Ripped From GQ: The Netflix of Glasses (kinda)

Talk about filling a void and making taste extremely accessible. Warby Parker says no more prostration before Oliver Peoples or hours on ebay required to get that perfect style of glasses you saw in that one flick. Since forever frames that didn't cost a bundle were at best always needlessly more than just a little bit off. These look perfect. They ship you five styles free of obligation and all shipping charges, and you pick and pay $95 for each one you want Warby to make prescription. Guess that part should have come first.

If I air my opinions here maybe I'll be more palatable in person.

google in their infinite wisdom has changed blogger so that instead of loading my specified fifty posts per page it only loads as many as it can do quickly, and since I post slow loading items with impunity you'll find yourself debating whether or not to click "older posts" more often. irksome as heck? yes. but I guess that's why there's google reader.
