Since I've switched formats for happiness posts, I've kind of missed sharing the small pleasures of life every week. So I've decided to share a list in the first Happy Post of every month. Little Joys: catching myself before falling into a frozen lake during a...
Well, we made it through February! I got through all the stuff I had to do this month, even if I only made it out by the skin of my teeth. As I write this, I've had a cumulative of ten hours of sleep over three days and I'm pretty exhausted. There's a never-ending to...
Lately, there's been a lot of talk, diagrams, and videos circulating the internet about the ideal body type over the years. Every decade of the 20th century had a very specific idea of what was beautiful on a woman, and back in the 20's, a very boyish body was all the...
One of my goals this year is to eat at 15 new restaurants in Baltimore City before my birthday in June. I realized that as often as I am in the city, I tend to go back to the same places I like and one of the great gifts of Baltimore is our delicious food. I want to...

One of the original things that inspired me to start my disposable camera installations was this post, where Matthew McVickar sent a disposable camera through the mail in a way that allowed postal workers to document its journey. I decided I would finally do it...

How did you celebrate Valentine's Day this year? I've never been one for the basic mushy stuff, but Joe invited me to come with him and his friends to The Philadelphia Experiment's 8th annual Heartburn event at the 23rd Street Armory. I really knew nothing more than...
