Yes, we are giant nerds.
But this is still one of my favorite additions to the basement. A little representation of one of my favorite movies.
Lightsaber made by The Saber Factory and it came out amazing. Great detail. Love the customizations.

The weekend has gotten away from me and I still have a few things I need to do this evening, so I am not expecting to get to write a newsletter this week. However, I do want to plug this new Oversize album, Vital Signs, that came out on Friday. It's very shoegaze/grunge-y, but with a nice balance of melody and heavier moments.

It’s now a song that makes me think about all I have right now, and how far I’ve come from being that silly kid running off to California.
I’m super happy with how it turned out and can’t wait to frame it for the office wall.
I updated my Misc. Recommendations post with some new things and made a few minor website updates.

I missed this Sunday (1994) release last year but it's so very much right in my wheelhouse. Listen: https://chorus.fm/share/alb...
I’m trying to spend my year thinking about how in ten years, that version of me, will be looking back on right now. Am I doing the things that make me happy? Am I living a life that I’ll be proud of? Am I being kind?
