Hi, I'm Matthew Stublefield

A Random Image

When I retire (or get lots of money coupled with lots of free time, whichever comes first), I've kind of got this plan to open a bar. The furniture and decor will all be solid dark woods, with comfy chairs throughout and plenty of places for people to sit and talk. We'll have my favourite beers and coffees, great sandwiches, and the best potato salad in town. And in the back will be a small printing press where we'll turn out the work of local authors to line the bookshelves I hope will cover every wall of the pub.

Until that day, I'll settle for this, my little corner of the webiverse. Whether you stumbled upon this site through a mutual friend, a perhaps misguided Google search, or by some other extraordinary means, I'm glad you're here. Read a bit, and if you happen upon some inspiration, grab your pen and join the discussion.

Moving to the Library

Am I busy? Yes. But it’s also wonderful.

If you follow my Twitter you’ve already got a good idea what the last few days have been like. We’ve been booked solid, working or running errands all day and entertaining every evening, so we haven’t had a lot of downtime, let alone writing time. In the last three days I’ve found an hour to learn Evernote and forty-five more minutes to transcribe notes into it and play with organization schemas. I’m also learning/trying Remember the Milk as a task list and I’m liking it quite a bit better than anything I have tried before.
