Sunday Morning Walks
Recently, my wife and I started to walk together. We haven’t done so regularly since we lived in New York. We used to walk everywhere. One of our first dates was to walk from Central Park, down Broadway, past K-Town and Union Square, and Houston – all the way to the Ferry terminal below Wall […]
Still messy, these social networks
Since the move to Threads a year ago, I’ve been happy with the product execution and the resulting quality of conversations and community. Generally, there are thoughtful posts about topics I’m interested in: technology, politics, photography, and funny dog bloopers.

Midlife friendships
I have three or four texts with once-close-friends. They’re all messages where we try to catch up and rekindle something about our friendships. We were once close and yet – and yet – for the past decade or so, I’ve never felt more adrift from them. One day you look up and the friends with […]
Hide & Seek
I’ve been falling into the embrace of Imogen Heap’s voice. Her harmonization with the vocoder still sounds futuristic and surreal after all these years. The audacity to record 5 minute track with just her raw voice is incredible. Innovator. Mad scientist. Creator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYIAfiVGluk
