It’s November sixth, but the month and day are just placeholders. We’re short on time and everyone knows it. It was 73 degrees today and people were out in throngs. Tending to their yards. Walking dogs. Talking with neighbors. Anything to cling on to those last bits of our outside lives. The sun claws its […]

Zen and the Art of Blowing Leaves
Related to my post on snowplowing, this also applies to blowing leaves.
Blogging is… back?
So Twitter got bought – like, actually got bought – and people are pissed. And rightfully so. Musk seems like either a lunatic or completely in over his head but either way, the outcome is the same – people are bailing. It’s kind of a shame, because Twitter is the only social network I ever […]
Rotate 90 Degrees
A couple weeks back, I got a new Toyota 4Runner. It’s amazing and I love it. Below is a photo of the audio control panel on the steering wheel. I do not love it. Take a close look at the direction of the arrows here. Things like this make me crazy. I’m sure someone somewhere […]
Streamers are the New Talk Shows
It all started with a tweet. When I originally Negaoryx’s tweet, I ignored it. In the cover photo, I noticed the girl was a streamer and the clip had something to do with Breath of the Wild. I scrolled by casually, but it started getting retweeted and quoted enough that it finally caught my attention. […]
People are awesome
OK, so it’s no People Are Awesome but I love this. I still have some faith left in people after all.
Sitting Out

I first learned about Kahneman from his book “Thinking Fast and Slow”. Aside from being an interesting guy, I was struck by his attitude when he was fielding questions from […]
Snapchat and Growth Hacking
I first signed up for Snapchat years ago, but after being completely befuddled by its user interface, I deleted it pretty quickly. I’ve been hearing so much about it lately that I decided to reinstall it and play around. Overall, it’s been fun talking with friends and checking it out. It’s still inscrutable, but it’s […]
The Green New Deal Has a Branding Problem
Nope, this branding problem has nothing to do with waging war against lobbyists, pseudoscience, or the “Estbalishment” – it’s grammar. Grammar is the great equalizer. It has an equal harshness for all of us, regardless of what you believe in. There’s beauty in that. Every time I read any reference to the Green New Deal, […]
Email’s Walled Garden
Online publishing seems to be in kind of a weird phase these days. With the death of Google Reader many years ago (gone too soon!), the self-publishing and RSS ecosystem seems to have left the mainstream consciousness. For years, I’ve been watching my favorite authors lament its disappearance and their subsequent battle to stay engaged […]
