CURRENT
PASSION PROJECT
Restoring a massive pair
of Bozak speakers from
B-300-U’s into B-302’s
by adding mid-ranges
and upgrading the cross-
overs using the sworn-by
“Tobin modification.”PRODUCTS I’M USING RIGHT NOWMission Workshop
Rambler Backpack
This bag feels minimal when
packing light, but has an
expandable cargo feature
doubling it from 22L to 44L
for when you have more stuff.Five-Pocket Card Case
20 years ago, a chiropractor
told me to keep my wallet
in my front pocket, so I have
ever since. A slim, soft wallet
is the only way it works, and
to date, this Shinola wallet
has lasted the longest.Blind Barber Tompkins
Scented Candle
This candle smells of leather,
smoke, honey, and lavender, and
is tried and true as I’m on my
fourth. Go for the large to get the
full effect of the Barbicide-styled
container. For extra life, don’t
light it—place it on a warmer.14THE BEST THING POP EVER TAUGHT ME
The best thing I learned from Pop Mech is also one
of the simplest: how to roll up cords and cables
tangle-free using the over-under method.Verified Life
Hack
Save your dryer lint
and roll it into little
balls, mixing it with
petroleum jelly. These
little firestarters will
burn forever—even in
wet conditions.The Best Money
I Ever Spent
A Peter Angelo
Simon photograph
of Muhammad Ali
training for the Rumble
in the Jungle fight. He’s
on an early morning
run on a foggy little
road in Deer Lake,
Pennsylvania, where he
built his camp, Fighter’s
Heaven, to get away
from everything. The
photo reminds me of
being in a magical place.
Favorite App
Discogs. My entire
record collection and
album wishlist are
stored here. When I’m
at a record store I always
remember what I need
to look for, and more
importantly, I don’t buy
albums I already have.
