White Noise
A free, weekly missive about books📚, behavior💃, and the brain🧠
White Noise contains an amalgam of fictional prose and, nonfictional insight derived from my indiscriminate reading, listening, conversing, thinking, and real-life experiencing. I read like I invest: I seek out diverse, undervalued assets that will compound over time. My musings are a reflection of this indiscriminate, voracious intellectual consumption. These writings represent my attempt to make sense of the content I consume and thoughts that give me pause in today’s information deluge. Putting pen to paper elucidates the what, the why, and the how of things. Hmms and ahhhs are good.

Innocently Macabre

Every story ever told really happened. Stories are where memories go when they’re forgotten. If you've got eyes and ears in the right places, you're likely to come across rumours of a man who will find these memories. He’ll go off a-hunting, foraging for the stories you’ve forgotten. I bring them home and show the world, distilling them into pretty little glass vials for you to peruse the horrors and wonders of the cosmos. Take a look. Have your pick.
