What I'm Geeking Out About This Week - 02/28/14

February 28, 2014 by Dustin Ramsdell in Weekly Geek Outs

Hello! Here is some neat stuff to check out that I've been geeking out on this week or in general! Enjoy!

  • Warby Parker

I am a big fan of Warby Parker. I got a pair of glasses from them this past fall and have been loving wearing them all day, every day. Recently, I put in an order for some prescription sunglasses with them, which I am eagerly awaiting. Their products are reasonably priced and also help those in need of eye-care get the help they need in a similar model to TOMS; a win-win! They also do in house eye exams in their New York City space, which I also took advantage of when I was there last year. For my fellow eyeglass aficionados out there, I give Warby Parker my official stamp of approval. Buy with a purpose, my friends!

  • The LEGO Movie

I saw this movie this past Saturday in 3D with my partner since we both had a hard week and wanted some lighthearted entertainment. We were not disappointed! Not only was the animation amazing, the voice-acting great, but there was a nice message to the film and it was far more than just a movie with LEGOs. I could see myself proudly showing this movie to my children in the future. Definitely a highlight amongst the dead zone of new movies out right now.

  • Grove Made

I've been a happy customer of this company's products for a while now. They make custom wooden cases & covers for your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook (I currently own a MacBook cover and an iPhone case). They're based out of Portland, Oregon and just recently did a slick new redesign of their site so if you're in the market for a unique, sustainable case for some of your Apple gadgets, I highly recommend them!

I wanted to highlight some more neat social good/sustainable companies after plugging The Home T last week so I hope you enjoy what these groups have to offer and also check out The LEGO Movie soon! Have an awesome weekend!
