It’s tax day in the US. There’s a lot of stress around this event. I have to go to the post office and mail everything off. It’s bound to be a shit show. Why did I wait? I was told (and I haven’t verified this in any way) that you are less likely to get […]
Spring is here, it’s getting warmer, and there’s no end to the list of projects. This is 100% a problem of my own making. I’m OK with it, but it does sneak up on me at times. I’ll get a handle on it soon, I swear. For now–let’s tackle an easy one, more fun links […]

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 […]
I can’t believe the month is two-thirds over. The new year just started–where did these weeks go? I’ve been pulling (or reposting) all of my Medium content over to this site.
