I abandoned my iPhone for a $90 flip phone. Life's never been better. The decision frustrated my group chats and made texting a nightmare. It was worth it.

i still keep my iphone, which i use on wifi for imessage group chats. but when i'm out of the house, i feel untethered, and it's lovely

at first it was hard, but i quickly realized that i simply *didn't need* all of that stuff.

instead of spotify, i download music, and enjoy silence more often. instead of maps, i write directions on the back of my hand. sometimes i get lost.

howdy. i abandoned my iphone for a nokia flip phone a few months back.

for a long time i held off on making the decision because of a few things i thought i couldn't give up --- spotify, google maps, whatsapp, group texting -- etc.

The story behind San Francisco's bizarre, stomach-flipping hairpin turn An SF bus' signature, stomach-flipping turn involves a swerve across up to six lanes of traffic. Its story traces back to the 1800s.

just pubbed what might be my favorite SFGATE article i've ever written, a hyperlocal deep dive into the 133 year mystery of the sharpest turn in the muni system, which requires six lanes of traffic and its own dedicated traffic signal. my latest:

An elusive California mammal has just been photographed alive for the first time Until last year, only one California mammal species had never been caught on camera. A group of Bay Area researchers just shared the first photo of it.

Until last year, there was only one known mammal in the state of California that had never been captured alive on camera. I spoke to one of the young naturalists who photographed it.
