I like a lot of things, and I enjoy sharing what I like with others. I think including a running and somewhat regularly updated list of the things I’m enjoying or thinking about these days is a nice thing to do.
This list of goodness was wholly inspired by Jason Burk.
So welcome to the list! It was last updated on January 28, 2022.
