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.

It’s been a busy month but somehow, someway I’ve managed to do some of what I planned to do. I’ve still got another phase post to create. I need to write my 2024 book reading recap. The February issue of the Skate Book Club newsletter needs to happen. And, last and most important, Tails Of… […]
Theres a lot of bad things happening in the world, in the US, and in cities nearby. I try to celebrate the good things: beauty, innovation, and joy of craft in these weekly link collections. It’s hard to ignore the chaos outside. We all compartmentalize things to survive–it’s a survival tactic, however flawed. The link […]
Another day, another batch of links, and I’ve still got more stuff I want to do before I rest. I’ll get there–it just feels like there are not enough hours in the day. I just posted my fifth Phase post (article or whatever). I never thought these would be easy to do. It’s harder than […]

One last batch before the year ends. Since I took last week off, this one is chock full. Hopefully, you are doing something fun on New Year’s Eve, and you find these links later in the week. If you are looking for even more, I quietly dropped another Phase post last week. See you all […]

I didn’t think I’d have time today to get this done. Work, side projects, and life in general have been draining my energy from the link show. Whether it’s pure habit or the combination of habit and systems I’ve put in place—somehow, it got done. Enjoy the links. Here’s hoping next week is calmer. Architecture […]
