Coming soon: A Girl Called Gale
A bedtime story about a Wind who can't stop moving and, with no destination of her own, finds purpose in helping others reach theirs.
www.kickstarter.com
Here is a beautiful children's book that is really something I think should take off. If you missed out on his first book, don't miss out on this one. Kahle McCann's first book (The boy who was fire) is still one of my kids favorites. Still in pre-launch.

When a company says their staff have a combined 100 years of experience. That really doesn't mean hot to me. My kids have a combined 18 years of experience, it doesn't mean that I trust them to vote or drive a car.

If you've been waiting, don't wait anymore.
Unless you're sitting at a red light, then wait and put down your phone.🚦
FYI, Not my project but, 6 days left and almost 80% funded. This is only covering art and startup costs for a high quality children's book.

I can't say enough good things about, A Girl Called Gale by Marcus Kahle McCann. It hits so many points people feel in their bones about finding their place in this world and helping others.
See my pinned post for the link. It deserves more attention, repost and share this.

I think sometimes I don't want to admit when I use personal experiences as inspiration. Some others are very open about it.
I like how Marcus Kahle McCann creates beautiful stories from his.
Do you have an author that you admire in that way?

Just finished the book For a Handful of Feathers, by Guy de la Valdene. He has kind of a unique style, that makes me feel like I'm sitting around a fire pit in his backyard drinking beer with him while he tells me everything he knows about Bob White quail and habitat restoration.

So random Friday morning thought:
If we live in a simulation, and we create a simulation so perfect, it exactly models our reality.
How would we know that the simulation we "created" is not actually a view or bridge into the reality that created the simulation we live in?

Maybe I'm weird. But if I'm reading the news on Google news and I click on an article that has any type of paywall, or sign up to read the article, I immediately leave.
Like, I don't care if there is advertising but don't make me do something extra to read your article.

You will never convince me that Creep by Radiohead wasn't written by someone with a little bit of imposter syndrome. I know the official story, but it really takes a new meaning through that lens.

Found this little western banded gecko under a brick. I couldn't leave it in place because it would have been dangerous, so I made a new little home for it 20 feet away. It wouldn't leave my hand until its new rock house was in the right place.

Sourdough Saturday turned into sourdough Sunday. I wanted to see the difference between convection vs Dutch Oven. The top loaf cooked 10 minutes faster in the convection, vs the Dutch oven on the bottom loaf.
