Groundhog Day Resolution 2026
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions: I’ve tried and they never stuck. Truth be told, I have attempted GHD resolutions a total of thirteen times and they never stuck. Attempting new year resolutions in January is optimistic in a way that doesn’t match real life.…

31
They say the first 31 days of the year are the hardest and I agree. It isn’t easy to maintain fitness discipline in January but by golly, I have done it. Now to close out the remaining 334 days with equal perfection.

55 Books In January
January got a little out of hand. Earlier this month I mentioned I had already picked up 26 books in 2026. That number did not stay put. A few more stops at thrift stores, a few late-night dives into public domain archives, and suddenly the…

Well This Is New
Somewhere along the way a switch flipped. I bought an air fryer so eating well doesn’t feel like a punishment or a project. This should help me eat better and save less in the long run. At Costco, I loaded up on meats and fish…

Eleven
My last post of 2025 was dedicated to the 164 books I acquired in 2025. Here it is, the 10th of January and I have already collected 11 titles added to the ever-growing Catalog. More books than days it seems.

164 Books in 2025
No, I did not read 164 books this year. That would be brilliant. I did, however, add 164 titles to my shelves this year. I decided to close out 2025 by purchasing #164 today with Umberto Eco’s “On Literature.” I am looking forward to consuming…

Audio Denbow
I’ve reached the point where I’m done pretending I’m okay with renting my own music taste. If I don’t physically (and digitally) have the music files, I don’t actually own anything. Streaming is convenient, sure, but it’s fragile as hell. Albums disappear, metadata mutates, and…

Denbow Decimal System
Over the years, my archive outgrew folders, tags, and good intentions. Writing, notes, drafts, photos, references, half-finished ideas, and finished ideas pretending they weren’t finished yet. Everything piled up. Search helped. Tags helped. But neither answered a simple question. What is this thing, really, and why does…

Shelved Evidence of a Restless Mind
Over the past year, my personal library has grown fast and in unexpected directions. Not because I set out to build some impressive-looking wall of spines, but because curiosity kept dragging me down new paths and I let it. This isn’t a themed collection. It…

Change Log
The past week has been dedicated to acknowledge the previous 25 years worth of writing here and then quickly archiving it. The slate has been cleaned and the website underwent a massive transformation as a result. New database, new HTML code and CSS added. The…

Multicursal
Previously I wrote about uncertain paths but felt compelled to explore it again. There are some paths we can decide to walk on, and there are some that show up along the way we weren’t expecting. Understanding which paths to take and seeing where they…

The Path Less Understood
There are some paths we can decide to walk on, and there are some that show up along the way we weren’t expecting. Understanding which paths to take and seeing where they could go is what keeps me going forward.

The Next Twenty-Five
Twenty-six years online. Everything before today has been archived where it belongs. This is a new page and a new era. The past is preserved. The future starts here. I’m rebuilding with intent and curiosity.

Archived
I have created this page to host all previous articles on my website. In other words, nothing new to see here. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to view previous articles over the years. Or, while you are down there, utilize the search…

Paleo Denbow?
As opposed to the Keto diet that I’ve tried. The fact that I can consume potatoes and fruit is a huge win for me.
