↩ Jacob's Ephemerata

A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm Jacob, a peripatetic interdisciplinary designer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently working on online e-Commerce and identity. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.

The Accidental Hermit: A short history of the kick sled 

«Kick sleds look like Zimmer frames on runners […] can be quite fast in flat areas, and ridiculously fast downhill.

If it weren’t for the fact my feet look like they’ve already got frostbite, this post would make me want to move to somewhere icy all year round.
