I’ve been on a sabbatical in Maine for the past two months. It has been stunning, humbling, and spectacular - all true for the landscape here as well.
My photos and some thoughts as I now return to Brooklyn…
Oh, this will be the year. I am sending out wishes to the universe: keep me free from fear, ready to leap, knowing the net will appear.

Bread and the City
New York magazine has a great set of pieces this week on bread’s current moment in New York. They pick their top loaves and there’s a good NY bread timeline.
A few weeks ago, I gave a TEDx talk about my experience delivering bread for a salon themed “New York, New York.” Here’s the video:
It’s the first version of a project I call Breadmule, which might turn into something made of text someday.

Recipes for a Sunday night - this is how to put the whole meal together. It takes about an hour in total. (Recipes are for 2, multiply and divide as needed. You can also add a nice kale salad, just rub the salt into the leaves to soften them.)

kthread spins: keep me talking
New podcast, my first since February of this year.
(right-click to download, it’s too big for me to use the Tumblr audio setting.)
This podcast partially inspired by the doors of the Sagrada Familia.
Summer Weddings and Group Messaging Sitting in a Tree
Two months ago my sister was married, and at my suggestion the entire family used GroupMe as a way to coordinate what amounted to defensive strikes on local businesses and vendors as more than half a year of planning came together for the special, stressful day. My sister is a good use case as she falls into the category of brides who expend significant social and emotional resources on the event and on ways to catalogue all its attending data. Using GroupMe as a family we felt a little like lifestyle journalists, embedded in particularly problematic areas and reporting back from the field through our devices throughout the nuptial week.
Having watched the team at Ushahidi refine their crisis-mapping software (instances of which are deployed rapidly in natural disasters and during revolutions) over the past three years, group messaging’s current vogue feels like the mainstream counterpart, appropriate for matters of gravity in very small groups. Grouptext can collate emotional crises.
