About

Three Things started on Substack in December 2020 under the name Gonzoland, because I have an obsession with Hunter S. Thompson. But after a couple of years of evolution, I've discovered that people love pithy (and that most people thought I was referring to the Muppet). So the name change makes a promise to you: no matter what I write about, it will come in a set of three. We're all busy and all have 500 other items to read, so I won't waste your time. Get in, make you laugh, make you think, then get out.

I consume a lot of media and started Three Things as something of a justification for all of the time I spend vacuuming up books, movies, music, and television. If I can share the best with you, it won't be for naught. I'm a contrarian at heart so my tastes favor outliers over popularity, thought-provoking over surface-level. You'll discover pretty quickly if I'm your cup of tea.

In 2024, I introduced a premium subscription called Super Friends. These magical people get a personally curated playlist each month (and I must say, if I excel at anything, it's music selection), and an extra post each week called Smart Things. You can check out a couple of those to get a feel for them.

More will come in the months ahead!
