Fresh Food Feels Good

Submitted by Steve Oliver on August 13, 2008 - 12:48am
I eat for the feeling.  Of course I eat for the taste, but more for how it makes me feel.  The energy I have, the clarity I have.  Fresh food always makes me feel good.

Holy shit!  What a hair-pulling day with PHP... whew!  With Ryan's help, I got the "Other Styles in this Collection" view (block) working, but even with his expertise, I still don't know why Views is throwing foreach() warnings on my Styles. I'm proud of the new Del Mar Housings site about to be rolled out...excited about the UCL redesign, and happy to be moving forward on circatree.com.

Highly capable tree

Submitted by Steve Oliver on August 10, 2008 - 8:02am
I was writing for circatree - the mission - and came up with the words 'highly capable' to describe the websites we deliver. So I googled highly capable. Then I googled highly capable tree.

Marty motivated me today. He said Just do it. Just do the site or the network that I raved about re: Sezio. Just do it. Then I read this article on a couple of art collectors who don't even have anything to say about the art they collect - thousands of pieces shoved into a one-bedroom apartment, just because! And I'm in an little box of a dwelling now - wow, how I've moved. :) But I feel comfortable and supported, indeed I am, living on a golf course in a nice house with a good family. I practiced the chromatic scale tonight after the gym - worked my hand after working my legs.

I AM (YES)

OK, Well tonight I've been really thinking about my living situation again - I'm drawn to SD for the summer time perfection and really enjoy the people I'm with: friends, family, business associates. I'm inspired by the art and architecture, the beach, the grass. I've been feeling lonely in this limbo, though. What should I do? Who am I being? I'm being free and easy, yet at the same time very hard working and disciplined.
