Primus | A Thoroughly Creative Experience
When you’ve got it, you’ve got it. And Primus definitely has it. They’ve been around since the mid 1980s and remain consistently solid musically and as heavily experimental and progressive as ever. I typically enjoy three solid meals a day of all-things-music (with extra helpings of rock) and consider myself reasonably well-versed but I wasn’t [...]
Thank you Steve Jobs. We wish you well.
Think Different. Just the words give me a lump in my throat. Not just for the concern over the health of Mr. Jobs, but rather for the inspiration that his company has given me for so many years. I’m not talking about the more recent innovations and products, such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad. [...]
Hatch Show Print | A Working Letterpress Museum
I knew about Hatch Show Print before I actually knew about them. I had seen their posters in shop windows and restaurants and even wine labels they had created, but never knew who was behind the beautiful letterpress print work.
Kaufmann Mercantile Store | All The Best
Since launching our new company General Knot & Co. a few months ago, I’ve become an increasingly enthusiastic Twitter-er and Facebook fan. Whereas both were always great tools to use for keeping in touch with friends, they are now additionally perfect for making connections to entire industries of related products, information and business partners. And [...]

Vintage Fabrics | Neckties | General Knot & Co.
With the encouragement of friends and family (and a whole lot of work), General Knot & Co. has officially become a reality today. It’s been many months of inspired work- more fun than work actually. Years of vintage shopping at flea markets, estate sales, and hole-in-the-wall shops, helped drive the concept and partnering up with [...]
Old Faithful Shop | Vancouver B.C.
I now have one more to add to my list of places to visit on my next trip out West (and a bit North to Vancouver, to be exact). I used to travel a couple times a year to Vancouver for work and really found it to be a great place. A perfect mix of [...]
Dan River Fabrics | Luxury For The Little Lady
During the heyday of the 1950′s and early 1960′s, Dan River was the go-to source for any person’s home sewing project. I say “person’s”, but in those days you would have been hard pressed to find a man who knew his way around a home sewing machine. Women were the center of the home’s universe, [...]
Sol LeWitt @ Mass MoCA
The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass MoCA) never disappoints and is always worth the drive. Yes, New York has it’s share of wonderful museums- many of which I still need to see. Spending a weekend in North Adams, Mass and visiting Mass MoCA is an entirely different experience. The museum occupies what was once [...]
Photoshop Goodness | Textures Along The Way
Its amazing what you find when you’re not looking where you’re going. Looking up, down, around, under, and to the sides makes walking difficult, but there is just a never-ending assortment of “things” worth seeing.
