I’ve been wearing Birkenstocks to work everyday since March 1999. I have two pairs, a black pair and a brown pair and I’ve resoled them both numerous times.
I thought it was time for a change and couple weeks ago, I started wearing Keen sandals. They’re very comfortable and seem to be well designed. I do hope they last a long time or I’ll just have to pull out my Birkenstocks again.

I finally got a new laptop bag, err, cafe bag, make that man purse. It cost a bunch, took a while to get here, but it’s nice.
Thanks to Scott Collins on the tip.
I’ve been on a little shopping tear lately. Here’s what I(we) have bought:
- ordered (not yet bought) a new car
- cast iron dutch oven for camping (on sale! @Amazon)
- GoldTouch keyboard (ergonimically sound)
- Humanscale keyboard tray
- Tom Bihn cafe bag (it’s NOT a purse!)
- iCurve laptop stand
Our home office is coming together and becoming ergonomically correct. Already have Steelcase Leap chair that’s pretty awesome and our furniture is nice too. I have some more kitchen stuff to buy and then get some more shirts to wear to work. It’s getting to be pretty bad when I have Firefox and Mozilla polo shirts as shirts I wear on the weekend (not that I mind, but just shows I need more clothes).
