#120: Well, hello there
The best from this week | 4.27.18 |
Blame Vacation
Actually, don't. Never do that.
I needed a break and that's why you haven't seen this email in your inbox for a while. Sometimes you need to hit pause even if you don't realize it at the time. I went to Barbados (above) and found myself so supremely relaxed after a week of healthy living, eating and surfing, that I couldn't fuss around with MailChimp's weird picture crop issues and the ever-hungry content maw that is the blog.
So am I back? I'm not sure. I think, like many of you probably do, that a life spent offline is much preferable than one lived online. But, I still thoroughly enjoy creating here!
So anyway, I have a few posts in the works and some projects in the near future that I'm very excited to share as well. So thank you again for hanging in there with this intermittent dispatch. You are the reason I do it, and I really do appreciate it!
Onward!

Fabrice Fouillet's architecture photographs make me think differently about architecture photography. They also make me want to go swimming. @fabricefouillet
LISTEN
A new podcast from KCRW that explores the greatest music stories never told is well-worth your time.
ACQUIRE
Loved seeing this Huckberry collaboration with Geoff Mcfetridge. Two greats in one place.
SHARPEN
What can I say, I seem to have a thing for knives. Here's one of the best videos I've found that explains the various features and characteristics of a chef's knife. Also, a whole bunch of knife-related content.
SWIM
From the archive, but still great. Find a place to swim upstate.
