12 Years of Descriptions Shows

It's the most important time of the year when we re-visit each department's concept.  Although it is an everyday process to find out what's next and how we are doing, we have to lay down some concrete actions to make things happen in this fiscal year.  For those buyers who are prepared, pulling out key observations and solidifying them into concrete plans is easy, the others just pulled out rubbish, no offense.

This is one of the side projects I've been working on, to have some kind of objective meta data composed to give me angles and insights.  The oldest data I could pull out was 12 years old, I was interested to find out the most frequent words appearing on our product descriptions, the more frequent they appeared, the larger these words appears on this word cloud.  Interesting isn't it?

Correlating frequency of appearance vs. sold quantity (not shown here for business reasons) was such a fun project to me, had a great time.

This explains the lack of post on my blog, please follow me on instagram @patrickng, twitter @scription, flickr @moleskineart, if you want to catch up with tiny feeds instead of waiting for blog post to come up :)

Will be travelling to Shanghai next Monday to Friday, hopefully I can get some free time to update the next Chronodex download for July - December 2012.

Leather Holster/Jacket for Turtlejacket

Yes the Turtlejacket Tri-Eye is heavy, but it is super cool and useful I have no reason not to carry it everyday, so instead of just customizing it with masking tapes and eraser, I made a holster for it in the name of manliness.  Yup, the jean looks cool too, tell me what you think.  I wish I had a Bond girl model to take this photo to get that extra sexy thigh holster look.

I planned the holster on my Traveler's Notebook for a week, it went from minimalist design to complicated snaps and buckles, but eventually I decided to make it as simple as possible coz Tri-Eye is cool by itself already.

The result is a simple holster made from one piece of leather, featuring a metal hook and a belt loop.  Took me just an hour to make, but the planning was 10 times longer.

So other than my Olympus EP-3, this is my other perfect gear set for light travel: iPhone 4s, Turtlejacket Tri-Eye, Manfrotto monopod, Snapseed+Pixlromatic+645Pro apps.
