I'm moving! After a wonderful 5½ years in San Francisco, I'm going to New York City, around the end of this month.
I'll be doing the Summer 2 batch at Recurse Center, starting July 5. If you're in the city, hit me up! (And please help me find a place.)

Started and finished What Remains Of Edith Finch last night. Outstanding experience, beautifully done.
