‘I will build you a shrine’⇢

For the month of September, I’m donating my RSS sponsorship spots to St. Jude.


The history of St. Jude is quite interesting:

As a young man, Danny Thomas had a simple goal: to entertain people and be successful enough at it to provide for his wife and family. But work wasn’t easy to come by.

As he and his family struggled, his despair grew. He wondered if he should give up on his dreams of acting or find a steady job. He turned to St. Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes. “Show me my way in life,” he vowed to the saint one night in a Detroit church, “and I will build you a shrine.”

September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month⇢

For the month of September, I’m donating my RSS sponsorship spots to St. Jude.


In May of 2009, my wife I watched helplessly as our six month old son was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.

We didn’t have a lot of time to process the life-shattering news. Before we knew it, Josiah was undergoing surgery.

RSS Sponsor: Claye — The Weirdest Album You’ll Hear All Year⇢

Claye is an independent experimental pop album about the last thirty seconds of your life. It was created similarly to the way that many of your favorite apps were made: just one guy alone in his apartment with some computers and a copy of OmniFocus, trying to make something great.

If you’ve never heard Claye before—you probably haven’t—I’d suggest listening to these songs to start:

  1. Butter
  2. Weird
  3. Mouse Trappe

Once you’ve got the hang of it, give the whole album a try from start to finish. You can listen to Claye on Apple Music, Spotify, or buy it directly from the musician himself.
