Copy

I’m a fan of Dropbox, but competing service Copy’s got a couple of nice things going for it: First, 15 gigabytes of storage, free, out of the box. Second, when someone in a group posts a giant file in a shared folder, it’s doesn’t ding your quota. I’m eager to try this out with others–sign up from this link and we’ll both get additional storage space.

Merrell Proterra

I’ve pretty much only bought Merrell shoes for the past six years or so. Bought these last weekend and love them. Lightweight, good traction; great day-to-day shoe. I’m told they’re also excellent trail hikers; I plan to put them up to that in a few weeks.

Pencils

Plain old wood number two pencils, just like you used in grade school. I rediscovered them this week and found I prefer them to pens. In fact, give me a pencil and a Sharpie and I should be set.
