I get the craziest catalogs in the mail and the wife who hates sports got a football betting one today, luckily my friend Scott gave me a tip. Go to Catalog Choice , the mission of Catalog Choice is to reduce the number of repeat and unsolicited catalog mailings, and to promote the adoption of sustainable industry best practices. We aim to accomplish this by freely providing the Catalog Choice services to both consumers and businesses. Consumers can indicate which catalogs they no longer wish to receive, and businesses can receive a list of consumers no longer wanting to receive their catalogs.

In September I was invited to be on the guest list of a very cool event called Thread . I went to the website and saw all these 20 something girls shopping off racks in the photos, I then thought to myself that this was gonna be as cool as going to forever 21 and watching girls shop. But I was forced to go and i'm really glad I did cause those photos did not do this event justice. There were lots of bad ass independent designers from all over the place. I ended up buying an organic cotton hat from The Organik a couple of super enthusiastic dudes were working the booth. The Organik is from Hawaii and they are very passionate about the eco, green, sustainable lifestyle. Next up on my highlight list were the san francisco brothers of Artefacture, they were very design heavy, seemed like the type of guys who really really get into font type faces. The star of the show had to be the crew from Sole Junkie they custom paint sneakers or rather the very talented bronx boy Steven Cedre Jr...

Went to the dwell conference this past weekend, it was pretty inspirational. Maybe by some miracle I'll be able to find some land in San Francisco where I can drop a weeHouse on. The theme of the whole conference was still all things green, especially when it comes to building. I'll have more on this conference soon.

I needed a durable but compact lightweight stroller, something with the style and comfort of a Bugaboo but light and compact like a Maclaren. I basically needed an all in one solution and despite tons of research and visits to baby stores had no luck. Then I went to http://www.kiwi-kid.com/ and found the Mutsy Spider, it was the perfect solution for our needs. Mutsy has been around since the 30's thus has tons of experience with strollers and the products are beautiful. Most importantly my baby loves it.

The new Bugaboo Bee looks dope if you can get past the creepy cirque influenced video and a $530 price.
