Hello.
I live in the city of Toronto. A lot of people know me as Jeeves.
I enjoy collecting and creating evocative experiences, words, and visuals.
I also like to laugh occasionally.
I am fascinated by many things, including: the future, forests, art, stories, jazz, food, words, photographs, economics, development, urban spaces, fog, decent beer, communication, typography, journalism, minimalist but cheerful design, journeys, and the Internet.
I’m glad you’re here;
let’s play together —
I don’t mind getting lost.

Whenever you pick up a morsel of food on the end of your fork, you’re making a political statement about what kind of world you want to live in. There’s a story behind how that food got to your plate. You’re saying how you believe agriculture should work, how we should interact with the environment, not to mention all of the social and cultural aspects of food.
‘Don’t sit still, do something!’ That’s become a kind of tyranny, and drives us into a tunnel of constant busyness, distraction, and acceleration, so we end up skimming the surface of our lives rather than living them.
For the first eight years of our marriage, [Michelle and I] were paying more in student loans than what we were paying for our mortgage. So we know what this is about.
And we were lucky to land good jobs with a steady income. But we only finished paying off our student loans—check this out, all right, I’m the President of the United States—we only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago.
President Obama in North Carolina today on why Congress has to act to prevent interest rates on student loans from doubling (via barackobama)We are not individuals who form relationships. We are social animals, deeply interpenetrated with one another, who emerge out of relationships.
Whenever I start talking about this, scientists get very nervous.
Jonathan Schooler ‘The decline effect and the scientific method’ by Jonah LehrerA brain scan may reveal the neural signs of anxiety, but a Kokoschka painting, or a Schiele self-portrait, reveals what an anxiety state really feels like. Both perspectives are necessary if we are to fully grasp the nature of the mind, yet they are rarely brought together.
