The Stack of Short Stacks

🥞

Each week, I pull together a Short Stack of the things that stood out – something I made, something I read or watched, an experience that left a small but noticeable impression in the week. Not a grand unifying theme, not a comprehensive recap. Just the bits that felt worth pocketing before the week slips away.

January 2026

In the January 16, 2026 edition of The Weekly Short Stack, I talk about jamming out with a collaborative music app, tinkering with vibe coding, and tensing up thanks to a movie and a book.
In the January 9, 2026 edition of The Weekly Short Stack, I ease back from the break, write on the reverse, and catch up on some critically-acclaimed movies of 2025.
In the January 2, 2026 edition of The Weekly Short Stack, I talk all about books, from keeping the MacBook closed, to a New Year's Eve visit to a book store, to comic book postcards, and to closing the book on 2025 – literally.

December 2025

In the December 26, 2025 edition of The Weekly Short Stack, I talk about blood donations, holiday cards, reading goals, and how homemade applesauce is the best thing ever.
In the December 19, 2025 edition of The Weekly Short Stack, I talk about comfort movies, public libraries doing what they do best, small personal wins, and the slow turn toward the end of the year.
In the December 12, 2025 edition of The Weekly Short Stack, I talk about celebrating a life cut short, celebrating two lives coming together, book clubs and pen clubs, a YouTube milestone, and debuting a short story (plus a piece on the writing process).
