Hello, if you’ve just stumbled across this blog. 👋🏻 This is where I keep things that have held my attention. I’m a composer, podcast producer, writer, avid reader, web enthusiast, sci-fi fan, climate crisis try-and-solver, bookshop co-owner, and guy living in a remote place. I’ve got a lot of overlapping interests and will likely add fragments about a lot of them. This is my attention collection.
