For the last couple of months (or more?) Amazon has been recommending this light bar to me, but since I already had one, I kept scrolling. Then Quntis reached out to ask if I wanted a review sample of the Quntis Monitor Light Bar Glow 16.1 inch (41 cm) Grey, and I accepted — I needed to know how well this light worked given how much less expensive it is than the leading brand(s).
It’s been about a month of full-time use on this, and it’s very good, and when you factor in the value proposition, it’s fantastic. Let’s dive in.

When I was offered the chance to have a review sample of Meermin’s new ‘Welted Deck Shoe’ sent over, I jumped at it. I am a huge fan of Meermin’s offerings, finding the finishing, style, and comfort of every pair I have tried to be fantastic. I am happy to say that these deck shoes are no different: great looking, well made, and comfortable.
I’ve been wearing these for several weeks now, and I would happily spend my own money on these if something were to happen to them. Let’s dive into why.




Whew, I saw this show up on a website, and I love the way it looked. Then I dove into the details and it seemed like the kind of knife I could perfectly justify buying, as I have nothing else like it.
This is a beast of a knife, and it’s absolutely fantastic.


This week: Om, Macs, and iPhones.
## We Lost a Good One
This past week, Om Malik passed. That was sad news to hear across the tech-blogosphere, as he’s been a staple for a very long time. He was a kind man. Not someone I was close enough with where I’d say he was a friend, but certainly an acquaintance.
The type of guy who would send me the odd email, which would lead to a back-and-forth email conversation which might last months. He’d ask me for advice on a new blog or newsletter setup. Why me? I don’t know, but I always loved his curiosity.
The type of guy who, when I was looking for work and reached out to him, put me in touch with the founder and CEO of a company in mere hours. A nice guy. A genuine guy. We shared emails, video chats, and the like, but never found ourselves in the same locale at the same time.
The world is a little less bright without him.
