Shaolin shoes made in Argentina sold in America

TOMS Shoes are gorgeous.

Simple, light, elegant.

Best part is you buy a pair, they will donate a pair to a needy child on your behalf. It’s a fantastic way to contribute to society and I wish more businesses take up this model. If Starbucks donate some food for every cup of coffee I buy, I think I will end up drinking more coffee and feeling great about myself.

(Of course, I will get even more obese and this will have a negative impact on the local economy since the government has to pay part of my medical fees and I have to stop work, etc. But these are complex thoughts I rather not think about now.)

Just get those shoes.

I feel good and poor

I bought a MacBook Pro today.

This is my 4th major Mac purchase:

1) G3 Powerbook (1999?)

2) G4 Desktop (2000?)

3) G3 iBook (2002?)

4) MacBook Pro (2006)

That’s about 16 – 17K worth of merchandise.

That’s a lot of LV bags

1K

My new Tag Heur glasses with beta titanium costs my company 1K.

It's atrocious, I know.

I will be remorseful for exactly a week until they are ready.

I am cool

cool

4 T-shirts arrived from Threadless.com yesterday.

Cool.

Love the concept of threadless. You design a T-shirt. People vote for your design. It gets printed. You get paid.

It's cool because:

- T-shirts are reasonably priced.

- You are not making fat cats fatter.

- It's a community.

- Not many people in Singapore will have these T-shirts.

Ok so I am cool today. Tomorrow, I'll try to be cooler which means not spending money.

Yes, that's way cooler.
