“I had the realization its not the money its about what does it take to engineer a machine that becomes invisible to the to the experience and that kinda blew my mind. So when you are designing anything its like you’re designing an experience. The engineering should get the fuck out of the way.” – Reggie Watts

I have been a WeatherTech customer for a number of years and really like their laser measured all weather car mats. Each mat is made specifically to fit perfectly each car. This product must have put a hurt on car dealers selling all weather mats for crazy markups. Most importantly they are Made in the U.S.A., it doesn’t get better than that. Also check out the other WeatherTech products also Made in the USA!
I had been following Tony Hsieh since he was CEO at Zappos. Sadly he passed away unexpedly at the age of 46. So I thought I would pull together some of his interviews.
Tony Hsieh became a strong advocate for self organizing and self managed organizations. The Fast Company article Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh: Adopt Holacracy Or Leave features the email he sent to all Zappos team members. It is an interesting read.
I love high quality backpacks and bags made in the USA. The Duluth pack standard laptop pack is on that list. If this version doesn’t fit your needs, check out their other packs. Let’s keep our fellow American sewing and making great products.
I am feeding my bag obsession, the reality is if you buy a bag from Frost River you may not need to buy another. I love the way they describe their company and their principles. Sometimes a simple brief case is all you need to going to and from the office and Frost River has a perfect bag for your commute, it’s called the Simple Brief. The best part is all their bags are Made in the USA.

Having been in quaratine for almost 3 months I was in need of a haircut. My cut is simple 2 guard on the sides with a high fade to an 8 on top. The problem I ran into was I didn’t own clippers. So I searched and searched and finally found Andis Envy clippers, and the best part is they are made in the USA. They worked great.
This is not an exact quote but it still hits the mark.
We are all beautiful or none of us are.
We are all children of God, beautiful. This is the place from which we must start. Deny one of us, deny us all.
