Community Development Includes:


1. Parenting and Education.  I think good parenting is teaching your kids how to live right and there is no clear bright line between raising them well and teaching them.

2. A new clothing paradigm as women move into the work force and stop being primarily paid for sex, sex appeal or "women's work."

3. Adequate nutrition via a paradigm other than "We assume you live in a household with a full-time homemaker, either your wife or mom, cooking for the entire family and memorizing all the health issues and special dietary needs of all members so you don't have to think too much about food."

4. Towns, neighborhoods, transit and other "urban planning" stuff, though I'm interested in giving pushback against the trend of big cities eating the world. My interests trend towards small town and rural development.

6. Environmental issues. You cannot develop a healthy functional community or society while ignoring the context of the larger natural world in which it occurs. A lot of my writing resolves both economic development AND environmental issues at the same time.

Pivoting a Website

The website Aberdeen Art and Music began as an effort to consolidate three older websites into a single website for purposes of trying to create a local walking tour as a tourist asset for this small town. It later took on a new purpose and I was tasked with updating the site to preserve and enhance the existing purpose while making room for new functions. The older websites were static sites that each corresponded to a printed brochure. The brochures and corresponding original websites were logically categorized by type of art: Murals, Critters and Urban Art (mostly sculpture). But much of this art can be found in close proximity in the downtown area, so I wanted to consolidate that information and enhance it to serve as an economic development tool for this small town. The intent was to support a walking tour via smartphone and begin phasing out the printed brochures while still supporting the existing brochures that were still out there and had the old URLs on them. In s...

L'Histoire

I'm basically a total fucking loser. I was one of the top three students of my graduating high school class, along with my Korean best friend who was number two and some guy who was number one. I had a raftload of impressive academic credentials for a high school student from the "backwater" state of Georgia, including State Alternate for the Governor's Honors program, a residential summer enrichment program for gifted students. That means in tenth grade, only two other people in the state of Georgia outperformed me (likely both were older than me) for applying to the program in a specific subject area and had one of them failed to be able to participate, I would have taken their place. I achieved that placement after somewhat flippantly choosing some subject or other (maybe journalism) as my area of interest because unlike most of the other gifted kids in my school, I didn't have some stand-out area of strength. I was someone doing well overall and it was essen...
