About

The universe is mostly dark, cold, and silent. Our glorious exception, this joyful noise humans make, should be celebrated, recorded and shared. I’m telling stories and sharing neat things from New York City.

Browse the archives, always available in the right column, by category or date. I’ve covered music, science, the city, and a lot more.

To tell a story, share a link, or give feedback, please email me at thisjoyfulnoise@gmail.com.

Thanks. The world is a miraculous place. Keep your eyes open.
