- The Tin Shed
As an unapologetic Patagonia fan, I was pleasantly surprised to see their newest web project pop up in my newsreader yesterday. The Tin Shed is a collection of stories, videos, photos, and whatever else they can fit in there from their friends and ambassadors out and about in the wide wild world. As far as armchair mountaineering goes, it’s a perfect fit for a Friday morning websurf session. Make sure to read Kelly Cordes’ treatise on high-altitude spooning, and get a peek into Steve House’s garage and gear stash.
- Patagonia T-Shirt Art Exhibit
Looks like fun. I totally love Geoff McFetridge’s work, and would love to go to this… but it’s a bit far to drive. There’s a handful of these shirts in my closet, and they are very easily the best looking things in there. Doesn’t say a lot for my closet, but hey, there you go.
Some more Geoff McFetridge links worth checking out: Western State 3: Geoff McFetridge video profile, High Snobiety Interview, and Pottok review at Kitsune Noir.
- Friday Acquisitions
After having spent all day in a company meeting I was pretty much forced to stop by the Seattle Patagonia store to get my mind wrapped around something other than web strategy, design, development, UX, analytics, optimization, and social networking. Not that there’s anything wrong with that – but I just needed a bit of a distraction tonight instead of thinking about work all weekend. They usually have a pretty interesting book section at Patagonia, and tonight I found a couple of keepers.
- Northern Oregon Wilderness Areas
– Donna Ikenberry Aitkenhead
- Early Hiking in the Olympics 1922-1942
– Paul Crews
The guide book is a bit old, but just seemed like a book that would be good to have given my current location, and ever since last summer’s Mt. Olympus trip, I’ve become a sucker for anything about the Olympic range. Should be a good read.
