  • GORUCK Simple Shorts

    Really quick: I’ve had a pair of Simple Shorts in Coyote for a while now, but rarely wore them. This summer I’ve been wearing them a lot more, especially since they are one of the few shorts that fit me well (lost some way, yay?). Anyways, they are deceptively good. I won’t say they look […]

  • Yeoman Duffel from TOM BIHN Back In Stock For Limited Time

    Tom Bihn just released a batch of Yeoman Duffels in many sizes and colors (including Beaver Camo). They aren’t committing fully to when/if the next run will be.

    I really think you need to know how good RAVPower and Studio Neat are.

    Is this the best pen you can buy, yeah, probably.

    I wish more people were grasping how huge the seemingly small changes are for not just iPadOS, but iOS too — not so much for macOS though.

    This is the slip joint you should spend your money on, it is fantastic.

    Apple News is really fantastic, but people hate it because we are used to the firehose approach of scrolling through content — that’s not Apple News.

  • What Are You Really ‘Prepping’ For? Weather, Mostly.

    What I prepare for is too boring for people to even self-publish books on, but it matters.

  • Mystery Ranch 3-Way Expandable Briefcase Review

    One of the best office bags I have tested, with a killer admin area, and really good backpack straps making the convertible nature useful.
