KEXP 90.3 FM: A listener-powered, iconic radio station based in Seattle, known for eclectic alternative and indie music. Been ignoring the power these guys have for far too long.
Hermanos Gutiérrez - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) - Hermanos Gutiérrez performing live in the KEXP studio. Recorded June 1, 2025. It was this performance that finally got the hooks of Hermanos Gutiérrez into me, but also what finally had me hit subscribe to KEXP. They've been killing it with their guests for years tho.
Send to Kindle: A utility for sending web articles and personal documents directly to Kindle devices for offline reading. I got Christina her first Kindle and these links helped the "on-boarding process".
Google Play Books: A platform for purchasing and managing a digital library of ebooks and audiobooks. How does one go about converting their Google Play Books to a version they can read on a Kindle!?
Audible: An Amazon-owned service providing a vast collection of professional audiobooks and podcasts. I tied Christina to my Amazon account so she can enjoy the vast library I have built over the years.
The Book of Enoch & The Ark of the Covenant: A deep-dive interview with Dr. Jeremiah Johnston covering biblical archaeology and history. This podcast sparked an internal revolution and has fundamentally changed how I see the world.
Oliver Burkeman - Meditations for Mortals is about stepping into a more meaningful, productive, absorbing and energizing life – not later, but right here in the midst of the overwhelm, the distraction, and the anxiety-inducing news headlines. Oliver Burkeman is at it again. His book 4000 Weeks changed how I perceive time and what matters the most in life.

Gentlemint: A social curation site focused on gear, cars, and classic lifestyle interests. I found my password for this in 1Password while searching something else out, and was blown away to see the site is still kicking! It's "Pinterest for Guy Stuff".
KEEN Women’s Headout Hiking Boots: Waterproof, high-performance mid-cut boots designed for rugged outdoor terrain. I was shocked to see they don't make Tarhee for women anymore. So these were what we got Christina for those days when my photography will take us deep into the woods. But I need to get her a shoe stretcher.
