American Boots

As somewhat of an avid boot wearer, I appreciate this site. Although these are pinned as "work boots," many of the styles would look good worn casually as well.

Not to mention...
Snow boots, anyone?

Made In U.S.A.

A cool website that provides links to companies and retailers that sell American-made products.


Good place to start if you wish to buy American!

I'm a little worried about getting all of this done... Looks like it will be another late night for me.

Recast

Just finished. For my recast, I decided to make a poster reminiscent of American pro-production posters from the 1940s. I'm pretty happy with the result.

Reflection on the Death of Osama Bin Laden

I used to think that the death of Osama Bin Laden would inherently lead to the end of Al Qaida. Now that Bin Laden is dead, I am unsure of what will come of the event. His death does not feel as monumental as I thought it might feel. If any organization loses its leader, it does not signal the demise of that organization. New management moves in, and the organization carries on. It may not carry on with the exact same mentality or methods, but its demise is not immediate.

I feel that Bin Laden’s death is more of a positive symbol for our country’s war on terror rather than a milestone. His death may not have much of an effect on the strength of Al Qaida, but it has certainly instilled a renewed sense of patriotism and pride in Americans.
