So, I digress for a moment into the land of the product pitch. Want the proper tool for the job? Then ditch all those fancy-ass dish towels in favor of these thirsty little monsters. I take pleasure in pairing the ideal tool with whatever task is at hand (makes life that much simpler), and I am driven to proselytize when I do.

I love this. I know it’s hard to live by this credo exclusively, but it’s certainly worth tacking to the fridge. From the now (sadly) defunct blog at Platform21.nl
