Love on your people

Five years ago today was the last day I got to spend with Karsten, although of course I didn’t know it at the time. People always think that if they could have a day back to spend with someone who’s

Suzanne Vega on Twitter: “I found my letter from Prince”

Such a simple post by Suzanne Vega; such a beautiful story. In case you can’t read the writing (although I think the penmanship, which is presumably Prince’s, is charming), it says: Dearest Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard

Noam Chomsky weighs in on Bernie Sanders’ impact at last night’s Live from the NYPL

A truly wonderful thing about living in New York City: events like the New York Public Library’s Live from the NYPL series. Last night, they hosted Yanis Varoufakis, Greece’s finance minister amidst the country’s financial crisis, and Noam Chomsky. I don’t give

The Meaning of Silence

It’s easy to interpret silence as inaction, or as lack of attention. But as in “the calm before the storm,” sometimes silence is the mark of activity just out of view. I haven’t been updating this blog, or my business

Reinvention, David Bowie, and Reinvesting Experience Into Creativity

Out of any characteristic I admire in people, it’s reinvention I tend to admire most. Adapting your work or your surroundings or your output in some way that honors where and who you have been and doesn’t lose sight of

The UX of Music

Music is magic, even when it’s also mundane. The subways are full of performers, just like the streets of Nashville, but every once in a while, even when you think you’re used to it, it catches you just right and

Sometimes you find yourself standing in a drugstore checkout line with fully-decked-out Halloween revelers at 2:30am when you get home from a lovely leisurely hangout with friends only to realize you have to run out to buy a toilet plunger.

After 12.5 Years in Nashville

After 12.5 Years in Nashville

It’s time. I’ve sold my car and a third of my belongings (and donated another third to Goodwill) and now I’ve sold my house and I’m officially on my way from Nashville to New York City. If my quick mental tally

Keep Calm and…

screen shot of image search showing lots of variations on the keep calm meme

The variations on “Keep Calm and Carry On” got worn out and became repetitive and tedious some time back. (My own personal flavor is “Keep Calm and Pet a Kitty.”) But the message in the words taken from the original British wartime poster,

Three Years

Three Years
