Don’t tell me not to worry.
Don’t tell me not to worry about my 79-year-old father with chronic lung disease.
Don’t tell me not to worry about my kids missing a quarter (semester? more?) of classroom instruction.
Don’t tell me...
(video clip) I couldn’t have known while watching it live that this bat drop, recorded at Strikes a few weeks ago, might have been the last one I’d see. Preparations for baseball tryouts next week had been proceeding apace for almost ten...
On the face of it, it was cathartic to spend several hours yesterday dismantling ~10 years of Lego creations to box up for donation. Entropy had already taken its ruinous toll on the largest structures, leaving a lot of mid-sized substructures that ...
I’m hard at work on an email subcription thingy for this blog. I can reliably be counted on to spend a ton of time on the infrastructure of a thing before I actually use the thing. Examples include pedalboards I’ve built, offices I&rsquo...
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...

I bought a new pair of pants this weekend, and put them on this morning for the first time. When I reached into the pocket, I found the above note. So, I guess, “new” pants. I hope the previous owner enjoyed his breakfast. Last night was...
I’m breaking up with MapMyRun today. It’s over. The thrill is gone. There are a lot of other fish in the ocean, all of which can do the most basic thing that a run tracking app should do, which is, you know, to accurately track your fuck...
On Saturday, I got together with a bunch of old friends who happen to be amazing musicians, and did a couple of sets of covers for an interesting fundraiser. It’s this concept called Craftsman Cafe, the likes of which I haven’t seen befo...
