Thanks for stopping by. This started as a place to warehouse my book reviews in case Goodreads eats them, but it’s evolved to a full on blog focused on books, music and other things that strike me, which is generally stuff about tech, finance and design. You can find ways to reach me in the footer. Email me anytime.
