Hi! I’ve been wanting to revamp my site for years, but some mandatory security updates have forced my hand, so now we’re in the middle of frantic unplanned unavoidable total website redesign (oops)!

Please excuse any quirks as I work on this in my copious free time.

The final trailer for the Super Mario Bros. movie dropped, and it looks like it might be the rare (only?) (did you like the Sonic movie?) video game movie that hits the important game notes for enjoyable fan service while also looking like a decent movie.

Our family is genuinely looking forward to seeing this one.

From the very pleasant small corner (seriously, just check out the comments!) of the internet that is author George Saunders’ substack, Story Club, answering a question about finding a mentor:

One of the things I’ve come to love about this Story Club community is its generosity. From where I sit, it feels like people show up here with the right attitude for any artistic endeavor, which is, “I bet there’s something for me to learn here.” This doesn’t mean that the person doesn’t already know quite a lot. But she has reverence for the importance and difficulty of the task and knows at some level that showing up in a curious, humble, friendly spirit, she’s more likely to return home with something of value.

If that’s not wisdom for approaching just about anything, I don’t know what is.
