#linklog: "Your Backpack Got Worse On Purpose"
From the piece: "YKK makes the best zippers on earth. They're Japanese, they cost more per unit, and brands that care about longevity use them because a zipper failure kills a bag faster than fabric wear. On VF Corp's lower-tier models, YKK hardware got swapped for generic alternatives. A few cents saved per unit across millions of bags." I knew it! #

Been implementing Openclaw on a Pi the past few weeks and I'm fairly convinced that that's the future.

Some notes are shorter, some longer, but in the spirit of a digital garden, all are open to being converted into proper posts.

I wasn't aware that Tom Ford the director is the same person as Tom Ford the designer and saviour of Gucci. Now that I am, I'm wondering: how much can you achieve in just one lifetime?
