generic update: 2024 edition

 whoa holy shit, i am typing up a new post. in the year 2024, no less! what the hell. is going on.

anyway, hello! it's been a minute. what am i up to now? let's see.

  • i work as an IT helpdesk manager for a nonprofit that does IT for libraries across the state of Colorado.
  • i am married to the beautiful, talented, and wickedly smart Andrea, who is a librarian.


  • i have two cats, Link and Kirby, who are a) gorgeous and b) extremely photogenic, and c) shockingly outgoing for cats.
    • Link
    • Kirby



  • i am a homeowner, a fact which continues to shock and astound me. we live in a three-bedroom smallish 1970s-era home that had a past life as a single family dwelling, then a section 8 home, then a rental for college kids, now our house.
  • i am concerned about our world - the rapacious imperialist white supremacist capitalist hetero-patriarchy gets me down, even though i live in the Imperial Core and am by any standard absolutely stupidly fortunate.
  • i am "neurospicy", by which i mean i am well-medicated for a variety of things like depression and ADHD.
  • i am a Type II diabetic.
  • i am a vegan.
  • i am a practicing, dedicated buddhist. largely in the Rinzai Zen tradition, but i'm learning more about Zen/Pure Land hybrid practices, and am deeply influenced by Theravada understanding too.
  • i write mediocre to bad poetry as a hobby. no, i will not show you, unless in the form of haiku. my haiku are too short to be insultingly bad.
  • i am attempting to live by solarpunk principles, which for me are informed by permaculture, anticapitalist thought, and radical sustainability/degrowth.
i think those are the important things? anyway, someone on the internet actually asked me for a long-form blog post about something, so i dug up this old blog and will see if i can get cracking on it again.
