I was really moved by this recent story on This American Life called "Just South of the Unicorns."
A teenager runs away from home to move in with someone he's never met, his idol, the person he respects most of all — a fantasy writer named Piers Anthony.
I was never a big sci-fi/fantasy fan. I escaped to non-fiction—history, curios, philosophy—instead. But I certainly understand the need to escape from your day-to-day reality, with the desire to reset the clock with some extended quietness with text.
I can't wait for the summer.

On March 27, 2016, I walked around Victoria with a camera full of Lomography100ISO film, Here are some of the photos I took that day:
I'm trying to monopolize as many "jeffnords" profiles online as I can. So... A couple days ago, I signed up for Reddit. I don't really understand how it works, but I signed up anyhow. Today I began to put a profile together on LinkedIn. Heck, I even resurrected my old MySpace profile, although I don't know what I'm going to do with it. The more I admit that so little of my life is actually in my control, the more comfort I find in social media. If my private life's a mess, let's completely destroy my private persona altogether!
