Must blogging be lonely? Must an author allow comments to meet some imagined framework? Does there need to be anything more than a space in which you share thoughts? The answer is no, not at all. What value is gained from blind adherence to arbitrary boundaries imposed by others? Your site can be a digital home, a...

There are books and then there are books. The kind where you can’t put down until they’re finished with you. The kind that captures every atom of your attention and changes something deep down. You walk away altered, the words having not really been words or sentences but something else altogether. That’s how I felt...

You need time, a consistent and gradual increase in success while keeping a fast pace and dynamic processes. The result and gratification will come in small pieces and slowly.

The Idea Thanks to my dad’s good taste in music, my childhood had a killer soundtrack: classic rock, 70s folk music, and 80s new wave. At home or in the car, a constant rotation of The Beatles, Cream, Simon and Garfunkel, Talking Heads, and The Human League. Things were off to a good start. Then in 1995, I...
This is an excerpt from my journal. It is past midnight now. I got home from a long walk in the mountains. I do hike every evening or night with my dogs. When there is a full moon I also go for another round afterwards to enjoy the experience. There is something uncommon about walking under the moonlight. You can...
