ALL THE THINGS
What is this, why does this exist?
It is an amalgamation of many things as well as a new way of sharing. The idea is that my daily ponderings will live here forever. In the aim of simplification, I want my site to be a one-stop-shop, where you can find anything that I may have mentioned, contemplated, tried, purchased, etc. I would typically share these things in my Insta Stories, but now I’m sharing them here.
Here are all the things from today…
MERCH MUGS
In this time of quarantine and self-isolation I am feeling very nostalgic about the places from my recent past. This nostalgia combined with the aim to stand by local business has led to me purchasing more merch than ever before.
The logic behind it is, If you can’t go to your local cafe, drinking your home brew in one of their mugs makes it kind of ok.
The three mugs above are my top mug merch picks.
ACME X WOR MUG
This one is from Wide Open Road Coffee Roasters and has been on my wish list for quite some time. It’s on sale for $30 and you can buy it from their site here: WOR MUGFRANKIE’S TORTAS and TACOS
Fresh, just launched today, their cool Shop Mug. They actually have a few great offers, one which is $30 for the mug and a 250g bag of coffee beans: Tortas and Tacos Shop MugDUKES COFFEE MUG
I want to say this is my favourite, but I actually want them all equally. Dukes is one of my fave places to get coffee in Melbourne CBD. This mug can be mine or yours for $29. Dukes Mug
250 THINGS AN ARCHITECT SHOULD KNOW
It’s ok if you’re not an architect, I’m not.If you are, you’ve probably already seen this. I discovered this list of ‘250 things an architect should know’ created by Michael Sorkin. Sorkin was a well-known American architect who sadly passed away in March.
These are my top 12 things from his list of 250:
The feel of cool marble under bare feet.
How to live in a small room with five strangers for six months.
Something about feng shui.
The pleasure of a spritz at sunset at a table by the Grand Canal.
The history of Beijing.
The Romantics, throughout the arts and philosophy.
How to listen closely.
Three good lunch spots within walking distance.
The components of a comfortable environment for sleep.
How to play a musical instrument.
Your neighbors.
The Golden and other ratios.

Why not make your own list of 250 things you should know?
INCOMING MAIL
My Struthless Mustard Brunch Beanie arrived in the mail today.
I kind of imagined it being like a normal beanie, but I think it’s one of those hipster guy beanies,. A lot like this one Bill Murray is wearing in Wes Anderson’s film Life Aquatic. I think I need to give this to my brother, it will look cooler on him. What do you think?
Checkout the Struthless Brunch Beanie , they’re on sale from $30 to $20. And yes this was another one of my merch purchases
