New post on Go On Without Me. I had a session with AI. It didn’t go well.

People! One thing I forgot regarding my new publication -- Go On Without Me -- is that subscribing is ABSOLUTELY FREE!! Yes, while I'm getting my legs under me, you can read all my content at absolutely no charge. THAT'S a bargoon if I've ever heard one.

Plus, as a bonus, I've migrated my old Medium column, This Used To Be a Thing, to my new site. That's a bunch more content, COMPLETELY FREE!!

Please join me, and give your brain a few minutes off while the world burns. Cheers!

Announcement! I've started a new publication on Ghost, "Go On Without Me." (it's not as depressing as it sounds.) The first post is live, please give it a look-see and subscribe! Hoping to do these weekly.

If, like me, you're utterly clueless about what's going on culturally anymore, this may be for you!

Trying to be more of a "thought leader" (yeesh, I HATE that term) on LinkedIn, so I'm writing some stuff. Here's my latest.

Hello, good people. I really didn’t mean for my new Medium column “This Used To Be A Thing” to be focused strictly on medical quackery, but it’s worked out that way so far. Enjoy learning about the Spectro-Chrome.

Big news! (At least for me.) My first Medium article has just been published! I’ve started a new column called “This Used To Be A Thing” about obscure things/people/events in history. Hoping to make this a weekly thing, I’m very excited about it. Enjoy!

And finally (for now), a post I wrote about actually fixing something. Being as extraordinarily un-handy as I am, this was worth celebrating.

Here's a more recent piece about the unique history of the former Rio Theatre in Rodeo, CA. Might be some names you recognize in here.

Here's another piece about another brewer doing amazing things, making truly artisanal beer. One slight update -- the taproom mentioned in the piece is no longer open, but they've since open another in Yountville, CA, not far away. Cheers!

Hey peeps. Still working under the hood to get my site fully functional, but I figure in the meantime I should repost some "greatest hits" from my years blogging, so you can get an idea of how I roll. As most of you know I'm also a big beer nerd, here's my visit to the Grand Temple of Craft Brewing.
