Cool Stuff of the Week: Goldbely, OnePlus One, Monopoly: Walking Dead Edition, and More…
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m kind of a sucker for cool stuff. I like nifty gadgets, quirky decoration pieces, nice clothes (and shoes!), good books, and fun games.
In this series of weekly posts, I share whatever currently has my fancy. Maybe some of it will catch yours as well! (Oh and in case you’re wondering, while I do participate in Amazon’s affiliate program, I’m not paid to promote anything.)
VIDEO OF THE WEEK:
BEST OF THE WEB 5
Such great editing in these “Best of Web” videos. Enjoy!
GOLDBELY
You’re gonna love and hate me for telling you about Goldbely.
Goldbely’s team call themselves “explorers of food” and they’re on a mission to discover all things delicious. Specifically, they seek out legendary dishes from local restaurants and renowned food artisans and then set it up so you can get them shipped directly to your door.
So, what do you want for your next cheat meal? The best Chicago deep-dish pizza? The best bagels in New York? Heavenly brownies from Ohio? Goldbely is your ticket.
MONOPOLY: THE WALKING DEAD SURVIVAL EDITION
Like Monopoly and The Walking Dead? Well, here you go. 
This game delivers a classic Monopoly experience of wheeling and dealing, but adds a “survival” element: you must fortify the real estate and resources you own against zombie invasion and out-last the rest of the players.
The artwork on the game is great, the customized game pieces are unique and fun, and I liked the “short-game” mode.
All in all a great spin on Monopoly!

OUTDOOR TECHNOLOGY BUCKSHOT WIRELESS SPEAKER
If you want a small, versatile speaker that you can use on bike rides, hikes, or other outdoors activities, I think you’ll really like the Buckshot.
The sound is clear and it gets loud enough to enjoy on a bike ride, it’s really easy to attach to various things, and the battery life gives you a solid 4-5 hours of listening.

ONEPLUS ONE
I like my S4, but damn, this thing is a monster.
The OnePlusOne starts at a very affordable $299 (for 16 GB) and the tech specs are very impressive:
2.5 ghz Snapdragon Quad-Core processor
3 GB of ram
13 MP Sony camera sensor with a 6-layered lens for unparalleled picture quality
5 MP front-facing camera
Stereo recording and tri-microphone noise cancelling technology
And much more…
It also runs on a beautifully customized version of Cyanogenmod (Android).
When I’m ready for a new phone, this will be my next.
