It doesn’t matter if it’s paddling, cars or technology. Lendal or Werner? Valley or Current Designs? Chevy or Ford? Whatever. The important question for any sane person is what is the best tool for the job. When that doesn’t narrow the field, it’s all just a matter of personal taste. Of course there’s no accounting for taste! That’s probably why we now own our first Mac. ]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/11/23/im-a-pc-sometimes/feed/ 3 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/08/06/kayaking-whatever/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/08/06/kayaking-whatever/#comments Sat, 06 Aug 2011 15:28:42 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=8655 OK, Kayaking.. Yeah, Whatever, Whatever… Time for Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows… I’m really liking the strange and interesting work from Andrew over at  ”Songs To Wear Pants To” who will write a quick tune based on anything you can come up with. Pretty impressive, and often pretty funny as well!

Kokatat has just gone live with their fancy new website! And it is pretty nice. (That coming from someone who does this stuff for a living.) The new site is clean and easy to navigate and maybe most importantly, full of big beautiful pictures! I like how the feature carousel invites users to simply click on the sport they're into, to be presented with the right gear for them. It's sort of a suggestion box, navigation and sales tool all in one. Once in your chosen category, there are all sorts of ways to easily sift through the content to find something specific.]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/04/30/new-website-for-kokatat/feed/ 1 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/03/27/mobile-tendencies/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/03/27/mobile-tendencies/#comments Sun, 27 Mar 2011 14:32:25 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=7338 KayakQuixotica.com has become a bit more mobile friendly over the weekend. I won’t bother going into the technical end of it. Simply put, if you come to KayakQuixotica.com via a mobile device, the site will see you coming and dress for the occasion.  That means running fast and clean. The trick was deciding priorities.

The reason? Barry has been suffering some painful tendinitis due to overly tight drysuit seals around his wrists. Now what I was wondering was, that with all the emphasis on social media these days, wouldn't you think various reps or manufacturers would have jumped in and offered some thoughts and ideas on their blog or Facebook as well?]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/01/25/therein-lies-the-rub/feed/ 8
