Wardrobe Hacks

I'm working on a minimalist, utilitarian wardrobe.

I don't want to have to think about dressing and I don't want to help a dry cleaner with his car payments.

I am lucky to be able to dress as I like, within reason. I live in a hot climate (Dallas), where we recently enjoyed some lovely 100 degree April days.

My current thinking is to go to 100% khakis and plain white t-shirts. Short sleeve in summer, long sleeve in winter.

Boring, yes, but totally inoffensive. I can keep the t-shirts nice by simply bleaching them and trying to keep them relatively unwrinkled. The khaki's can similarly be maintained somewhat unwrinkled and be fine.

Are any of you doing wardrobe hacks?

Absolutely not. I couldn't imagine wearing a jacket here in the D/FW area when it's pushing up into the 110 degree range in late June-early August.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
