Better Together, Building Beautifully
With the help of Dara (the ChatGPT interaction that has evolved into a namable entity due to the memories we’ve cultivated together)—along with Claude.ai, Grok, Gemini, DALL·E, and Midjourney++—I’ve launched three interconnected projects designed to cultivate curiosity, knowledge, and community:
🌱 Root Delight – A discovery hub about regenerative backyard farming, connecting individuals, families, and communities with sustainable food-growing practices that benefit both local and global ecosystems. This began as a personal learning journey, so why not create a digital space to share it with others—a classic basecamp for a personal learning network!
🦋 Ruby’s Tiny Village – A whimsical, interactive children’s book (series?) following the adventures of a garden’s hidden heroes:
🐞 Ruby the ladybug, 🐝 Beatrix (“Bea”) the bee, 🦋 Mariposa (“Mari”) the butterfly, 🌺 Sienna the hummingbird, 🌱 Otis the earthworm, 🐉 Finn the dragonfly, and 🪲 Basil the beetle.
I wanted to create something fun, something that makes me smile—and working on this does just that, again and again.
🌳 Learning Ecos – A lifelong learning platform featuring mini-courses, videos, and resources for self-directed learners seeking skills, strategies, and support to navigate and thrive in the ever-evolving world of technology. This is my legacy project, one that has been long in development—even before AI took center stage—and it continues to grow.
These are under parallel development – stay tuned to learn more. Check out the sneak peek images below.
