Things I wrote

  • Fonts, performance, & learning

    21 September 2017

    I've spent the week I have between projects learning more about web fonts.

  • My Favorite Thing is Monsters

    19 September 2017

    The story went in some very unexpected directions, dipping into World War II history, the mob, and dynamics of grade school life, but it was so well done, it worked together perfectly.

  • Awaiting rain

    12 September 2017

    I'm ready for fall.

  • Butler's parables

    11 September 2017

    I had to keep reminding myself that these books were written in 90s, not last year.

  • The Wanderers

    08 September 2017

    I ended up liking the book overall, the ending was worth it. But it wasn't a page turner, it was more quietly interesting.

  • Totality

    22 August 2017

    There really are no words to describe it.

  • Castle Waiting

    17 August 2017

    The craziness, the strange characters, and the fairy tale like quality is exactly what I liked about this book.

  • Meditation

    10 August 2017

    I'm coming up on 40 consecutive days of meditating.

  • Blankets

    10 August 2017

    It's an incredibly sweet story of coming of age and dealing with your first love.

  • Privilege, tech, and connection

    07 August 2017

    I take issue with the idea that we must always be connected and checking our devices in order to further our careers.

  • The Peripheral

    31 July 2017

    I highly recommend reading this, it's a fast moving story that you'll find hard to put down. And then we can talk about The Jackpot over a drink.

  • The Incal

    28 July 2017

    <em>The Incal</em> is an insane, wonderful adventure that ends exactly as a comic of its nature should.

  • Lila

    21 July 2017

    Lila is Marilynne Robinson's companion novel to Gilead.

  • Upstream

    17 July 2017

    Oliver's ability to talk about a dog, a snapping turtle, or an injured gull and help me see larger themes of the world in it never fails to startle me and delight me.

  • Against the grain

    10 July 2017

    As I've been looking for work, which means looking at a lot of job postings, I've been discovering that what I love about the web is not so much what a lot of other people love.
