1. Diesel OLED watch - OOOOOH me likey. Again with the timepiece fetish. I’m not a fan of metal watchbands, but the leather one is killer. Sleek, stylish, refined yet with a certain edge.
2. The Vogue website - I found a concert that I’d love to attend (Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings), which for me is a rarity. And when I went to check out the venue’s site I was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful, subtle use of Flash, well laid out, informative. A great website is assuredly a rarity in this particular market.
3. Travis Barker’s Soulja Boy drum remix - I’m not a fan of Mr. Barker, and Soulja Boy’s “Superman” gets under my skin. But the rock-remix drumming over top accomplishes a few things here: 1) makes the song infinitely better, 2) distracts me from the inane lyrical content, and 3) gives me a bit more respect for Travis. Artists going into a recording space to do stupid crap like this is awesome.
4. Strobist - I suck as a photographer, but at least I have the desire to learn and get better, right? Strobist has some incredible talent in it’s audience, and more importantly has invaluable lessons on lighting. Half of it is out of my league (money, time), but articles like this one make me realize just how much I have to learn. I’m glued to this site for every update.
5. Early morning work sessions - Even though I’m on vacation and I was up five and a half hours past my normal bedtime last night (danger!), I still got up like clockwork at my normal time and have been able to knock out some work. My view? The sunrise over mountains. Awesome.

Take care of each other this weekend. I’ve been reminded recently just how fallacious the life of loved ones can be.
