I’ve had this idea since I turned 40 and never got around to it–collecting my favorite story, poem, song, and piece of art that I created in each decade of my life. I think why I never got around to it is I took the project a bit too seriously. So, I’m going to doContinue reading “Birthday Festschrift: First Decade”

KMRU
Birgit and I went to the Roter Salon at the Volksbühne last night to hear Joseph Kamaru perform his electronic mixes of ambient and instrumental sounds. It was in many ways an extension of our Forest Listening experiment. It was an intense, continuous listening experience for about an hour, and both Birgit and I feltContinue reading “KMRU”
Forest Listening
My colleague Birgit and I are working on a book about the promise (and problems) of monitoring forests from space.

And as I currently spend at least 15 minutes every day checking in with my favorite K-pop band(s) online, it was starting to get a little weird that I never brought it up on what is essentially a blog aboutContinue reading “ATEEZ”
Losing It

Global Metal
If you grow up in New Mexico, you love heavy metal. Or maybe you hate it. But you’re not going to feel meh about it. Me personally, I don’t just love metal: I consider it part of my birthright alongside killer sunsets and green chile. Metal is responsible for a lot of the major timeContinue reading “Global Metal”
