I ran for 20 years without listening to music, preferring instead to listen to whatever was going on around me, or my own breathing. I still prefer to run that way when I’m in a strange city doing road runs, but nowadays I’m all about the beats. I usually run with a combination of electronica, cadences, and some 80s stuff for amusement. I just discovered, however, a fantastic resource for runners looking for some new beats. Podrunner, offered by Steve Boyett, has been voted best podcast for a couple of years running (hah!) on iTunes. DJ Steve does fixed beat mixes that are geared to keep runners going. And going. And going.

For many years now I've left a trail of flecks across the Internet. Just begun novels; explorations of culture, music, writing, food, the future, mountains, long distances, shallow oceans, deep canyons; oddly-composed music; even more oddly-constructed poetry; impassioned editorial; strident analysis, and a slew of images, sounds, and scribbles. Most of this has passed into the aether, waiting only for some semi-sentient algorithm to pull it from obscurity twenty years hence. In the meantime, there is this lodestone, gathering what it can.
