Here's what's tickin'
-
It's nice to feel some optimism again.
-
New blog post, and gave the site a halloween costume. https://subcultureofone.org/2025/10/25/welcome-to-twin-peaks/
-
Set up a scheduled build of my site to pull in status updates a couple times a day. Now I can see if it works. 🤞
-
I set a PR for 10K today and I wasn't trying to. Still not convinced that I'll be able to beat my half marathon PR in 2 weeks, but this is encouraging. 🏃
-
Had my first fiction writing course today. It's a fascinating group and an engaging instructor. I walked out with a decent idea and some much-needed clarity about the sort of writing I'd like to do.
-
I just realized I've been reading Winesburg, Ohio while listening to Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You. I think they complement one another though they're separated by 100 years.
-
🏃Week ending 2025-10-19: 24.2 miles. Ran the Race for Rescue 5K on the 19th and placed 3rd in my age group (out of 7, but I still got a medal).
-
Winesburg, Ohio: I enjoyed this more than I felt like I did while I was reading it. I'll go back and reread it one day. 📚
-
Been getting back to working on tkr. It's fun - I really do enjoy this project and I'm learning a lot.
-
I went to New York City this weekend and did some quality brewery-hopping. I've seriously neglected Evil Twin. I'll correct that in the future.
-
Going to switch to a weekly recap of physical activities so that it's less of a deluge (and so I don't have to update as often).
-
11.70 miles @ 9:24/mile. Yesterday: 4.55 miles @ 9:15/mile. 🏃

I'm seriously considering digging a pit in my backyard and inviting everyone I know over for a pig roast.

You have the inclination to be alone and to dream and you are afraid of dreams.
-
I hiked with goats this weekend! I highly recommend it if you have the chance.

2025-09-26: 6.26 miles @ 9:27/mile. Starting to feel better. 🏃

Recording all these runs has given me an idea: letting people define post categories based on emoji, and making corresponding filtered rss and atom feeds.
-
Really enjoyed Ministry of Time. Good stories about time travel aren't ABOUT TIME TRAVEL, and this is one of those. 📚
-
2025-09-24: 5.32 miles @ 9:30/mile - 9x10s @ 5:15/mile 🏃- definitely overtraining. Time to take more rest days.
