When you discover a new-to-you piece of culture that you want to investigate, say, a new artist or a TV show, it can be hard to know where to start.
Most of us jump on Wikipedia and go from there, but these days I like to head over to Twitter.
Six years of logbooks
“Writers are the custodians of memory, and that’s what you must become if you want to leave some kind of record of your life…”
—William Zinsser

My morning routine
The site My Morning Routine asked me some questions about how I get my day started, and encouraged me to repost the answers here. Please note that this post is not intended to be prescriptive, but simply descriptive, a la Daily Rituals.
Retrospective
Last year, I wrote a piece about the importance of not spending all of December in retrospection. (One of Ed Ruscha’s friends once said to him, “I don’t want no retro spective.”) We still have 30 days or so left in the year. Make them count. Keep going!
Video of my Show Your Work! chalktalk
The folks at Confab just posted video of my chalktalk based on Show Your Work! It’s my last talk of the year, the culmination of all the speaking I’ve done for the past eight months or so. It’s about 50 minutes long, there’s a drawing lesson at 8:14, and the real meat of the talk begins around 13:44. Enjoy!
