1 Second Everyday: 2015


I don't think I captured every single day but I know I got most of them and it feels great to keep this going for another year. A lot happened in 2015 but the most obvious (or maybe just to me) is that I switched back from Android to iPhone and the audio/video quality of the videos makes a jump for the better in the second half of 2015.

As I've mentioned before, I highly recommend everyone keep a video journal like this; you'll thank yourself later. Oh and in the beginning, you'll forget days left and right but don't get discouraged. Keep with it.

It seems to be for many that taking notes, sketching ideas, and scribbling doodles on physical paper is a dying idea. Rekindle handwritten everything (even if your handwriting stinks).

“Keep a notebook. Travel with it, eat with it, sleep with it. Slap into it every stray thought that flutters up in your brain. Cheap paper is less perishable than gray matter, and lead pencil markings endure longer than memory.” — Jack London

[Acquired] DoubleShot DubCoin

It's been a few years since I've enjoyed the incredible coffee that comes out of the DoubleShot but this place used to be one of my all-time favorite haunts in Tulsa. I love the idea of this coin. For me, it would be a great keepsake until I get to visit T-Town again, at which point I'll trade it in for a cup of the best coffee I've ever had.

Best Made Co. Gift Certificate

This looks like a cop-out but there's always something on my wish list from Best Made and more importantly, just look at this gift certificate. It's almost too good looking to turn in. I wonder if they can just void it and let you keep it...

Gold Leader Patch

When it comes to Star Wars vehicles (or flying science fiction stuff in general), the Y-Wing has always been a personal favorite. It's not necessarily agile but it's a workhorse and will consistently get the job done, even while taking a beating. It's the clydesdale of the Rebel fleet and it's gorgeous.

Hasami Porcelain Mug Cup

I have a thing for coffee mugs and this one has certainly caught my attention. The simple look and dark color tones (of this particular model) checks all the boxes in my book and would easily be a daily driver in my cupboard.
