Easter 2026 | Weeknotes #433
Over Easter I hung out with my parents, went for walks, participated in a chaotic church raffle, and did a bunch of odd jobs around the house.
Writing for the Machines | Weeknotes #430
Maybe I should just admit to myself that all I really want, is for some small trace of me to live forever in the mind of the machine god?
Back Again (Again)
Another week’s weeknotes coming to you on a Tuesday evening.
Permission To Start Again
I didn’t quite understand what it meant back then. That a piece could define its own vessel, as I did it the other way around.
This Is What I’ll Think Next Year
Every six months or so, I end up writing something here about how much unfinished writing I have. Finishing things is so hard.
Broken Cable, Broken Flow
I have had a really unproductive week, thanks to a technical disaster entirely of my own making.
Landing Sequence | 2519
This show represents an enormous amount of effort and discipline. Sustaining any single format for eight years is achievement enough for me.
Tales Untold | 2516
It is the graft that reveals the craft.
Substack Should Have an Editoral Marketplace
I think there are some really good writers on Substack who, if they worked with a good editor could become excellent ones
Back for a Speech
I went down to The Chalk because my dad was stepping down as president of a club he is a member of and he had to give a speech.
Be Generous Online | 2511
Generosity is the protocol that transforms the web from a collection of isolated ‘contents’ into a thriving, interconnected community.
Public Thoughts, Private Room
A blog is not—and never will be—the full contents of a mind. And proper diary remains a private room. And I’m okay with that.
I Watch Bright Things Unfold Themselves
All I really have to report this week is that I like a single sentence that I wrote. Sometimes just the one is enough!
Easter ’25
I went back down to the chalk on Wednesday last week and was really blessed by the weather.
Desktop Publishing | 2503
I can’t remember the last time I heard anyone seriously use the phrase ‘Desktop Publishing.’ Maybe the mid-2000s?
Start Select Reset Zine #012 | Shadow Boxing x Long Form Leap
This issue is a double feature, exploring two intertwined challenges: Shadow Boxing and my move to long form essay writing.
