Today’s the day! My band, Tiny Bit of Giant’s Blood, has released our first full-length album, Gigantosaur. We’ve been working hard for months on this one, and it’s a relief to finally have it out there for people to get into...
Before and after, left-to-right: I repotted lemon tree 4.0 last weekend. We upgraded her from a 10-inch pot to a 14-incher. For those who are new here (that’d be everyone), this is a plant that I’ve been growing since last winter from a ...

So I find myself for the second time training for a Ragnar while nursing an Achilles injury. At a time when I really should be racking up street miles, that’s the worst thing to do. I’m left with cross-training, such as elliptcals, stati...
What if humanity is an instance of the Peter Principle? A group of hominids on the savanna with above-average cleverness and opposable thumbs woke up a few dozen millennia later and found themselves in charge of a civilization of nearly ten billion, ...
