Today we have something different. Hope you enjoy it.
If 2020 has given us something good, is great products and new hobbies. I must admit I've made some of my best purchases this year. And some very bad ones too…
Let's talk about that and our new jobs platform.

There is something for everyone on this list.
10- I never realized how easy was to get dirt in your eyes when biking. Which is, as you can imagine, particularly dangerous. Although most sunglasses will do, these Oakley Sutro have been a major blessing for both cycling and running in any condition. They also help keep the sweat away from your eyes, which is a major plus when running.
9- We were all forced to move home and worked from there. A major setup improvement was my Logitech K380 keyboard which I paired with the Logitech Pebble Mouse. All for less than $50.
8- Nothing beats free stuff, right? Strava has been a major upgrade to my workout regimes. It helps plan routes and has great runs, rides, and gear usage tracking. All for $0. I hear premium is great, but free will do. Give it a try.
7- Even though I've been combining online tools like Trello and Notion for productivity, adding pen and paper has been a major plus. I randomly found the Productivity Journal at a Paper Source. The journal has become a key part of my stack.
6- Anyone who enjoys good coffee needs a great grinder. I waited 8 months for this baby which probably makes me a horrible human, but hey it's 2020 so whatever. It's the Fellow Ode Brew Grinder and it is the most beautiful grinder in the market. And if you want a great Coffee, Dur Feres by Methodical was my favorite this year.
5- The Water Softener Showerhead. You actually need this. For $30 get a Spa level showerhead. You're welcome.
4- If there is any brand out there doing it right it’s On. From their partnership with Federer to their new subscription model. The CloudX II is my replacement for my old Cloudflows. This year's Cloud X model fits way better than the original and I can't stop recommending it.
3- I bought a Fig Tree at the Local Farmer's market and named it Juliette, cause why not? Plants are a huge plus for the house. Kudos to my wife who made that one happen.
2- Kona is one of the most recognized entry-level bike makers. I got my Kona Dew at Oak City Cycling Project and could not be happier about this purchase.
1- By far the best product I bought this year was the AeroPress. The perfect cup of coffee, fast. There is also an amazing story behind the invention. Meet the founder here.

We are officially out with the new Clinic jobs platform. It's brought to you by our partnership with Scoutr. The beauty of the product is that students get to share more than just a resume and get paired with the right opportunities, while companies increase their chances to capture the right talent on the first connection.
The 2020 Reading List comes out next week. So stay tuned.
