10 Thoughts
Canvas Sneakers, MacBook Neo, A Good Substack, Ghiaia in Wm Brown and a the Essential Frying Pan.
Seevees Founders Edition Yacht Shoe. Over the years, I have gone through a variety of canvas sneaker phases. I have worn Vans (still do sometimes), Tretorns, Jack Purcells, PF Flyers, Muji basic canvas sneakers, and a few more. Almost every country on earth has a popular variant and I have tried them all. The SeeVees Legend sneaker has been a modern favorite, known for its good quality and timeless look. This season, the Santa Barbara-based brand, along with its original owner, B.F. Goodrich released a reproduction of the brand’s original canvas sneakers from the 1960s.
MacBook Neo. I bought the new budget Apple MacBook Neo and I’m here to tell you that I don’t hate it. After two weeks, I do have some thoughts. I have traveled with an iPad and a Macbook Pro for so long, and every time I leave, I hate having to bring two devices. I was looking at new iPads (which can be as expensive as an Apple laptop) and then this thing came out. I decided the Neo could be the perfect travel computer. It can pretty much handle everything I have thrown at it so far and it’s a shockingly capable machine for $600. So now, when I travel, I am just going to bring the Neo. I won’t have to worry about my super expensive laptop getting stolen, and I don’t need to bring two devices. One last thing. Apple Care for the Neo is cheap at $139 and you can replace the screen for just $49 with the plan in place. That’s crazy cheap and really makes this thing a care free solution.
The Print Edition. All issues have shipped (unless you ordered within the past 24 hours). Thanks to everyone for their patience. We are a homespun operation and while we might be projecting Jeff Bezos levels of e-commerce capabilities, we’re actually just a couple of guys with a laser printer and a local post office. The newspaper has been so enjoyable to produce, and we love the feedback we have been receiving. It is also just so nice to hold physical media and read it without distractions. We are so proud to be able to bring this to life and appreciate everyone’s support, subscriptions and contributions. Thanks for reading.
Made In Carbon Steel Pans. This came up on a recent Central Division podcast, and actually, a few friends were talking about the search for good pans in real life. We don’t use any non-stick fans at our house. 95% of what I cook is on these pans. Once they are seasoned, they are fairly stick-resistant and easy to clean. They can go into the oven, and the rectangular handle makes them easy to pull out with an oven mitt. I’m a real believer in Made In and really like every single thing I have bought from the brand.
