IYKYK Quick Hits

Some thoughts about travel, some not

1. A digital detox is important to recalibrate to a natural level of stimulation. Do that more.

2. Sharing music is love. Do that more.

   
   Here’s a song I have on repeat: Trouble - Lindsey Buckingham
   

3. Bring a real camera with you when you travel. It’ll encourage you to really look around, and you may get lucky and catch some special shots. (Get a Fuji X100 if don’t know what to get - even the original is wonderful).

4. Bring a bluetooth speaker with you when you travel. I use the B&O A1.

   

   B&O A1, B&O Beo Grace, Rolex Explorer, Lamy Pico, Rhodia Unlimited

5. When traveling, log your adventure at the end of each day. Be detailed.

6. Here is a pen I bought this week: Lamy Pico.

7. If you appreciate something someone is wearing, tell them — If it’s unique, there is probably some thought behind it.

8. Having friends you exchange random photos or videos with, without comment, is a very special relationship.
   
   Here are some that were recently sent to me without comment:

10. The NYC subway system is a marvel of engineering. First line opened in 1904.

11. Bring backup snacks on travel days. LGA had a huge delay on my way back home - We were stuck on the tarmac for 4 hours. Total of 7 hours in the plane. Dommy’s blood sugar was negative 1000. Could have been avoided.

12. Having old friends where you pick up exactly where you left off, even after years, is a very special relationship.

Out of nowhere, several month without talking, sometimes years. I love the typo.

13. Fun affordable find from ICFF (The International Contemporary Furniture Fair) this weekend:
    - BOBA Chair by TopJob. Everyone, including myself, geeked out on this. Extremely comfortable and … fun?
    It’s an active stool. It bends and spins and raises while staying very anchored.
    Seat/fabric is swappable in 1 minute.

    

    - Their AnyDesk Fold was really impressive and stable for the price too, if you’re looking for a smaller versatile standing desk. Good for smaller places.

14. Be Ballsy.

Cheers!
