So, I quit my job as a programmer on Friday in anticipation of becoming a retailer. As I was cleaning out my desk I came across a post-it with two adages that I had written down for some reason, which I will share.
One is Muphry's law, that says "if you write anything criticizing editing or proofreading there will be a fault of some kind in what you have written". This is a play on Murphy's law, of course.
The other one was Sturgeon's law, that reads "ninety percent of everything is crap".
So, I was thinking about this ninety percent rule, and I'm not sure about the exact ratio, but there certainly is a lot of crap out there, something I am really going to try to avoid having in our store. We'll see how that works out, but that's the plan.
In that light, I want to sing the praises of these bags we are going to carry. Each is hand made, has incredible detail, and is definitely the opposite of crap. I love just looking at the amazing work by this woman who makes them. They come from company called Totem, and it's basically this one woman making these bags. I keep trying to buy more from her, but you can only get a couple at a time.
Here they are against the cinderblock wall in the store, which has since been sandblasted.
