Samantha and Jake recently gave me a Bheard Sound Pod. It amplifies ... with amazing quality and in a really cool way ... the tiny speakers on your phone. Available in several colors, here is mine in toothbrush green.
The Bheard Sound Pod is but one of many creative products made by b_hold, a company started by one of Samantha's Google buddies, Susan Taing, with a focus on cool ways to hold ordinary things.
I first met Susan in 2006. She is a fellow surviving crew member on rookie Skipper John's hair-raising and multi-hour maiden voyage aboard a sailboat (aptly named Surprise) on the wickedly turbulent waters off the coast of Santa Cruz in the Monterey Bay. Survivor Susan is 3rd from the left.
It was one of the scariest days of my life. I will be eternally grateful to Survivor Vaughn (far right) who actually knew what he was doing ... thanks to his competitive sailing days in college. The only photos that day were "calm water" photos which can be seen here. Taking a turbulent water photo was out of the question.
Without Susan knowing it, I have always felt a special "fellow survivor" bond with her. But for Vaughn, b_hold may have never been born. Come to think of it, neither would George.

very cool!
Hi Mr. Crow! It's Susan Taing. Sam forwarded me your blog post about the Bheard Sound Pod, so glad that you like it, and I definitely didn't realize the survivor part, lol :) Thank goodness Vaughn came to the rescue indeed!
Hope you are all doing well and congrats on little George and littler Aria. Sending warm regards to you and your family!
