something impractical but cool?
this bag (click more for an image)! it started as a linoleum print block i made, which i turned into a bag design. this is an extra fun version where i sewed on mini blobs. i carry it around whenever i'm feeling extravagant
physical books or ereaders?
i don’t know. i love the sensory feel of physical books, but i use my ereader much more. as a trade for the mediocre answer, i’ll offer a few of my recent favourite reads:
the unpublished david oglivy - david ogilvy
let my people go surfing - yvon chouinard
the fish that ate the whale - rich cohen
stranger in a strange land (grokking!) - robert a heinlein
masters of doom - david kushner
a man for all markets - ed thorpe
foundation series (all 7 books are delightful) - isaac asimov
poor charlie's almanack - charlie munger
Faraday, Maxwell, and the Electromagnetic Field - nancy forbes + basil mahon

i can rap the first verse of drake's only you freestyle. word for word. bar for bar.
