Site Updates/Log

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4/20/25 - "Fawn" by Tom Waits added to currently listening, pushing Ed Askew into formerly currently. Tom Waits comes and goes from my listening life, and with a new friend reigniting the love, this song has taken hold of my mind for now.
Added a sidebar button for "formerly currently" so it isn't as easy to miss. Home page redux is due soon.

4/15/25 - Struggling to the find the time for all the updates I want to make here, but I found a chunk of spare time today. As I sat soaking in the sun, I did the following:
Added new "Oak Gall Ink" subpage to "One Tree." I didn't have time to flesh it out, but I am excited to share more about this project soon — the first batch of ink is starting to look nice!
Moved the sources on "One Tree" to the main page.
Removed broken links from "Animals" as I haven't had time/drive to flesh out that page yet.
Responded to some incredibly, kind and inspiring messages on the "Guest Book." Feeling very good about this space and those that are drawn to it. Looking forward to fostering meaningful connections with these people and more (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

4/12/25 - Memories of Wind and Fire -

Spring winds bring memories of a distant autumn.

The fire licks with a warmth reminiscent of past gatherings. New faces alight from the flames. Flowers hide from the full moon, awaiting the warmth of a new sun.

My company is new, but the feelings are old. Year after year, the winds of time bring change, and I, a fledgling still earning my wings, ride the currents and thermals to new horizons.

  4/9/25 - Added a home button (lighthouse) to the "log / site updates" page.
Added a progress report on my oak gall ink making to "One Tree." I am having a blast with this project and I am excited to share more in the future!

  4/6/25 - Set "Days Since Last Surf" back to zero! Finally made the adventure 6 hours to a wave that has been on my bucket list for some time. Got skuked with microscopic waves but had so much fun messing around in them, trimming along rivermouth walls that bent into themselves, hiding from the giant bald eagle that was patrolling the lineup. Incredible day and adventure.
Ed Askew was on repeat the entire trip along with Michael Hurley (RIP) and A. Savage. Added "This Is The End" to 'currently.' I connected with it in a really special way this trip so it got the nod over 'Moon in the Mind.' This section looped in my mind as I stood on the sandbar, waiting for the waves, "..but this is the end, the story's not over.." Give it a listen.
Added link to this 'log / site updates' page so others may see it ... for now.

  4/1/25 - Cleaned code on Guest Book page. Also somehow fucked it up even more. Mobile was gonna get better but is maybe worse so I give up on that for now.
Added Lighthouse home button to Guest Book. Doesn't show up on mobile because of course it doesn't

3/31/25 - Added Neil Young's "Old Man" to formerly currently. Reminds me of my father — a great thing.
Added lighthouse to a few pages. Work in progress to have it replace home button on all pages.

3/30/25 - Increased readability and added home button on "formerly currently."
"Man of Oil" by Animal Collective added to "currently." AnCo is the quintessential spring music. Gets me feeling like I am a flower ready to burst through the dirt. "Doggy" was the first song of theirs I ever heard. Thank you to the one who brought that song into my life.
Stoked to update and add after a weekend of excitement and adventure with dear homies.
