We're officially in a new year (resolution season), so it's time for an update with 5 helpful strategies I've been trying for the past few months. If you haven't read about my window, do that first for context. #adhd #gtd #resolutions
Several years ago, a neighbor kid kicked a football and shattered a small basement window. We were a family of six living on a teacher's salary at the time, so I boarded it up, thinking I'd get to it someday. The frame was rusted shut. I couldn't fix it. 1/

Pilot G2 0.7 was an amazing pen in 2004. Does it hold up to the Sharpie pen in 2026?

Move over, "Is it Cake?" The new game is "Is it Needlessly Enriched with Protein for Marketing Purposes?"

Airbnb's policy change about cleaning requirements is a good thing. We stayed at one where the host left a 2-page check out list, including which products to use when mopping the floors. Traveling with a family of 6, we want to keep our guest rating up, so we did it. 🙃

Arnold Friberg gave me body image issues. In this essay, I will
hardly ever get to sail across the sea shirtless with cool leather bracelets anymore smh

I know some dads go all out with the pumpkin carving thing, but if I make a jack-o-lantern it's basically an excuse to harvest and roast the seeds.

The Primary program is the best Sunday of the year. Partly out of relief because everything leading up to it is utter chaos.

In local news today, a pastor and a chiropractor were both arrested for unrelated sexual abuse charges. Blame these men, but also blame systems and procedures that give abusers private access to potential victims. There's no reason they should have that opportunity in 2026.

In healthcare, pastoral care, and teaching, nobody should be alone in a room with someone else without a witness. Bringing an advocate into a private conversation should be the norm. Anyone in a position of trust who refuses this does not deserve your trust.

I'm already seeing AI holiday ads. Something about the combination between AI slop and sleigh bells is particularly gross. Companies, if you want me to stop buying your stuff, this is the way to do it.

Hot take: Frank Lloyd Wright was good at evolving our idea of what a house could be. But he was not great at building durable, functional houses.

Salt Lake billboard culture is wild. Now I need some plastic surgery and a house full of luxury blankets.

My nephew noticed me furiously texting with a friend as we analyzed the music during #generalconference. He said, "Oh yeah, my cousins do that during football games." At least I'm not on Kalshi betting on how many aug 6th key change transitions we'll hear in the 10:00 session.

My friend can choose to remain anonymous or not for this story, but he's a music geek in the very best way.

Conference is cool in person, but I can't just eat the whole time like I do at home. #generalconference #energycrisis

Shrink-wrapped Jesus wearing a Jesus necklace. Each dying mall is an immersive absurdist art installation.

Every word of warning about the societal evils of gambling can also be directly applied to venture capital. But y'all aren't ready for that conversation. #GeneralConference

"This is the Christ" is simply masterful. We remember the name of James E. Faust in association with it, but don't forget the powerful contributions of Jan Pinborough and Michael Moody. Both have shaped the church's musical culture for decades. #GeneralConference

I won't be mean-spirited about any of the music in #GeneralConference. That's never the point. Because of their prestigious reputations, the Tabernacle Choir and BYU (when applicable) deserve and can withstand some analytical review. I'll never critique volunteer guest choirs.
