Storytime is a series of brief videos focused on a single idea relating to my work and/or personal life.
Something is killing untold numbers of deer where I live. The mystery was recently solved. This story first appeared in my newsletter Ready for Rain.
On most Tuesdays, I share a story from my life on Orcas Island and a recommendation for something I love. I'm interested in how to design work and home for lifestyle, livability, and fluffy dogs. Learn more.

We see whales from time to time, but this is the first time I’ve been able to use my phone and the scope to get good photos and videos.
My goal was not only to see into the distance but to take photos. This turned me onto an idea called digiscoping, which combines phone photography with telescopes and spotting scopes.
The longer we live on Orcas Island, and at the mercy of ferries, the more we learn to optimize. It’s normal to visit the mainland as a day trip. You take an hour-long ferry ride over, run errands, and come back on the ferry. The question becomes: what can you get done between ferries? If you plan poorly, you might waste hours waiting for the next ferry. This is where optimization matters most.
