Big Shower didn't want you to remember.

Starting Over 27.10.2025 4:12 ↓

The humble pie of starting again.

Desire 19.05.2025 5:35 ↓

The tools will take us where we want to go, so we had better want the right stuff.

Spring 21.03.2025 4:24 ↓

Spring is here. With a quote from Karl Ove Knausgaard.

March Madness and Amazon 20.03.2025 2:57 ↓

Things I like about March Madness. And imagining the sprawling ecosystem of Amazon sellers.

Feedback Loop 15.03.2025 3:24 ↓

Art and creation usually have a feedback loop. Knowing yours makes a difference.

Canonical Food 14.03.2025 4:06 ↓

What makes mom’s spaghetti so important? What are your canonical foods?

Missing Things is Pleasurable Sometimes 13.03.2025 6:05 ↓

A meme by now but it can be nice not to have to do something, to take a day off.

Work Conferences 12.03.2025 5:27 ↓

They’re great and also they are not sustainable, maybe. The economics are tenuous! What if we just agreed to get together in the same place, but not worry about booths? Probably wouldn’t work.

Vegas 11.03.2025 5:23 ↓

Vegas is a (small-d) democratic place. I can’t speak for the broader city but the Strip is a classic American melting pot.

Walgreens and CVS 11.03.2025 3:36 ↓

I just think they are ideal for trips.

Fact-Checking Is Busted 09.03.2025 5:00 ↓

The fact-checking industry failed. It seemed like it would work! But it didn’t. So now what? Featuring the distant sound of one of my dear children!

Internet Home 08.03.2025 4:52 ↓

Everybody has one, I think. Mine is undoubtedly Twitter/X. It wasn’t always though. What’s your internet home?

Google Reader 07.03.2025 4:35 ↓

An ode to my special internet place, circa the late 2000s. May it rest in peace.

Audiobooks - Reading? 06.03.2025 5:48 ↓

The debate is settled, for me at least. I love audiobooks, whether it’s reading or not. Honestly call it whatever.

Short and Long 06.03.2025 5:35 ↓

Media is moving to very short or VERY long. Why? I don’t know. But the loser in this equation is the medium stuff. Half hour podcast? Ew.

The Tribal Trap 04.03.2025 7:24 ↓

It’s healthy, even vital, to be a part of groups. But how do we avoid the trap of being pulled away from our own principles by the tribes we are part of?

Optimism 03.03.2025 3:54 ↓

I’m an optimist. Hopefully not an unrealistic one, but an optimist nonetheless. With a quote from Ben Franklin added to the mix.

Expertise 02.03.2025 6:27 ↓

What is your expertise? I should’ve said I was getting somewhat expert at Steely Dan. But I didn’t think about that.

The News Cycle 01.03.2025 6:41 ↓

Thinking about the always-on nature of today’s news consumption. Do we have to be in the thick of it all the time?

End of February and Work Candy 01.03.2025 4:28 ↓

It’s the end of the worst month. Also, how to think about the ideal work candy.

Food Trends 27.02.2025 5:35 ↓

Foods are new and cool, then they are mundane.

Road Trips 26.02.2025 5:31 ↓

Thinking about road trips. I like them. Do you like them?
