Hey all,

Just like last year, I accidentally took a summer break for this here newsletter, so here’s a link dump from my June, July, and August adventures. Happy reading!

✍️ My latest

A eulogy for Glen Hansard.

We went to see the Wild Kratts live on stage and it ruled.

For America Month at Cinema Sugar I wrote about two of my (very different) all-time favs: Lincoln and National Treasure.

On Instagram I recorded some quick reels on demolishing kids in Dadgeball, wearing helmets, and why physical media > streaming.

I did a virtual interview about my reading for Zachary Kai’s Shelf Source series.

Some fresh shots in the latest Recent Views and Critters of the Moment.

Did a status update on my podcast listening and other media of the moment.

🔗 From the interwebs

Typewriters + dictionaries + lexicography = the backwards index.

Jurassic Park computers in excruciating detail.

A listening museum of mechanical keyboards and typewriters.

How IKEA furniture lost its color.

Fictional journeys drawn on the real world.

A modern apartment full of ordinary things that once inspired awe. 

Don’t paste the AI and don’t say just hello in chat.
