Grape coffee
I’ve had a few different coffees from Traffic Coffee now (thanks to my buddy Scott), and it’s fair to say they’re unlike any other coffee I’ve tried (I’m looking at you, watermelon). They’re also some of my favorites. This one is the Lộc Rừng Grape Drink, and you can find the roaster’s product page here.…

Oiro Pena, Kiefer, Wyclef Jean, and more of my favorite albums from October 2026
October is almost over, but I’m still surprised to see all the Christmas stuff up in the stores. Almost as surprised as I am to be listing Wyclef in the title of this post. I guess that means the Christmas music will start soon too, but not yet, dammit. There is too much other good…

Biological War
Just finished reading Biological War by Annie Jacobsen. I enjoyed it (is that the right term?) as well as their previous book, Nuclear War.

Fall is here. It’s the autumnal equinox, and as if on cue, the weather is shifting drastically today. My run today felt like going through a portal. The leaves on the ground seemed to suddenly appear as if they had just fell overnight. It seemed fitting to have Pharoah Sanders (Harvest Time) and Alice Coltrane…

The Upcycled Self
I enjoyed reading Tariq (Black Thought) Trotter’s book. He’s easily one of my favorite artists ever, and I’ve listened to his music constantly since junior high. It’s crazy to learn about his life through these stories: his Dad murdered when just an infant, him burning down his home by accident when he was six, his…

Trust
Finished reading Trust by Hernan Diaz. I wasn’t sure what I expected, but it wasn’t this. A book (historical fiction/mystery) that is actually made up of 4 books written by different fictional characters central to the overall story (each book being roughly a quarter of the overall story). It seems disconnected after the first “book”,…
