The Shinola Runwell and Building American Products...
I like Shinola. I like their bikes, journals, watches and most importantly the story they’re creating. But I really only want to talk about their watches for a moment. Their first watch, the Runwell, is a limited edition $550 Quartz timepiece. Many people immediately dismiss the watch at this point, but I believe there’s more to it. Some things cost more because they’re worth...

Thoughts on Distraction
I highly recommend doing things that force you to not become distracted. Ride a bicycle or go for a run. Ride a motorcycle. Drive a car with no radio or air conditioning. These are just some things that I do to spur my own thought and idea creation. They require me to focus almost wholly on the task at hand. Because I can’t multitask while doing those things, my mind is allowed to...

Adrift
I’m currently reading Adrift: Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea by Steven Callahan and I’m really enjoying it. Reading his story of exploration and survival in the unknown gets my adventurer gears cranking pretty hard. “To my mind, voyaging through wildernesses, be they full of woods or waves, is essential to the growth and maturity of the human spirit. It is in the wilderness that you really...

iPhone Home Screen | April 25th, 2013
I’m still moving things around but this is what I’m happy with at the moment. I can’t find the true sweet spot… Oh and I added Instapaper with Pocket because a few people recommended it and I wanted to give it a try.

Wild Waters
These photos were originally found on the Huckberry; Rogue Waves There’s something about the ocean that pulls me in. I grew up near the water but was never more a part of it than simple family trips to the beach. For some reason, I feel immensely comfortable on a boat and it doesn’t matter if it’s a canoe or a fishing boat. I’d love to take one of those trips where...

Field Notes "America the Beautiful"
With some birthday money, I signed up for a Field Notes subscription and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Right off the bat, they sent out their latest limited edition memo books, “America the Beautiful”. These in particular are gorgeously imperfect. Also included was a water transfer decal that I’m sure will look amazing on the rear window of an old truck.  ...

My Grocery Store Knows How to Throw a Party. No...
My local Safeway grocery store just finished a huge remodel and to kick off the unveiling, they had an exclusive preview a day before the official grand opening. This event was invite only and business attire was requested. If you think that sounds fancy, just wait. It’s usually easy to find a space in the parking lot near the front of the store but that night, the lot was nearly full....

I won’t get into details like I did last time but there have been a few additions since my last home screen post. Here are the most notable ones.

88RDR Black Chrono Review
A couple of months ago, I entered a contest on Facebook to win a new watch. I actually all but forgot about it until I received an email telling me that I had won the $580 88RDR Black Chrono from Rue du Rhone. Free is a excellent price for just about anything and I was more than excited to get a new watch. Just a week or two prior to winning this contest, I purchased a Maratac Pilot watch...

Thoughts on the balance of your electronic devices...
I feel as if I keep reading about people who are turning away from their smart phones, limiting their electronic use, or even taking time off from the Internet. I have nothing against that. I understand why they are doing it and I feel it’s probably a good thing for people to do from time to time. I’m actually a bit jealous in an odd way. The problem is, this seems to be a...

iPhone Home Screen | December 1st, 2012
It’s the first of the month and I thought that’s a perfect time as any to share my iPhone home screen. Actually, after analyzing my home screen for this little post, I already know of a few things I’m going to change but for now, this is it. By the way, what’s on your home screen or what are your favorite apps? [This isn’t iPhone exclusive either.] Dock  These...

Using Fire to Charge Your Phone
For some people, the BioLite stove may be a bit gimmicky. It’s a backpacking stove that uses wood for fuel and can charge your USB devices. Sure I bring my iPhone with me when I hike but I don’t usually need to charge it. For cooking meals, I’ll usually boil water over an open fire or my Fancy Feast alcohol stove. The BioLite initially seemed to be overkill but I think I was...
