The weekend wants to know how you like your steak.
BUCKET LIST
A Beer Bucket That Opens Your Bottles
You’ve picked up the steaks, and the Cubans (you have a guy), and cued up your BBQ playlist (“Eternal
Flame”) for your Labor Day cookout. You’re only missing one thing. A bucket for beer. That also opens
bottles. And is made of bacon. (One of these is not true.)
ISLAND SWAPPING
Getting Into the Private Island Game
You and your private island have had a great run, but maybe it’s time for a change. To another private
island. Here to help: a new website that can help you buy, sell and/or flip your secret getaway for, say, a
small country in the Caribbean archipelago. Just be sure to check their extradition laws first.

BUMP AND RUN
Connecting on Your Commute
You’re driving to the office. Pulling up next to you, a ringer for Miranda Kerr. You exchange glances. And
then you do what comes naturally: take out your phone and enter your daily travels into a new social
networking site that connects you to nearby commuters. Or you could just roll down the window and ask for
her number.
PREP WORK
Your New Fall Sweater
You made yourself a promise. This is the fall you finally get one of those elbow-patched sweaters. Howard
Yount is your man—the grandson of a small-town haberdasher turned purveyor of prep items like tartan ties,
linen pocket squares and the aforementioned sweater. You can always trust someone named Yount.

WORD VIEW
Your Next Photo and Literary Masterpiece
So you’ve had this epic photo sitting around. (Okay, it’s you, riding a Bengal tiger.) And weirdly
enough, you’ve got this great piece of writing that goes along with it. (Your eloquent apology to the
zoo.) It’s time to combine them, through a new site that uses your photos and words to create a giant
framable print. The tiger wants you to have this.
