It’s Bandcamp Friday for those who celebrate!
Our geothermal wells are drilled! Nine hours of house-shaking, ear-splitting noise later and we have two 300 foot deep wells ready to be connected into the house.

Adventure Journal #38 hit my mailbox today. If you enjoy the outdoors at any level, good writing and great photography, then I can’t recommend it enough. A print magazine is such a joy and an escape from technology (he posts to his blog 🤪).
Finished reading: Montaigne by Stefan Zweig 📚
I was hoping for more philosophy in this, but I think it would pair well with a book of Montaigne’s essays to give insight to Montaigne’s thinking. (I heard of the book via Ryan Holiday’s newsletter and the links above are to his bookstore.)
Year in books for 2024
Finished reading: Polostan by Neal Stephenson 📚
Finished reading: The Place of Tides by James Rebanks 📚
One of the best books I read this year.
Finished reading: Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson 📚
I’m glad I reread this before diving into Wind & Truth. There are a lot of details, especially in the last 200 pages or so, that I had forgotten. (📚💙)
Finished reading: At Work in the Ruins by Dougald Hine 📚
I’m going to need to let the ideas from this book marinate for a while, then revisit the book. A lot of what Hine writes resonates with me, but also challenges my long held views of science. There’s a lot to think about here … (📚💙)
Wind and Truth launch day! My local bookshop had signed copies. I have ~100 pages to go on my re-read of Rhythm of War, then I’ll dive in to this. 🪐📚💙
