  1. In a gesture of procrastination, I grabbed this book of Jonathan Z Smith interviews off the shelf and started reading. I have owned it for a while but never read it - and the first interview (from UChicago's newspaper in 2008) has me over here absolutely rolling on the floor w/laughter.

  2. Started reading Charles Taylor's "Cosmic Connections" ... Only about 100 pages in but oh man, do i already have some thoughts.

    Will need some time to process them into something shareable. But I'm esp. struggling to understand the book's central focus --- I feel like he has three or four closely related claims here that he is moving between without always distinguishing between them.

    I know this is vague... Consider this a placeholder, i guess.

  3. Hey, if you're interested in #Tana, here's a tour of the #workflows and structures I'm using to manage everything from #todo's to #BookNotes to #DreamJournals ... plus some thoughts on why Tana is leading me to rethink some of my own long-held software and data principles. If you tune in, please let me know how this inspires you!
