  Adventure! This is a post in response to Pablo hosting of IndieWeb Carnival for April, 2026 on the theme of “Adventure.” My parents contextualized difficult times as “an adventure.” Moving day was an adventure. Broken down car while on a family trip? Adventure. Sunburn during the summer? Adventure. I think it’s a valid way to think...

  Good weekend. It was a productive weekend. What on earth do I mean by that? I mean, I use that word: “productive”–it sounds like I worked. But I didn’t. It was a “good” weekend. But that doesn’t sound like anything. The adjective is useless. Good writing communicates better than platitudinal words. I did things! We went on...

  when I call you don’t pick up anymore I really love the band Hospitality. Something dreamy but also arch and ironic but also deeply heartfelt. It’s got all the contradictions that I love so much in artists I encountered once I hit my 30s and 40s. Here’s a song called Friends of Friends: Actually, it’s so good I’ll link to two versions.

  I write. I moved another page which I’d brought into WordPress out of WordPress. And so, the new Writing page, which will continue to be a sort of work in progress. I really want to provide a bit more context, add more dates, and some nice summaries. Maybe even word counts? New job is going well. I...

  Another sketchy opportunity From a gmail address. Emphasis in original. I am pretty sure this would be violating the law and violating contractual agreements which might get made should an actual “job” get booked. Subject: To Joe Crawford Hi Joe, This is %REDACTED%, and I’ve found your contact from LinkedIn. I’ve been managing an outsourcing team for the...

  Zoomies Yesterday the dog got zoomies. Zoomies are what Americans (others too?) call it when a dog runs around in circles in what looks either manic or fun or maybe both. Kelly had gone to work.
