history rhymes

you never forget the first Jackie Chan movie you saw

Middle-age and older-middle-age dudes: there are likely guys in your life your age range, or slightly younger than you, that want to be your friend. The one standing in your way of having friends is you.

I'm in the midst of making high-resolution digital transfers of some vinyl records. Anyone want a crash course in making good-sounding LP rips?

Last month two library workers reached out to Public Collectors to ask about making a booklet version of Fobazi Ettarh's essay "Vocational Awe and Librarianship: The Lies We Tell Ourselves" for a Celebration of Life event. We did, and it is now available for all: halfletterpress.com/vocational-a...

sucks: getting yelled at on a Zoom call by your boss in front of other people for dumb reasons rules: getting WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER and THE GHOST AND MISTER CHICKEN on blu-ray in the mail after the meeting

Remember, it's only a waste of taxpayer money when it is something that is being done to help other people
