We were quoted in today’s Express newspaper’s Blog Log (page 36). For non-locals, Express is the very popular DC commuter newspaper published by the Washington Post. So in my own little world, I like to think that, really, OTC was picked up by the Post.

Post staffers apparently appreciated my ingenuity when dealing with those too-short pants, outlined in the recent “repurposing” article. Thanks for the shout out, guys! The link above is for the interactive PDF issue, you can find the web site here.

And by the way, I read Express every day…not that other one.

Christian Chensvold leads a great discussion with Johnson, who filmed one of my favorite makes-you-squirm-in-your-seat documentaries, “Born Rich.”

Jamie’s position as heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune and an interest in history and psychology give weight to his honest observations of those born to wealth. If you haven’t seen it, “Born Rich” is an unflinching and mostly unflattering first-person examination of the wasted opportunities provided to many of society’s wealthiest children.

Jamie Johnson is a rare kind of man; raised in the lap of luxury and opportunity but driven to understand what that means how those like him fit into the world.

Sure, it’s easy to spend your time on such seemingly esoteric endeavors when money is literally no object. But wait until you see what many of his peers do to occupy their free time – you’ll probably want to hand out torches and pitchforks.

It’s new enough to have only a few posts, but I like the the author’s goal of highlighting great products and ideas. He has already tackled spirits, boots and bags. I’m looking forward to seeing what he has in the pipeline.
