What a year! More to come on that but suffice it to say that I, like many others if instagram is to be believed, say good riddance to 2017. This week, though, has been wonderful—family time on family time on family time, with a hilarious road trip, remote working, “cheese” shopping, and getting to meet…
Over at dailyhap.com, I posted some fresh ruminations on love and loss … “That sense of loss is exactly what we must anticipate, prepare for, and cherish to the last of our days; for it is only our heartbreak that finally refutes all that is ephemeral in love.” – A Gentleman in Moscow, Amor Towles…
Nali, Mom, and I are road trippin’ right now (presumably). We’re making the 20-hour+ trek so that I can bring my nervous lil pup back to Texas for two weeks! (follow along on insta stories for the hilarity…) Leaving behind my home even for a couple weeks, here are the things I’ll most miss: Sundays!…
Nails it: “… sexual harassment may entail behaviors that on their own would be criminal — assault or rape — but the legal definition of its harm is about the systemic disadvantaging of a gender in the public and professional sphere”.

My family has gotten into a wonderfully fun tradition the last couple of years where we go Christmas shopping together, after Christmas. All four us! It’s loads of fun as we team up at Last Call and Nordstrom Rack, so both the boys and girls can have a wide selection. We’ll also usually stop at…

As someone who knew about jellies before they were cool, yeah, I’m late to bitcoin, get over it. Here are some of my favorite resources for explaining what the eff it is. The Original Bitcoin pdf Tim Ferris podcast with Nick Szabo has one of the greatest analogies for blockchains Two Beginners Guides: All of…
Hi-Time Wine Cellars has a little-known around-$10/bottle wine club, featuring two wines per month (they also have the option for an around-$25/bottle wine club too). It’s neat because it’s a low price point, you can always buy what you liked again, and they include almost a page of notes on each wine, not just tasting…
A couple weeks ago, an Eagles-fan friend of mine and I booked a last-minute trip to Seattle for the Eagles-Seahawks game and to see my only-ever adult roommate (excepting my brother). We left Friday after work and booked the insane return flight time of 6am Monday morning, in time to work. As you can see…
Remember when Patagonia introduced recycled down in their beyond-fab Bivy jackets and I was obsessed? I’m—if possible—even more obsessed with their new recycled cashmere collection. We took cashmere scraps, spun them with five percent virgin wool for strength, and created a luxurious new cashmere collection with a much lower ecological impact than virgin cashmere. 95%…
