- Tilth Plant Sale PurchasingBeing that we were so late in planting our seeds, it’s important to buy plants already sprouted! So here is my girlfriend and I at the Seattle Tilth early edible plant sale:
- Moving a TreeMy first tree move! It’s a weeping pussy willow and we found some people looking to get rid of it to make room for more vegetables through the lovely program “Freecycle”. It was quite an expedition but well worth. Thanks to the work of my two lovely assistants of course.
- Building a rooftop gardenPlanning out the building of a rooftop garden is fun. This week I got to work with the Outdoor Research facilities head honcho Dean Watt to get everything prepped and ready for this years spring gardening. Here’s a slideshow of some of the work we did. One thing I learned is that’s it’s wonderful to have spare building materials around to [...]

- BreathingBreathing. My practice of breathing has led me to more progression in my life than any other thing I’ve done in my days. Most people aren’t taught the importance of deep breathing and a concentration on active breathing growing up, and I was one of those people. It took me a few books and people I respected talking about it [...]
- Learning CantoneseIt seems my passion for language learning still holds true. And although Cantonese was never on my list of languages to learn it seems stupid for me to not learn it while working with native Cantonese speakers. I am at an extremely basic level right now and currently have the conversation built up to: Zou San (pronounced Jhoe San) – Good [...]
- UnlearningIn a conversation about unlearning the other day I realized how essential this capability was for the evolution of our society. Strikingly. Especially today. The main cause for my concern is how much information we’re feeding on, digesting and making room for. And the only reason I think it’s “we’re feeding on” rather than “being fed” is that I’m not sold [...]
- StretchingMuscles and joints, tensions and stresses. A stretch is both splendid as a concept and as an action. It has taken my heart for many reasons. In brief, it deserves my first ode for making oneself more limber, adjustable to the ebbs and flows of everyday life and able to master daily chores in an elegance that turns the mundane [...]

- Adding a Wordpress Plugin to a non-Wordpress PageMany times you’ll find you or a client have a blog in the ‘/blog/’ directory (also known as the Wordpress root directory) and you’ll have the rest of the site in main directory ‘/’ What if you then want to take advantage of the spectacular capabilities of Wordpress on your main index page?? Well here you have it. First you’ll want [...]
- Link Page TemplateI don’t often use the link or “blogroll” feature of Wordpress, but when I do I want to dedicate some space for it. Making it a page instead of just a sidebar widget. To do this you need to create a template to select from ‘Edit Page’ (the right hand sidebar of the page). The key code in the whole matter [...]
- Illustrator CS4 Scripting – Layers to JPEG or PNG24I looked far and wide for a good fix for this, but I couldn’t find anything working other than misc adobe documentation. Which is thankfully well delivered! This script will go through all of your open documents in your Illustrator program. It cycles through an entire document, copies each layer, pastes it to a new document, saves the document as a [...]
