I always love seeing the story of how other people start, and the progress along the way. It's a pretty great and honest look at a company I learned about straight from this video.

How He Wore It: Gen of Bucketfeet

I met Gen at Daley Plaza this summer when we were both sweating out the hottest days of the summer outside in the name of indie label brands. It turns out, we had a lot to talk about.

The Gap: A truth

As it turns out, this is supremely true.  And probably applies to most things in life. Even to you, my dear friends and readers.

Live Work Space: A tale of love and hate

I've been thinking about apartments, space, and the lifestyle of the entrepreneur a lot lately. My last space was an outrageously huge live work loft that I shared with a collection of folks that had nothing to do with the work I do. Twas awesome.

Then the day came when I had to find a new place to live, and possibly a separate place to work. Being a designer with a lot of materials and equipment to accommodate in a space, and being on a lean budget at all times to fund my crazy ideas, I found myself having to prioritize what I want in a space. Things like space, would be traded for flashy appliances; smaller work space traded for a separate work space complete with a door to close it all off at the end of the day.

I share this video with you because when I watched it, no matter how cool or ridiculous the spaces I've been considering are, I realize that the compromise could be like the above video. And even then, there's a way to be happy with what you've got.

And being happy satisfied with the space we're in for us work-from-homers is a very important thing. < -- More on this in another post.
