“0 the Humanity”

I dreamed that the title of the book I’m working on in reality, which doesn’t yet have a firm title, was “0 the Humanity” — 0 as in zero, as in binary 1s and 0s, referring of course to data

Writing as Identity and Action

A long time ago I read something Kevin Smith said about how if you ever thought you might be a filmmaker, guess what: you are. I don’t remember how he said it exactly, but what I took away was that if you want to be a

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

I’m not a very solitary person, which is funny since I work from home and end up spending a lot of time alone. But it’s one of the reasons I maintain a very active online presence; social media is a great

Sometimes You’ve Got to Run it Down to Charge Back Up

batteries

Throughout my career, I have always enjoyed working during the week or two surrounding Christmas and New Year’s, because typically it meant no one else was in the office and I got to focus. I never questioned any deeper why that time
