why this blog?
Years ago I realized the best information comes from others–personal blogs, discussion forums, word of mouth–not from traditional news sources. Since then, I’ve been writing to share back.
It’s so much easier to judge other people’s work and ideas than it is to create something of your own and put it out into the world.

what’s patchwork and pebbles?
When I started this blog, my main hobbies were quilting (patchwork) and bouldering (pebble wrestling). I’ve since added an eclectic variety of topics.
