Hey. If you are reading this, thanks for visiting. I created this website very quickly ahead of two conferences I attended in 2022. For quite some time I have been thinking about reviving a bloggish style thing where I can put ideas and half-baked thoughts. I used to have a bloggish style thing on our old band website, which has been lost to the ether. I still have those posts but they were written at another time in my life and I’m not sure how much I stand by them. Have you ever read something from your high school, undergraduate, or just earlier points in time? It’s kind of good to be mortified by the semi-coherent musings of your past self… it shows growth? Whether or not I include the old stuff, I do fully intend to start working on new stuff and putting it here.

What the hell are you talking about.

This will be a collection of thoughts, stuff connected to projects I’m working on, things that I want to write about but don’t really understand fully yet and like… public journaling. Throughout my life I have relied on talking things out with friends, family, or passersby to help me understand and make sense of my thoughts and the world. It’s just the way my brain works. Maybe you’re the same way? In the process of doing my master’s, PhD, writing a book, and working on multiple disconnected research projects I have all but exhausted the good will of the friendly folks around me who have spared no short amount of time and energy listening to my ramblings. Accordingly, I have taken the plunge to reactivate this bloggish style thing and contrived an entire website around it for better or worse. I have absolutely no idea how frequently I will post here. If you find yourself reading this for some reason, I hope it’s worth your while.
