Today I heard from @handle that the next NLNet grant application deadline is in 4 days -- I also learned that this year they have a new category called "User Operated Internet". I got really excited about this because the last time I applied to the NLNet grant program, there wasn't really a good category for my project to fit under. But "User Operated Internet" is perfect!

I spent today throwing up a rough draft of a home page for my project. In the past I have called it Greenhouse, but I am thinking now I'm going to change the name to Server Garden, because the original thing that was going to be called Server Garden is now on hiatus.

Please take a look and let me know what you think! I know it has tons of issues, but I'm still interested to hear what folks think about it:

Coffee, birds, hearing, surreal, planes 

In one ear, I cannot hear low frequency sounds. This means that I often struggle to determine which direction such sounds are coming from.

This morning, I was sitting outside drinking coffee (okay, a coconut mocha antoccino) on my balcony and I heard an airplane presumably overhead. I looked up, though, and couldn't see any airplanes, only a bird, and for a moment, my brain decided that these airplane noises must have been coming from this bird.

This tiny, circling, diving and whirling songbird.

What if birds were just really, really, loud? What if they sounded like jet planes?
