I am a designer that fell into manipulating computers. In previous lives I did After Effects and grip work, agency design work, and worked as an apprentice machinist.

My wife is also a designer and is an ambitious gardener and naturalist. She shares her work on her website:

We are racing towards ejecting ourselves from capitalism to farm and live out the rest of our lives in harmony with nature. In 2024 we purchased 50 acres to start that journey.

I'm not much of a writer, so rather that committing to producing a traditional gemlog, I've opted to record my monthly accomplishments and any small thoughts I've had in a more concise form:

The Unsettling of America by Wendell Berry is the most important book you'll ever read.

Understand that the body
Is merely the foam of a wave,
The shadow of a shadow.
Snap the flower arrows of desire
And then, unseen,
Escape the king of death.
And travel on.
The longest journey you will take in your life is from here [points to head] to here [points to heart].
