Talking About Sports Teams
Pro sports teams with states in their names open the door for some confusion – but who does this apply to and how do sports journalists actually tackle it?

Using Marvis Pro
When I made my recent post on what apps I’m using for what purposes, I mentioned that I’ve been using Apple Music as my music service (as I have since the day it launched in 2015). But I neglected to mention an important app I use as part of that: Marvis Pro. There are things…

Some Thoughts on Blogging
I wanted my own website early on from my youth.

Coffee Setup & My Coffee Story
I started college not drinking coffee and graduated a coffee nut. I roast, grind, and brew my own coffee. Daily Brew I use a Technivorm Moccamaster Grand (15-cup or 60 fl oz) for my daily brew. I weigh out 108g of my beans the night before into my Baratza Encore and fill up the water reservoir…
