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.

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…

Minimalist iPhone
I’ve been looking for an everyday minimal carry and to reduce dependency from an iPhone for some time. I want to limit distractions, I don’t want to carry my iPhone with me everywhere, until I do. But I want the freedom of choice sometimes to…

Happy Trails
Anyone else notice the continuing trend of athleisure wear? I’m not one for jumping on to band wagons but I am for utility, comfort and looking good while doing it. One of the many things I want to do this year is to get outdoors,…

Zen and the Art of Photography Pt 2
After my previous post I have thought of even more active practices to apply a mindset for more purposeful photography. Thirty-Six Exposures When shooting digital images in the past, I would try to capture anything and everything with little to show for it. Using a…
