I live in metro Detroit. I work in Lansing, around Michigan, and wherever else a project might take me.

I like making things. Follow my video production experiences over at Tell Stories, watch me risk life and limb trying to make things grow in The Ferocious Gardener, or scroll down to see what other shiny things have caught my attention.

“The official guide for 80 million gardeners and a staple on seed packets reflects a new reality: The coldest day of the year isn’t as cold as it used to be. So some plants that once seemed too vulnerable to cold can now survive farther north. It’s the first time since 1990 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has updated the map and much has changed.”

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there’s free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."
