READING

Is it still considered reading, if you’re not actually reading? I think so. Audible has helped me increase the number of books I’m able to ingest. Join Audible and get my audio book for free here.

Reading now:

Poem of the day - Delivered to your inbox each morning as a substitute (or salve) to reading the news. Highly recommended for priming your day.

On deck:

Deep Work - Cal Newport

LISTENING

Solo Like Me: The Seth Godin Interview - A podcast dedicated to “designing a life around the pursuit of interesting work.” George Gendron’s interview of Seth Godin (a personal hero) is outstanding.

How to take a Two-month Sabbatical Every Year - Jerry Colonna instructs Tim Ferriss on the mechanics and the value of taking time off. Worth a listen and a re-listen.

Proof Podcast : Mike Shinoda - I’ve been researching NFTs, crypto, + DeFI. Kevin Rose’s latest podcast interviews Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park) on this episode and it has me spinning with new ideas and applications within the architectural space.

LEARNING

Roadrunner - Heartbreaking, instructive, and utterly human. I sincerely miss Anthony Bourdain.

The Alpinist - As a mountain climber, I found this both riveting and terrifying. If you’re remotely interested in adventure docs watch it without Google-ing around about it; it doesn’t end where you think it will.

Off-center Harbor Video Tutorials - Gifted to me by a client, this collection of instructional videos has me learning all about power boat handling and maintenance as I continue to shop for a trawler.

Currently enrolled:

Models as Design Tools - As an architecture student, I drooled over the models of Morphosis. Finally, this is my chance to learn their techniques.
