Here’s the Kaholo Stand-Up Paddleboard that I’d like to buy and build for the lake. Look at that natural wood goodness.

If you need recommendations for the best pickles, might I suggest Milwaukee’s Pickles and Tony Packos (Original) Pickles and Peppers. Those are the only two brands/types I buy.

Needs an orange sail. But I want it. Badly.

Here is my (soon-to-be) new summer shoe: natural canvas chucks with leather laces.

I would like one of these handmade camera cases (same colors, please) made for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1. It’d require some adjustments of where the opening of the case is and how it works, but I think it’s totally doable. In fact, I may try to make my own!

Who can gain access to three of these for me? Notcot points us to the Muji Ice Ball Maker ($~12). MOMA has something as well, but I think the Muji one seems more reliable. Sometimes the cheaper version will do and in this case, unless Macallan gives me one, I’m keeping the extra money in my pocket.

While I spent the month of December in San Francisco, I was able to carve out a bit of time to see Tom Ford’s A Single Man (along with Fantastic Mr. Fox – both just ooze with style). I loved it (both). Not really a whole lot to say (Roger Ebert has a nice review). My main point to the whole post here is to show the poster which I think is brilliant.

A couple other reference(s) on Tom Ford. Charlie Rose has a great interview with him about the movie. And, lastly, the dude is cool. Just check out the soap on a rope by Tom Ford. And, if you’re the type who likes to read the book before you see the movie (trailer), it’s based on the book, A Single Man!
