I’ve been learning some programming for a few years. Python and C# are a couple I’ve focused on lately.  And I’ve written a program to extract ISBNs from files or URLs in each. Mainly because it helped me learn the language by analyzing what it would take to get data, manipulate it, and return it in a usable format.

I work for a book distributer, so It only seemed fit, that I write something to make it easier on others I work with to get some of the data they need.

Also, I’ve launched my ZenialStore.com.  I’m still working on some of the details, but if you are a manufacturer and would like to drop ship products for me. Drop me a line.

I’m big into cars, I like driving and racing(autocross).  5 year warranty wiper blades? Sign me up.

I especially love driving in questionable weather, it’s challenging and much more interesting.  However, my wiper blades never seem to last but a season.  Currently I have some el cheapo blades on my car, they are OK for now, but when I go to replace them this spring (before autocrossing season starts), Silblade will for sure be going on there. Silblades seem to be a great solution.

Buy Silblade from Amazon or buy Direct from Silblade

Update:  Not made in the USA any more… Purchased one recently and it was made in Taiwan. Sad, but I still have the Original blade on my car… 2 years later

I usually carry an Atwood tool, But the Pico pry bars would come in handy in the toolbox.

Reader suggested (I have also been looking around at this stuff  for a while), Thanks John Schwartzlose:

By far, the most impressive underclothing store I’ve seen has to be Wickers. They have an amazing selection of underclothing. Mostly designed for sport and the outdoors/work-men/-women use.  I’m for sure picking up some of their biking shorts for the coming year (sorry to give you that visual).

Campbellsville Apparel Company, I’m told they do sell White underclothes at some points throughout the year.  The Moisture wicking Polyester comes in handy here in the mid-west during the summer. (Suggested by John. Thanks again.)

City Boxers, They have a very impressive line up of… you guessed it, boxers. Made in Maine.

Union label seems to have a good selection of Undergarments.

American Apparel does also Cary Mens and Womens “Intimates”, oh and don’t forget the kids briefs.

Womens Organics at BlueCanoe.

Skiviez has some mens briefs.

Please mention USA Made to your friends and family. As always, if you have any thing to say, Please do put your thoughts in the comments.
