It’s been super busy on the online shop so I haven’t been able to write on the site as much. Today’s I.T. gives me a chance to link to all of the stories I wanted to write about, but I didn’t. I start with a thank you to Professor Stewart Stevens’ Textile class TXA365 at the University of Texas at Austin who sent me some really cool thank you cards from a Google Hangout Q&A we did recently.

Reebok wrote this amazing post on Tunde Oyeneyin, but the way they posted it is terrible: https://www.reebok.com/us/blog/334154…
