Weekly Reflections #17
In which we melt into anarchy. Reading: Finished The Dispossessed yesterday. I don’t know. It was totally fine. One of those polemics cleverly disguised as a novel. There were moments, but only moments, of real characters and plot, and a lot of characters serving as mouthpieces for what felt like a college seminar’s philosophical debate.…

In which we do things for a second time. A few thoughts on finishing my second playthrough of Elden Ring, which I think is now my favorite videogame of all time: Reading: The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin Watching: We just finished season 1 of Silo. The finale was superb. I don’t usually dig post-apocalyptic…

Weekly Reflections #15
In which we contemplate a life offline. We lost internet for about 24 hours this week (it rained basically nonstop for about 4 days, a tree fell and snapped the overhead line that runs to our house). This got me thinking about the ridiculous amount of things we rely on the internet for–to the point…

Weekly Reflections #13
In which we press on without sleep. Most of the time, in our relationship, my wife and I are able to navigate our natural circadian rhythms, that she rises 1-2 hours earlier than I’d like and I go to sleep 1-2 hours later than she’d like. And sometimes, that doesn’t quite work, for whatever reason.…

In which we attempt a comeback. “Indigo De Souza” by davidjlee is licensed under CC BY 2.0. Writing about why I haven’t been writing isn’t interesting for anyone. So let’s not. A quick thought that’s been on my mind for the last couple of days re: receiving feedback. I’ve ascribed for a while to the Conscious Leadership Group’s…

Weekly Reflections #11
In which we suppress a freakout about democracy. April is a month of travel for me. Twice to Tennessee, once to Orlando, once to New York, and in between a visit from my in-laws (who are lovely). I neither love nor hate travel, but that schedule is a little heavier than I’d like. Why? I…

Weekly Reflections #10
In which we attempt to not freak out about AI. Sometimes when it’s been, you know, a day, I like to sit down with some chips, a diet coke, my phone, and turn the tv on. It’s this sort of complete sensory overload where my brain and body get so much input that it dulls…

Weekly Reflections #9
In which we return from a break. A few notes from our 3-year delayed honeymoon in New Zealand: Speaking of which, I finished 4 books on the trip/in the last day or so. I think my favorite was Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid (now a show on Amazon Prime). It’s a…

Weekly Reflections #8
In which we prepare for a break. Next week we’ll leave for our covid-delayed honeymoon which happens to fall on our third anniversary. We’ve done the planning, figured the logistics, and I bought a number of paperback books to take on the flights (I own a Kindle but don’t love reading on it beyond silly…
