brands.


Brands. There are few brands that add value to a product, that is to say most brands are just a design team. I can think of two companies that stand behind their products they design and even make things, try Dell Computer and Trek Bikes. The cool factor here is, namely, making of something here in the U.S. with passion. When I think Dell, I envision a whole team from design, to fabrication, to sales much of which is located in Texas, of course it has foreign and domestic components. Go there and see them putting together the computers if you wish. Same goes for Trek bikes. Maybe there is some correlation there. The more vested a company is here at home, typically the better products (and services) they make. Just call American Express, they give you a 'happy ending' at end of every call. This is my belief. I am Dan k.

the. little. things.

Todays ride. Augi says to me, "dude do you have your camera?" It was the same as it ever was. Reminiscing back to some 15 years ago standing on a frozen spring fed pond in the middle of winter, here we go today. The sun. The sky. A group of 'canoers' all women. "Stop. Dan. Those women are so cool. We think we're cool But it is them who are really cool. Look at them sitting therearound in some crazy canoe trip all of 60 + having the time of their life." And he was right. So we stopped, introduced ourselves, and took a picture with some really cool ladies in the middle of the afternoon on a bike ride.

it does matter.

This man came up to me at the last bike race and said, "I know you...I read you blog." Great cause here it is...the web of connection and just minutes after upload look what happens. We carry humanity with us wherever you may roam.
