w00t!
So, as you can see from the new layout I've finally gotten around to doing some work for myself and build a new and
more useful site. There will be some ongoing work and lack of copy for a little while until I have time
to complete everything, but the plan is to have something that lasts at least a couple of years... at least from a
standpoint of functionality.
I say functionality because normally I would use my personal website for trying out some CSS or experimantal script,
and even though it would have some functions, it was nothing like an orchestrated blog with photo gallery or anything.
Now, I feel like the actual USE of the site is important and hope that I can actually get family and friends to use it
as a free place to upload and share photos.
Food, Culture… Brooklyn & Beyond
My friend Sara Hohn has started her own site, dedicated to
brooklyn eateries and culture as well as her travels. She's a great writer, cook and let's me stay at her place when
I'm in NYC.
Her recent trip to Belize sounds awesome, you should check it out.
Soul is Waterproof
Another friend of mine, New Orleanian Megan Milliken has started
writing for the site World Changing, and the name pretty much speaks for
itself. Their premise:
"that the tools, models and ideas for building a better future lie all around us. That plenty of people are
working on tools for change, but the fields in which they work remain unconnected. That the motive, means and opportunity
for profound positive change are already present. That another world is not just possible, it's here. We only need to put
the pieces together."
Megan's recent articles include: Chicago's Center for Green Technology,
America’s Breadbasket to Energy Provider,
Chicagoland Flower and Garden Show and
And Chicago said, "Let there be light.".
If it's green and/or has anything to do with New Orleans, this cajun knows what's up.
The New School
I am pleased to say that after much work, my wife's school Chicago Montessori
has finally found a new location to move into. We've been looking for quite a while, and I can definitely say that there are
not many buildings that can be schools that are also available. The ones that are vailable tent to need way more work than
we or any investor is interested in getting involved with.
