— Life is one big idea

Now I am not 100% sure if this is exactly where my first love of design originated. However, I do remember how happy I was whenever I saw them. Trains. I loved to count the engines, feel the rumble, hear the loud noise they made.One thing sticks out more clearly than the rest… The bright color schemes of the cars and the colorful graffiti on them.

I saw the graffiti more as artwork than tags. The flow of lines expressed the artist. Then thinking of how one car with multiple tags will be seen by thousands of people gave me a happy feeling on the inside. I just shared a moment with thousands of people who I never met or will never meet over that single piece of art on that single car.

I recently got together with Shoes for Crews to do a review for them. At work I am on my feet at least 40+ hours a week. The shoes that I had been wearing for the past six months were worn down, falling apart, and never followed through with “slip resistant.” After talking to some people from work they never really had anything to say about Shoes for Crews. So I was kind of going into this blind.

First impressions out of the box would be the style I picked. They looked great for the look we were to maintain at work. Heck, side by side with my old pair you would think they were from the same kind of shoe. Over at the Shoes for Crews website they have plenty more of stylish dress shoes. All of them are slip resistant!

The first day of work in them was a long 11 hour day. I went into it thinking that blisters were going to be a common problem with new shoes. Nope. They fit perfectly. Was really surprised at how well they felt. Even did a little dance in the afternoon downtime as I felt like a new man in them. Cannot express enough of how good these feel.

A big thing with my old pair of shoes was water. No joke. I was afraid of water on the ground. These slip resistant shoes did not help one bit. Back and forth between the back there was a certain path I would take to avoid water. With Shoes for Crews, I actually can feel them gripping on the wet tiled surface! Was completely taken back at how well they held. Safety is a huge factor. One slip and you could be out of work for weeks. Or even lose your balance and drop plates. In the end you are really protecting yourself and your job.

In the end, these shoes left me with a great impression. Will be recommending these affordable, stylish, and comfortable shoes to all my coworkers.

Who remembers this?! This was a staple in my household into the late 90s. I’m thinking of telling people I only drink water, tea, and ecto cooler!

Ever think about how your personal data will be treated once you pass away? How about all those social networking sites? Essentially, our friends and family will have to some how deal with our digital presence. Which is why I want to make it easier for them.

I’ll have a USB drive specifically set off to the side for when I pass away. Only friends and family will know where it can be found. On it would have stuff ranging like:

  • Possible passwords to sites, email, and accounts
  • Instructions to get into my Facebook account to create an event for my Funeral. Have a friend have fun with “posts from beyond the grave.”
  • Funeral playlist. Everyone has songs they would want played at their funeral.
  • Instructions on what to do with data on drives.
  • If you would want your headstone to be something specific you could leave behind a rough draft of it.
  • Could have a video will describing what to do with your remaining possessions.

The subject is rather odd, yes. However, I would want my family and friends to have it easy when I go. They mean everything to me. This Death USB would give me peace of mind knowing I wouldn’t be such a burden.
