I’ve done it again…found a new hobby to waste what little free time I have left. My latest venture is an attempt to have fresh herbs available at all times by taking advantage of an approach to growing called hydroponics. Instead of soil, this technology bathes the roots of the plants in a nutrient rich solution to optimize growth while minimizing, well, bugs.

I have an elaborate contraption circulating water on my balcony right now, but I may be foiled by the prolonged winter that seems to be plaguing the area.

I’ve begun restyling the site with a slick new look. While I have plenty of other chores on my plate, I’ve managed to waste yet another perfectly decent weekend hacking around with css, html, and Photoshop. At least the content from my iWeb site is back and soon I can actually get around to writing new entries other than self-referential site updates.

After much debate, I’ve bailed on iWeb and restarted the site with WordPress. Content to return shortly.
