Here With Ron


What I'm Doing Right Now

Released my first song

I cowrote and played the piano on a song with another Salt Lake musician Scott Lippitt. Give it a listen.

Daily Writing

Alongside my recent commitment to release a piece of music and writing every month, I wanted to push myself to publish some form of writing everyday, as a way to develop and iterate ideas. I'm hoping it also turns into a way to meet other thoughtful people who are pursuing interesting questions and ideas. Feel free to follow along.

Building this site

Derek Siver's writing has been a big influence on me over the years. I finally decided to take his advice and build a website from scratch. I'm slowly tinkering with html layouts, css styling, and overall page structure/content.

I have a new hobby... falling

I've always loved the aesthetics of skateboarding, but aside from a brief foray with a longboard over a decade ago, I've never pursued it further. This year I'm on a sabbatical from long-distance running, and I figured I wasn't getting any younger, so I thought, why not now? A month in, I'm starting to get my wheels off the ground, while also accumulating a respectable collection of scrapes and bruises.

Building instruments/effects pedals

I want to be able to build unique physical instruments and effect pedals by hand. So the last couple months have been filled with learning about soldering, wiring diagrams, and pedal kits.
