When people ask me what my favorite XYZ is, I usually just talk about a recent XYZ because I don’t spend time maintaining a life-long list of top XYZ – comparing my recent experiences with my past. But I should. Not so I can give polished answers to the next person who asks, but because it’s interesting and fun to see how my tastes and interests have changed over time.
This is a snapshot of my favorites as of today. I’ll maintain an up-to-date list on my About page.
