Review: The RFID fraud-proof HuMn wallet

For a man, one of the most tedious decisions he can make in life is choosing the right wallet to stick with for a long period of time. Big, small, vertical and horizontal; they come in all shapes and sizes. Right when we find the one we really like, something new is introduced to us that completely throws off our equilibrium and makes us second guess everything we have been doing thus far. Ok, admittedly, I may have exaggerated my point just a wee bit, but picking a good wallet is really hard and not a decision to take lightly. After 29 years, I have finally settled on keeping my cards and cash separate and, for the most part I am happy.

Recently, I was pitched on a Kickstarter project that caught my eye: the HuMn wallet. Simplistic and cool, it aimed to hold both my cash and cards, while protecting me from dreaded RFID fraud (thieves who steal your card information directly from your pockets).

Perfect, huh? So I bit and opted for the neon green iteration.

Hands-on with Rogers $80 United States Talk, Text & Data Plan

Roaming charges are the result of a nasty oversight that could have been prevented.

They are often exorbitant fees that creep up like last months cold and, if not taken care of, can ruin what could have been an otherwise wonderful getaway.

You see many of us, in the rush of vacation preparation; forget to call our respective carriers to add that insurance policy.

We then proceed to scream to the high heavens when we use our devices as if we’re home and then proceed to receive a bill with charges that could likely equal the average mortgage payment.

I feel your pain.

Spring is here: what I am wearing and carrying

By Corey Herscu

I don't think I can express how elated I am to be writing this post. Parka weather (finally) seems to be a bitter distant memory and we - as loving Torontonians - can peel off the layers and start showing our true street style; such brings the inspiration for this post. I've been asked numerous times what my 'go-to' apparel is, so I figured why not throw something together? Pictured above and detailed below is set to be my street style for this Spring 2014.
