I was inspired to create this after reading the now page on Derek Sivers’ site. I’ve heard him interviewed on several podcasts and have been harvesting his insights and thinking when I think they’d be useful for making my life better. I’m also adding a “currently reading” section to this as a permanent section.

Prepping for the Bridgestone Rebuild
I scored a 1994 Bridgestone RB-1 — this was my dream bike for a hot minute — back in April, and I’ve slowly been assembling the parts to get it back to rideable and factory-new condition. This has entailed chasing down parts from all over the fucking globe (I’ve had orders from Japan and Italy as part of this), and it’s been a labor of love. I finally have everything in-hand, except spokes, which arrive tomorrow. So tomorrow, I’ll be lacing up a pair of new wheels for it.
Di’s Portfolio
We did this in July, and we’re doing it again! I’ve been unhappy with what we’ve been able to produce in WordPress, so we’re approaching this with the mindset that we need something better.
Writing
Still working on “The Grief Engine” about my mom’s memory/dementia and how she taught me to ride a bike.
