About

I'm Darby Jones. I write about the things that are quietly going right, the things that aren't, and whatever my boy-girl twins did this week.

Tech, energy and medical miracles. Fatherhood fails. Absurd true stories from Greece, from hitchhiking, from a life that keeps handing me material.

I used to publish this on Substack. I don't anymore, and I wrote about why. Short version: I'd rather own the building.

This is Darb Nation. It's a ridiculous name. I love it.
