One of my favorite things on our recent trip was watching the Blue Angels from a Target parking lot.

Field Notes Mystery Box. I’m a huge believer in these notebooks.

Every time we visit the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, I’m reminded how incredible it is. Truly a gem.

ICYMI: A new theme for Micro.blog, Mythos Theme. Let me know if you install it!

After years (wow, that happened fast) of crafting themes for Micro.blog, I’m excited to introduce Mythos Theme — my latest project that represents the direction of my theme development work.

The sweet spot for a high-end knife these days is probably in the $300 range. However, most people would be perfectly content with a $30 Victorinox Cadet or something off-the-shelf at a sportman’s store. It really is a whatever-works-for-you thing. But here’s the deal, some people would drop $1,000+ on a grail (to them) folding knife. Does it offer additional utility over the $30 option? No, in fact, you could argue it offers less utility.

The same goes for flashlights. Yes, you can grab a light for $500+. You can also get...
