and yet oddly warm, metal can be

Emailed to Boston: Smoopa
From a former Googler and his cadre of MIT buds, Smoopa's a free app that lets you scan in-store barcodes to determine if you're landing a good deal (and if not, show where you can score it cheaper), all in an effort to let you "shop with confidence", so basically it took an MIT education for them to learn that you have to strut into the Galleria with mad Bod Man spray.
Deal with the wealth of info at the other end of this link, then get the deals of your life
