footwear

In my quest for well designed Non-Nike footwear I came across these. I am not sure that the range of colors will work in person but it looks like an interesting attempt and I like the retro texture. They are kind of hard to find though.

magpie BBQ tools

These come in mirror or satin finish for a price of $236.00. The knife and tongs look like the most interesting elements other than the stand. They are available on unicahime.com

QWERTY

This looks like it would be awkward to hold but it is a cool variation. I'd like to see how easy it is to operate.

painting

Edison, Ian and I are working on our paintings in the woods behind our house in Thomaston. Edison is painting a tree with a hole in it and a creature in the hole, Ian is looking on and giving constructive criticism having finished his painting of the sky. I am trying to find a new style for a show at the end of the year.

Kowloon

This is the view from the office I am in here on Canton road. Other than some great new styles from Vivienne Tam I did not see much of interest.

Housewares Show

Tom is at the housewares show today and came across the comany that manufacturs these grilling tools. He said that they had impressive products and a standout presentation. The website is www.outsetinc.com

Mikes Bar

If you have the opportunity to go to dinner with Mike Mennone and his girlfriend make sure that they take you to Bar. Not only will you have great drinks and fun conversation but they could give dancing lessons. Just don't plan on being able to drive home at the end of the night.
