Bike Snob NYC predicted back in 2010 that beekeeping would be the new fixed-gear. Don’t know where I found this picture (Facebook?) but it looks like bikes and bees are achieving a kind of synergy.

I got some stamps out of a machine at the post office yesterday and this is what got barfed out.

Either way, you’d think the Postal Service would be embarrassed by this graphic design nightmare. How do we get them to reissue this one? I may not be a big fan of the American Poultry Industry, but that sure is a...

Reader Ben Wison sent sent an email about his EDC (everyday carry), along some photos, Wanted to let you see my EDCs. enjoyed your posts, and figured I would share my improvised Altoids tin. The dividers are made from empty tins cut and riveted in place. My next addition is a iron thin envelope under the mints containing a mini survival kit. Ben promises an update once the mini-survival kit is assembled. Want to see more EDC “pocket dump&...
