As someone with #ADHD, the addition of #generativeai into products is a game changer. It's helping me network at work, be more productive if/when coding, spending time on articles that are more interesting, and giving me starting points for emails, bullet points, and much more.

My view as I enjoy my morning coffee and reading about Druid magic. There is definitely magic in this world in which we live.

I’ve wanted a food dehydrator since I was a kid!

For my first run I dehydrated ginger to make ginger powder for my smoothies. It turned out very well! Next up is drying herbs I grow along with fruit (that I… https://t.co/DYobjGTR4z

Sometimes the path we are on becomes muddy. At those times, it’s good to stay in the far left or right of the path. Better footing can be found there until the path clears a bit.

No matter which part you’re on, if… https://t.co/oMZwsqGST0

New plant babies on the way!

Yesterday I started two trays: one Heirloom Butterhead Lettuce and the other Deer Tongue Lettuce, both using coconut coir as the growth medium. Testing the heating pad to help with… https://t.co/ArH7u7oclR

My little broccoli microgreens from @hamama_greens are getting bigger! Almost time to peel off the top. First the roots need to establish a bit more.

Much more on the way!

Dumpster diving FTW!

I've been waiting for a specific raised garden to come on sale... Well, this morning on my walk I passed a house under construction. From across the street I spotted what looked like a cabinet… https://t.co/SPLk7UaSTv

My first batch of compost has begun! I started by adding my food waste, then added the yard waste, next I added the compost starter, and finally added water and gave it a tumble.

I look forward to seeing it… https://t.co/Cx6y0ULe1g

Movie night with Virginia. She found the highest seat in the house. Palamee, as usual, decided Dad wasn’t as much fun as watching anime and chatting with friends on FaceTime, though she sang a different tune earlier… https://t.co/hiI0GvIAaJ

My home gym: a collection of kettlebells from 50 pounds to 10, and a 15-pound steel mace, which is a lot heavier than it seems! Also included a bike with indoor bike trainer not seen here 😃
