Lost Coast, April 2013


Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Ffunny Ffrends


“If I only scrape a living, at least it’s a living worth scraping. If there’s no future in it, at least it’s a present worth remembering.”


We would like our customers to feel the rational sense of satisfaction that comes not with “this is the best,” but with “this is enough.” “Best” becomes “enough.”

— MUJI




A Major Work

Poems are hard to read 
Pictures are hard to see 
Music is hard to hear 
And people are hard to love 

But whether from brute need 
Or divine energy 
At last mind eye and ear 
And the great sloth heart will move.

- William Meredith




I don’t ever want to fail, but I want to risk failure every time out of the gate.

Quentin Tarantino

This fills me with overwhelming sadness. 
The 6s and 7s look so strange — surely the figures are off, a digit missing. But that’s not the case, as the parents of those 20 children know well. 
I can’t shake the image of Christmas gifts, ordered online just days ago, arriving next week at what for some is a newly childless household.
The impact of such a loss is immeasurable, the ripple effects endless. My friend Eric did a good job articulating this in a blog post after the Virginia Tech shooting. You can read it here.
