So this is the first post I am making on the development of the myToolBox web application. These are just a simple set of tools to use along side other web applications. I am developing them for Arizona Homegrown Solutions to help solve some small little problems we are running into here and there. Right now it is not all that impressive since a lot of the development time has been spent learning javascript, php, and mysql. I knew them to some degree before due to my exposure making web applications in the Ruby on Rails platform, but not to the degree I know now. (more…)

Sunday, March 29th, 2009Well another successful Citrus Glean. We had about 14 volunteers and managed to fill up the whole U-HAUL trailer.

Friday, March 27th, 2009So today I met with the North Phoenix Action Group. Horse Help which is a non profit organization in Phoenix that uses horses as therapy for disabled people and troubled teens has opened up their facility to have Arizona Home Grown Solutions partner with them in turning a lot of their open and unused space into therapeutic gardening areas. This was the main highlight of the meeting and here are the meeting notes.
Seedballs and Mountain View Community Center
Saturday, March 21st, 2009Seedballs 101
So today I attended the, Seedballs 101 with Ruby Sheffer, at the Dolce Verde Solutions Hub. It was a very interesting class. For those who do not know, seedballs are made of clay, potting soil, and a variety of seed species that are all rolled up into little balls. The balls can vary from the size of peas, Coco Puffs, or Whoppers candy balls. They look so much like candy balls that I almost ate one.
