Sage and Avacados
October 30th, 2008As it is the rainy day before Halloween it’s a good day to focus on my garden. Does anyone else to grow trees from their avocado pitts? Here is a resource for a few of the things you might be doing wrong / not doing. Look at those roots!
Check out today’s Yelp on ‘The Dry Garden’ in Oakland, CA. Written after I added two beautiful white sage plants to my collection this morning.
The new Google Phone actually Purrs!
October 24th, 2008Can’t have pet’s in your new apartment? No problem Google has you covered. The new T-mobile phone, the G1 offers state of the art SMS text messaging system and of course great internet access powered by PhindMe. This phone is $179.00 and requires a two year contract. Listen to this enthusiastic Public Radio Marketplace show where you can hear the purr feature and the phone features described in detail. The purr technology is described as ‘the biggest waste of memory’ that Kevin Pereira from G4TV ‘has ever seen in his life’, but it sounds so worth it for the cute companion factor. While the phone is in pet mode you can have your screen show fur, just like a real petable pet. The phone also shakes when it is petted. The use of Android technology Software development kit is freely downloadable on their website. This development project is described as an open handset alliance project and surely motivates and encourages development with its open source, all brains invited philosophy. Nice job!

Death of the Dreamweaver Designer?
October 13th, 2008Drupal Site CMS up and running
October 12th, 2008This week I turned Randallkeys.com into a large Drupal CMS for my artwork/resume display and programming practice. As I do not really need a CMS this large for just myself, I invite any companies interested in having one set up to contact me and I will promptly provide a quote. I also am programming the site to share the space and allow file uploads from others, basically for educational and freelance communication purposes between designers and clients.
Organic Gardening
October 9th, 2008A great permaculture film found by Julie an author over at our sister blog Culture of Permaculture.
In gardening news this week I built a worm bin, with a large file folder box. I followed the simplest video I could find by The CompostGuy. I am so glad to finally have one to help decompose the stuff in my 2 compost bins, faster. I planted onion bulbs, and Chinese cabbage or bok choy Cauliflower. I took out my squash. Although my squash the size of large babies were impressive, it took up too much gardening real estate and no one was crazy about eating my fried squash so it basically was wasting water and going straight to the recycle bin. My harvested radishes were sort of bitter as a salad ingredient after a while so I am glad to have new things planted in place of them.
Curse Client … a Curse?
October 9th, 2008Curse Client, or someone controlling my Curse Client just launched about seven versions of several programs at once like windows messenger and weird dialogue boxes, completely ending a great design zone I was in. It seems someone launched this ‘unsafe operation’ when I was not even playing wow or updating add-ons, like it was a wide open portal to my pc all the time. Curse Client is not safe so please beware and use it at your own risk. Nothing else seems wrong since I uninstalled it after windows shut it down so it could be worse. If anyone trusts another add-on manager for WOW I would love to know about it.
(More) Versions of the American Flag?
October 7th, 2008“Get that gold fringe off my flag!” people that have to go to court, take note and let us know if your rights as us citizens were denied in any way.
Could this really be true?
