A snippet of the kind of features we publish at Ori (Ori Magazine): Well-reported, engaging narrative that brings readers places. So, where to next? ori-mag.com/pages/ori-prev…

Had the privilege to hop on the line with NPR affiliate KPCW Radio and the crew at The Mountain Life to talk Ori and where travel stories are headed in 2025 and beyond. Get to know us at Ori Magazine! kpcw.org/show/the-mount…

Oh man, just being made aware of the Star Player Rule in the NBA, this is kind of brutal? Players are already playing more games than ever, do we really need them to make an excuse to sit down every once in a while? Feels a little too gladiator-y to me. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

10 years of Iñaki. A testament to hard work, loyalty, and family. Los Williams are the sports story you need to know.

Sad news from Vox Media with virtual shuttering of Thrillist and layoffs at Eater. I’ve loved working with editors there and enjoyed many writers’ work on the platforms. These folks are rockstars. Hire them. thewrap.com/vox-media-layo…

Remembering that Thrillist also let a young journalist (me, formerly) write about Japanese 7Elevens without filter. Still a personal highlight. thrillist.com/travel/nation/….

Spent morning at subsidized public pool ($6) full of Medicare recipients then bopped over to public library to work (free) and even considered paying taxes early on free wi-fi. Checked out a book for fun. Remember, there’s no place for socialism in our country!

I know there are some growing pains here, but can we acknowledge this? 43,000 fewer cars in a day, city still standing. We CAN do this.

What a nice day to support independent creatives and have travel inspo delivered to your door. ori-mag.com/products/ori-m…

And just like that Issue 04 is fully assigned and Issue 05 is right on its heels. Good things coming, magazine and travel people! Ori Magazine coming in hot.

This is the kind of ski infrastructure we should be supporting.

Proudly trendsetting with this "laborious ski trend." When uphillers met mass media, a love story. Uphill, in the snow?! cnn.com/travel/uphilli…

No camera, but searing mental image: Two men, naked, jumping, and pointing excitedly from the edge of an airport onsen (hot spring) as military jets take off for training in Hokkaido, Japan. Had to be there.

He knows a thing or two…
