Open Thread: What's your favorite minimalist wallet?

Like most 43F articles on economical carriage and stowage, the Jimi post attracted a lot of interest. Makes me think it's time for an open thread: What's your favorite minimalist wallet? Jimi? Slimmy? Moneyclip? Coin purse? Goin' commando? Spill in comments (and feel free to link to canonical product pages or price compar-i-nators like Froogle).

My own winner for minimalism? Starting before a trip to New York in the late 80s, I started wrapping my driver's license, ATM card, and a bill or two in a couple of my Goody pony tail holders (shut up). I think that was my wallet for at least the next two years -- until I got my first real job and decided to go cowhide again. Still, it remains one of my favorites.

I ordered a Jimi late...

I ordered a Jimi late last week and received it today. First impressions are that it's pretty cool, although I'm kind of wondering if I should have went with a Slimmy instead.

All things considered, I'm going to give it an honest week's use to see how it holds up. I figure if nothing else, I have 30 days to return it, as long as it's still in the shape it was sent to me in. A week or two should be a good "testing ground" to see if this one will do the trick or if I need to spend a little extra and get the Slimmy or Slim Slimmy.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
