Night and Day

A friend writes down her deep thoughts about products and services and then sends them to their parents. They write back to her. Incredible. The antidote to the faceless consumer-producer relationship? A real hand shake.

Even though this picture is of a wooden sculpture a friend of mine made in another life, and even though I've repurposed this blog post instead of writing a new one, I am coming to grips with my consumption.

Companies that make stuff that I like that costs money:

• xbox 360 (microsoft) and certain companies that design games
• adidas sambas
• El Abuelito (cheese)
• lorenzo's pizza
• trader joe's
• reddit
• Verso Books
• Capriotti's sandwiches
• Wawa
• thrift stores
• REI for good backpacks
• The Gap
• Urban Outfitters
• 
  
• I'll think of more things
