Words & Letters
This post is several weeks behind schedule. In the words of Kurt Vonnegut, “So it goes.” I try to get stuff done on a schedule, but I don’t get crazy about it. Most of these deadlines are self-imposed. It’s important for me to balance my desire to get shit done (dreams) and what I actually […]
Where to begin this week? March is one-third over. I still haven’t written that 2024 books post that I’ve been meaning to get done. I’m going to stop right now and get back to work. Enjoy the links. Typography The hardest working font in ManhattanIt’s hard to believe today that there was a time before […]
We survived 2024, and then 2025 happened. It’s been a royal shit show since that digit flipped from four to five. Still, we soldier on. I’ve got my usual slew of projects in motion (links below), and work keeps me busy. I can’t complain, but I do complain. Books that I’m currently reading…It takes me […]
The Los Angeles fires are affecting so many people in our creative community in devastating ways. It’s horrible to watch and with each new post, gofundme campaign, and news story it’s a reminder of how fragile our lives are. If you are in a position to help, I’m including links to do just that. Give […]
We’re at the tail end of 2024, and we’re supposed to reflect on the past 365 days. We’re supposed to learn shit and evolve as humans, right? I’ve learned things, sure. Have I applied those learnings to my actual life? That’s debatable. I’ve come to an understanding that I delay things–a lot. I’ve been playing […]
Three is the magic number, yes it is. I’m still finding my way with this little project. It’s hard to come up with something monthly to put in here–something that’s coherent. I can’t promise this edition is. That’s OK. Not everything has to make sense. The world doesn’t, why should we hold our efforts to […]
We’ve come so far. The end of the year is just over there, out of reach, but you can smell it coming. There’s still work to do, books to read, and goals to knock out. Did you ever have senioritis? If you are a high achiever, probably not. If you are easily distracted, like me, […]
Trying to explain something new is never easy. It’s even harder when you don’t know where it’s headed. When I was young, I discovered zines. It changed my life. It connected me with people, places, ideas, music, art, and culture that I would have never discovered in my small-town world. I have friends of 30 […]
I used to start each of these posts with a quote. Or did I end with a quote? I can’t recall. It really doesn’t matter in the slightest. Instead, I’ll leave you with this lovely Kurt Vonnegut story from an interview, or maybe from Timequake. “I work at home, and if I wanted to, I […]
It’s been a busy month. I can’t keep track of everything. In fact, I’m not even trying to. I focus on the task in front of me. Everything else is unimportant. This is not exactly a zen approach. It’s a method of survival. The link show must go on, that’s the task right now. Data […]
