A smattering of useful things I’ve come across lately

Pu’erh Tuocha - a new Pu’erh tea that I’m really into right now. Dark, earthy, smooth, and organic. In very handy single-serving mini tea bricks, suitable for 2-3 infusions.

Origin Reserve Sampler - Pretty expensive treat, but if you really enjoy trying new teas, this is for you. I haven’t tried them all yet, but so far, they’re outstanding.

Luis Mendo Book: Mundo Mendo, Book One. - Luis is an artist based in Japan that I really enjoy. He has a new book out that I received in the mail today. Check out his work, you won’t be disappointed.

Classic Manual Bread Slicer - I suck at slicing bread. I thought I’d get better, but nope. Not getting better. In steps the Zassenhaus manual bread slicer. I highly recommend. Click the link, and you can see it in action. My wife was totally against it, thought it was a ridiculous purchase, then she used it a few times, and she’s a believer now.

Backdrop - The Mac Wallpaper Engine. I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and just love it. A very nice collection of live wallpapers and screen savers.

The New Yorker at 100 - I really enjoyed this film. A sneak peek behind the scenes on how they put together the magazine and its long, rich history. You can watch it on Netflix. Also see the New Yorker at 100 webpage.
