Well hello there.

Hi Existential Media.
Thanks for inviting me to the family. I thought it might be helpful to give a bit of an introduction so as to avoid any confusion as to what exactly I’m doing here.

Generally, I feel a bit lost. This morning I left a frying pan on the stove for an hour before remembering my plans to cook an egg. During that hour I checked my email repeatedly, crocheted for a bit, filed away some full notebooks, and reviewed my schedule for next quarter.

This blog was originally called “Books and Boondoggling: Thoughts on urban, rural, and academic existence.” It is still all of those things, but I hope the new title exemplifies what I have been trying to do all along: focus.

I think a lot about feats of engineering, misleadingly idyllic landscapes, levee roads, concept maps, and getting my shit together.
