My friend Frank unearthed 35mm photos he took in college. This is me at 22. That surprised look was permanent.

I don’t own a house, but I found Marques Brownlee’s solar roof explainer fascinating. Would love to be totally off the grid.

…the main obstacles to meaningful action on the climate crisis in the West are politics and capitalism, which is supposed to make readers feel hopeful.

I’m with Jason Kottke in not feeling hope from this, yet being a climate sooner is no alternative.

Listening to a lot of the Moody Blues today. Feels good.

Currently reading: Neuromancer by William Gibson 📚Time to confirm my nerd card.

Finished reading: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky 📚What a ride. Avoided so many sci-fi cliches, and was genuinely compelling.

Stopped reading: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I was enjoying it, but since I’m traveling light I decided to not take any physical books with me. 📚

📚 Started reading Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovksy.

Wrapping up at #DrupalCon and I’ve had a blast. Great to meet new friends and reconnect with old ones. Also—Pittsburgh is a great town. See everyone online!

After eight years of marriage and thirteen years together, my wife and I are getting divorced. I am, for now, without a home.

Our marriage ending came as a shock. While I knew we were going through a …

Got back from my first trip to Atlanta, and got to share it with many friends. In NYC for a few days, then off to Pittsburgh for DrupalCon! I’ll be at the Lullabot booth, so stop by if you’re attending.

Started reading: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, by Dave Eggers. This one wasn’t on my radar at all, but a friend had an extra copy, and I’m intrigued! 📚

Finished reading: Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke. What a beautiful, riveting, and emotional journey, all told through journals! 📚

Yes, who watches the watcher, but more importantly—who washes the watcher? Dude is gross.

Started reading: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke. I read Johnathan Strange & Mr. Norrell years ago and enjoyed it, so am really excited for this one. 📚

Finished reading: Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. Nihilistic, weird, brutal, and well observed. I really liked it. 📚

Started reading: Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. One of those books I never read. This is one of those books I probably wouldn’t have appreciated when they were required reading, but am loving now. 📚

Finished reading: Sourcery: A Discworld Novel. As with any Discworld novel, its total escapist fun, with the problems of the real world layered in. Some of the probably-progressive-seeming-at-the-time characterizations of Conina could be left back in 1988, but overall really enjoyable. 📚

Started reading: Sourcery: A Discworld Novel by Terry Pratchett.

Finished reading: Bea Wolf, by Zach Weinersmith and illustrated by Boulet. An adaptation of Beowulf for children, and absolutely delightful.

Sometimes, all I really want is to flip everyone off and disappear to rock music.
