As the empty Coke can sitting near my elbow sputters and pops—no doubt mocking me—it’s starting to sound like it knows what I know. In fact, the can may also know what I try to ignore.

Timbre #77: Move Us
Over the course of recent history, as the outside has pushed in on skateboarding and smooshed us between prefabricated boundaries, skaters have managed, for the most part, to giggle loudly and sidestep the literal and figurative roadblocks dropped in front of us—many times using the barriers to skate on, through, or over—evolving our movements as… Continue reading Timbre #77: Move Us

Timbre #72: Don’t Show Up
For quite a while—much longer than my memory stretches—I’ve admired a cute little saying from afar. I felt like it applied to me a little bit, but also, the slow and steady way that things of any significance happen. Whenever I’d hear it, I’d smile and whisper to my inner whisperer, “That’s us, man.” Dan… Continue reading Timbre #72: Don’t Show Up
