Rising Tide – 2019 Week 19

Welcome back to Rising Tide, the weekly digest of things I’ve discovered or been into this past week and consider worth sharing. Enjoy!


1. Did you see any MET Gala coverage? For background on this year’s theme, read Susan Sontag’s Notes on “Camp.”

2. The Great American Rail Trail has been released! Here’s a cool Ohio-focused take on it.

3. In case you didn’t already love REI enough, check out this story about Mighty Finn, the son, and his dad, Ethan, who happens to be the manager at our local REI store here in Cleveland.

4. Myth Busters’s Adam Savage on “Great Tools, Great Projects, and Great Lessons”

5. Designing a “Green” Bulkhead

7. And here are some tunes:

Well, I think that’s it for this week! Until next time…
