35 Simple Health Tips

Sometimes I feel inundated with lists of advice, and this one is almost too long... But it all feels reasonable and doable. I probably just need select items littered around on Post-It notes instead of a scrolling screen. / via Tim Bornholdt

Paper Mono

Not only is this monospaced font super nice, the overview page is filled with excellent details (movable vector points, magazine sample pages turn). Plus they've baked in a great set of alternate characters. / via Kyle Johnston

Phoebe Bridgers Sound Check

After reading other accounts and Scott Boms' latest Through Lines, I lament not catching Phoebe Bridgers when she rolled through Ohio in September. It sounds like a phenomenal experience. My hope is she extends the tour for another round in the States. This three song sound check will serve as a salve either way.

Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim on You Can See Everything

I saw their movie this weekend and left saying, "Maybe I'm not a Nathan Fielder guy." But this spoiler-filled discussion after a screening makes me think, maybe I am a Nathan Fielder guy — I just don't like the character he plays. Their insight helped me appreciate the film even more.

Also of interest: 1.) PBS Newshour's segment, particularly the perspective of Alissa Wilkinson. 2.) Production company To Be Formed's other projects. (The latter found through this post about type.)

Maggie Rogers – Light On (La Blogothèque)

La Blogothèque's live recordings are excellent in general, but this one is extra excellent. I've played this video 10 times so far this week to bask in the goodness.

The Chapters of Your Life

This started as a presentation about intent and photography that my good friend Erik turned into a short film as a birthday surprise during the pandemic. It’s heavy, but I like to think in a good way.

My old website

I refuse to throw anything away (digitally at least). Here’s my old site cobbled together with spacer gifs and tables.

My name’s Chris, that’s Edie, and this is a place where I store things on the internet.

My goal with all this is to remember things, but also try and understand the patterns of life (That’s the grand idea — it’s usually just kind of ordinary, and that’s okay too.)

In my spare time, I devise schemes to create more spare time.
