When I started redesigning the blog, I expected it to look a little different when I got done. Too much to share with you and too little time. I&#8217;ll start writing and make it a gradual evolution of beautiful design.
Here&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here:

<p><span class="drop_cap">W</span>hen I started redesigning the blog, I expected it to look a little different when I got done. Too much to share with you and too little time. I&#8217;ll start writing and make it a gradual evolution of beautiful design.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here:<br />
- I learn and use <em>very</em> interesting technologies at the forefront of their development. This includes &#8216;<a href="http://www.green-technology.org/what.htm" target="_blank">greening</a>&#8216; our culture, computers/etc, construction, and business &#8211; I want to share what I&#8217;ve learned with you.<br />
- I have experience in the areas of construction, that &#8216;green&#8217; thing/movement, creative business systems automation, marketing, wellness, and progressive philosophical/spiritual thinking. What does this mean? I bring many unique perspectives into one voice.<br />
- I am here to lead and serve man&#8217;s return to nature&#8217;s embrace as our source of energy, inspiration, and creativity. Wow, how conceptual &#8211; what does this mean? <em>Somewhere in the process of getting all technological, we&#8217;ve cut ourselves off at the knees by disowning that we came from the Earth. </em>Let&#8217;s get our heads together and figure out how to embrace both, without destroying ourselves first.</p>
