handmade bags for the modern man

Guys today have a lot of baggage, and I'm not talking about the psychological kind.  I mean the kind of baggage that requires baggage, like cell phones, and computers, and e-readers, and . . .  you fill in the blanks.  And, in our newly connected mobile world, this stuff needs to be close at hand.   So guys today need a way to carry and keep up with their stuff.   This modern day dilemma inspired me to pull together a collection of bags for men in time for Father's Day.  It's a well rounded  collection with a bit of everything, from an iPhone case to full-blown messenger bags that can hold it all.  So, whether you're a guy needing a hand, or a friend looking for a way to help, click on over now and check out my new collection of Handpicked Handmade Bags for Men.

new handpicked handmade coffee mugs

When I told you about my handpicked collection of handmade coffee mugs back in 2010, I had no idea it would become one of my most popular curations.  But that definitely did happen.  It shot up to the top 10 list within a couple of months and has stayed there ever since. I don't know why I was surprised.  Coffee drinking is serious business and deserves a serious mug to drink it. 

Most of the years I worked in offices, the coffee was pretty forgettable.   Maybe that explains why I drank so much of it.  That ever-present cup of watery java on my desk was more the result of habit than a love of the brew.  And it was a pretty bad habit that made me jumpy and a bit spacey too.  But somewhere along the way I discovered good coffees and became what some folks call a coffee snob.  I started grinding the beans myself and got picky about where I bought them.  And when I started drinking the good stuff, I also started drinking way less of it. 

It's now mostly a morning ritual, enjoyed along with the paper (via Kindle) and (way too often) a peanut butter sandwich.

Anyway, I decided  this past weekend that a new edition of the mugs collection was in order.  You can click this link to check it out.
