Books, films, photographs, music, websites, videos, tools, and ideas that have earned more than a passing recommendation.

Not a feed. A shelf that improves slowly.

Built to grow, contents always evolving.

mcglasson.com is the digital home of Bill McGlasson, his creative work, and artifacts of family history.

The site is intentionally small at the beginning. Its structure is durable; its contents will be added with care.
