Watch “Holiday artichoke dip goes horribly wrong on air.” Global News. YouTube. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Dir. by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. I’m shocked at how much I enjoyed this film. Isn’t there enough IP content out there already? Well, yes…but there’s vanishingly little quality IP content, in my experience. This … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (12/25/23)

Watch Stories We Tell. Dir. Sarah Polley. I was awestruck by this documentary. The capsule summary of the film might make it sound like a depressing watch, but it’s anything but. And, in fact, it’s about far more than the mystery of Polley’s own parentage—it’s about how people construct the stories of their lives. “AI … Continue reading On 8 things from last week (12/18/23)

Watch The Rehearsal. dir. Nathan Fielder. This was not what I thought it was. The first of six episodes is a trick—oh, great! it’s a serial structure where each episode involves a different person rehearsing something. But, as someone familiar with Fielder’s final season of Nathan For You, I should have expected something a lot wilder and stranger. … Continue reading On 8 things from last week (12/11/23)

Watch House of Kardashian. I just plain don’t know much about the whole Jenner-Kardashian clan, so this brief docu-series was an informative, if painfully biased, watch. Cars. Dir. Pete Docter. I’ve now watched the Pixar film at least seven times through, thanks to an enthusiastic toddler in my house. And you know what? Sure, it’s a crass … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (12/4/23)

Watch Killers of the Flower Moon. Dir. Martin Scorsese. I enjoyed this film, but it was a bit of a slog, at over three and a half hours. Having just read the book, I was also in a position to consider the two side by side…and the book is better. Monsters, Inc. Dir. Pete Docter. … Continue reading On 9 things from last week (11/27/23)

Watch Top Chef. Season 13. A lesser season of the great cooking competition show. “How to Get Good at Small Talk, and Even Enjoy It.” Harvard Business Review. YouTube. White flag rule: tell the person that you need to close the conversation, but ask them one more question. “How to Start a Speech.” Conor Neill. YouTube.

Hand off! With my final days in sight, I have spent a ton of effort handing off the cumulative efforts of five years of work. The Polar Express ride. Santa hats off to the Colorado Railroad Museum for a wild night of entertainment! Eating at nice restaurants. Is something that’s hard to do with kids! … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (11/13/23)

Halloween. My toddler had a cold but delightful time trundling around in his cardboard plane. He was a little confused why we couldn’t “go to neighbors’ houses!” anytime we want. Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman! (Richard Feynman). I’m not sure what I expected, picking up the memoir by a Nobel Prize-winning physicist—but it was not … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (11/6/23)

Pueblo. In five years living on the Front Range, most of my travel has been into the mountains rather than along them. So, last week marked only the second time I've been to Pueblo. And it was delightful! Clearly, the city has struggled in the past decades, but there are signs of life in the … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (10/30/23)

Photo shoot. It’s been a while since I’ve attended an architectural photo shoot. There is a strange satisfaction in locating angles and fixing furniture… Traverse Academy. The project subject of the the aforementioned photo shoot is Traverse Academy. The firm I work for does a lot of schools—but this is the one I’m most proud … Continue reading On 7 things from last week (10/23/23)
