A Gentle Madness
I’m declaring a temporary moratorium on buying books. The shelves are full and I'll not resort to the madness of stacking books on top of another in a corner next to those shelves. I need to dive into these recent…

Books Can’t Be Beat
A Kindle can't beat this feeling
28GB
I've calculated the disk storage space for all of my physical media including e-books, CDs and video discs. 28 gigabytes on one device is seriously impressive, but what else would I surround myself with?
I Don’t Make The Rules.
People who read books and wear glasses are cooler than everyone else.
February Stats
Added 28 books to my library in the month of February. One title for each day. This brings the total acquired titles in 2026 so far to 83. Titles on my shelves are up to 315. 59 days in 2026…
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…
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…
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

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.
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…
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…
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.
