The best products in any category are classic, quality, and fairly priced. There are a handful of great faucet companies out there, with solid metal parts. It’s easy to love the high end companies like PE Guerin or Rubinetterie Stella, but I also love the utilitarian workhorse brands like T&S Brass and Chicago Faucets, they can be just as beautiful.Â

I recently happened upon this ceramics family when in one of those deep holes, looking for cool dishwear and trinkets for the home. I found myself drawn to the noticably hand painted designs, which are beautiful but simple. I personally love the green and white aptly named “Schizzato” stuff like this pitcher most, but there’s plenty of other standouts as well.

frankly any napkin rings are great, they just really take a table setting up a notch, but these are some of my faves

Car brands forgot how to make a beautiful car. What gives? The new tech is great functionally, but the forms suck, they are all too damn slick or showy or bubbly. I really can't find a modern car or truck that looks good. I don’t understand it. There are endless beautiful old cars. I especially love the boxy old jeep XJs (pre 2001), and old range rover classics (pre 1996). The best new car I’ve seen is the one new model of the Toyota Land Cruiser, you of course can’t get in the US. On a recent trip to Tokyo, I fell in love with the old sedan taxis, mainly the Toyota Century (pre 2017), incredible. I’d love to design a car one day.

Turns out nature is cool. Especially with a big dog who loves to swim and smell dirt. Every summer I find great little hidden swimming holes and hikes and stuff not on google. It’s really well designed too. Go find a hole and take a hike.Â

There’s something mystical about the game. It’s a deep puzzle with ancient roots, and an international language of sorts. It’s simple and complex. I’’ve been destroyed by 7 year olds, people who likely can’t spell the word “February”. In New York we're spoiled with great chess: Chess Forum on Thompson St - a sacred shop to buy boards, great players in Washington Square Park you can play anytime for 5 bucks, (ask for my favorite guy, David). But perhaps my favorite place to play in NYC is the Marshall Chess Club, founded 1915, occupying an entire townhouse on West 10th and 5th Ave, where Duchamp would play. Then there’s the mind boggling Shannon Number, 10^120, the number of unique chess games. This number is so large, it exceeds the number of atoms in the universe, 10^80. There are more possible chess games than atoms in the universe. Unreal.Â
