I've lived in two cities with big booster culture, Atlanta and Chicago.

At the beginning of 2026, I found myself annoyed at the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) for not having a yearly wrapped.

I've been interested in shortlinks for several years.

I'm 20 years late, but I finally started using RSS this year as a way to keep track of the different blogs I like to read.

I lived in Atlanta for several years before moving to Chicago in 2024.

I just finished reading this excellent article about people using Meta's smart glasses to harass workers at their jobs for social media content, and it brought up a lot of frustration I've been feeling about smart glasses recently.

I've been riding a lot of Lime and Divvy e-scooters this year, and I've been having a lot of fun with them.

Something I've recently been thinking about a lot is how I think public perception of AI would likely be vastly different (and positive) if the people at the forefront of the pro side weren't Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg.

Paramore’s This Is Why (2023) Paramore is one of my top five favorite bands of all time.

Interpol’s The Other Side of Make-Believe (2022), released on Matador Records Okay, literally no one asked for this but I’ve decided to share my thoughts on Interpol’s new album The Other Side of Make-Believe.

Background Before the pandemic began, I wasn’t much of a bicyclist.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of discourse (internet lingo for “everyone is yelling about their opinions”) about people leaving cities and why that essentially makes you a sellout because you didn’t try to stick around and make things better.

Recently, I was looking at old Sanborn Maps of my neighborhood (the West End) and came across something interesting called Lincoln Park.

I was born and spent the first 11 years of my life in New York City.

60 years ago, a major section of the West End (a Cincinnati, Ohio neighborhood) was bulldozed and flattened so a new neighborhood and interstate highway could be built through it.

Recently, Kanye West has been making headlines (I feel like that’s an evergreen phrase) with his recent actions surrounding church and his faith.

I don’t really have much to say except that 79 people listened to over 2,000 minutes of my music this year and I’m in shock.
