    I think the technical term for the beagle/pug mix is called a “puggle”.

    That’s very similar to my reaction when I first saw it. But the wheels are really cool.

    I agree. Are they Roller Blade wheels?

    They kinda look like roller blade wheels, but I don’t think my husband would appreciate it if I took the chair out for a spin, so I guess I won’t find out.

    The guy in the cube next to me has one of these for work, if I get laid off soon(likely) it’s going to find itself in a new non-corporate home!

    I run in knee-high socks when orienteering, so they have a short life cycle. I also prefer them to be acrylic athletic socks (as opposed to “soccer” socks which are different). Also, I need the socks to go along with my orienteering club’s colors.

    I’ve been to several sporting goods stores before, and bought a few pairs here and there, but are usually limited to just soccer socks, and sometimes not in my size, with few color options.

    I found a good sale on exactly the socks I needed (type, size, and colors), so I got a bunch. What’s wrong with that?

    Although I’ve never tried their shoes, I’ve had a north face fleece and backpack since 10th grade, and both have held up extremely well.

    Yeah I’ve always been pretty impressed with how well designed/put together TNF stuff is and I own quite a lot of stuff by them now (tent, ski jacket & pants, shoes, fleece, trousers).
