After daily blogging for over a year, I’m going to try mixing things up for February and March. In part because I’ll be in Ecuador most of the time, in part because I want to make myself write longer stuff more often, in part because I’m curious and I like change. I’ll still be writing… Continue reading A New Approach Next Month

2015: A Personal Year in Review
Alright, my good friend and Praxis colleague TK Coleman convinced me to share this personal recap in a blog post after I shared it with him in an email.

Back from Two Weeks Completely Offline
No work. No email. No Slack. No social media. No blogging. No Voxer. No internet of any kind. I had a few text messages, and watched a few things on Netflix (The Evolution of Hip-Hop is a wonderful series!), but otherwise nothing but rest, walks, a crazy diet and daily routine, and books – physical… Continue reading Back from Two Weeks Completely Offline
