Why didn’t I think of that? Check it out.
Cloth covered wiring is cool for all sorts of reasons… I use it as often as I can on projects that call for it. There’s been a shortage of the stuff on the market for the past 6 months or so, but suppliers finally have their asses in gear and you can buy it again. I get mine here.
Yeah, I know… They are expensive, but dammit – they are made in the USA and they are Levi’s. A pair was recently gifted to me and I have to say, they are worth every bit of $200. There is something so reminiscent about raw shrink-to-fit denim. Magical.
OK, this isn’t exactly EDC related… But dammit man, is there anything more american than the webbed lawn chair? And to think, I figured they were obsolete and gone with the wind. I was wrong.
A while back, I went to get my driver’s license renewed and failed the eye exam. So, I took my handicapped self to the eye doctor and they confirmed it – I can’t see worth a shit anymore. Armed with a prescription, I browsed the frames in the store attached to the doctor’s office. Taken aback by the pricing, I drove home on my expired license and began an internet search for a cheaper alternative.
Warby Parker rules. Check them out.
A big day at Leica yesterday… The famous German camera maker announced the new Leica M Monochrom ($8,000), the new X2 ($2000), and the new 50mm Summicron ASPH ($7200) along with a whole host of typical and tasteless special editions. As a diehard Leica fan, I find myself incredibly disappointed. It seems as though Leica is quickly becoming more and more focused on fashion and upscale retail rather than art and photography. It’s a shame…
In any case, you can get details on the new products here.
Let’s get this out of the way first. Fifty-bones is too damned expensive for a key chain bottle popper. Even so, I love the design aesthetic and the work behind the limited edition “Respect” bottle opener. In fact, I like a lot of things about the maker of this little jewel.
Details here.
