    Imelda forced me to use government tools and then i realized they are pretty accurate. Huh.

    That thing where I again tell people it is insanity to live in Silicon Valley/SF.

  • Stuart & Lau Cary vs Filson Original Briefcase

    The whole patina thing, and why I choose a lesser bag.

    That thing when you don’t know how to remote work so you turn to me for the stuff people don’t wan to talk about…

    A really great value for a casual watch with a waterproof leather strap.

    A really nice Explorer homage, which comes tantalizingly close to being my everyday watch.

    That thing when you buy the grossest sounding Kolache, but then have a life changing experience eating it.

  • GORUCK GR2 On Sale

    While the GR1 (even in black) has hit $295, the GR2 is at an insanely low price of $355. I have a 34L already but I took this opportunity to pick up a 40L. Can’t beat that price. If you have a 26L GR1, get the 40. Otherwise get the 34L, fantastic bag.

    I still use a Mac at work form time to time, but that’s mostly Outlook’s fault.
