People who read books and wear glasses are cooler than everyone else.

I've added an audio component to the website. The first two of the year are simply reading a blog post, but later on it'll feature commentary.
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. But this year, this year will be different, I swear! Attempting…

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…
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…
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…

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.…
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…
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…
