Last night, a new iPhone app tapped its way onto our radar screen—named, simply, Chattanooga. According to the app store listing, it is designed to deliver “all the major (and...
My oldest daughter is beautiful. I know I'm biased but she's not just beautiful by her adoring mother's standards. She's beautiful by society's standards. She has tons of brown hair, giant brown eyes and a gorgeous round face. She's the......
We have had a lot of rain storms lately, with plenty of 'funder' and lightning. This is the first time Etienne has noticed thunder, and the first couple of storms scared him quite a bit. Now we have this dialogue...

Driving down the road today, one of my new favorite songs came on one of the local country music stations. As many of you know, I’m about as patriotic as it gets. I get chills listening to this song every...
It’s week two of Summer of Taco™, and we felt we had to knock a few heavy hitters off the list straight away. Last week’s visit to Taco Rico proved both fulfilling and challenging, as we negotiated our official rubric...

Recently, my neighbor in Pittsburgh told me of a development firm in Pittsburgh, PA with brilliant mission statement, "we make money slow". At widgets & stone, where I work, our mission begins with "design the right things, design the things...
A fund raiser to benefit Chattanooga Room in the Inn, the event filled the Choo Choo ballroom with shoe lovers whose singular mission it is to help homeless women and their children get back on their feet. The fabulous crowd...
Over the past few months, I've been blessed to pick up a second full-time freelance client. It's a change from much of my freelance writing, but it is a welcome change, one that allows me to grow myself, my writing,...
This Saturday, the Chattanooga Futbol Club is playing their inaugural match, against Atlanta. I’d like to make some signs and I’m having trouble coming up with not-too-offensive anti-Atlanta soccer slogans. Can others make some suggestions?
Subjects I’m considering lampooning:
Atlanta’s urban sprawl
Atlanta’s...
I count at least three sites confirmed to have been created by other individuals or firms including: haveamint.com created by yours truly, vivabit.com designed by Cameron Moll and thecity.org designed by Jesse Bennett-Chamberlain. A twitter search might turn up more....

I'm extremely late on this, but here is the set list from my most recent concert, Dave Matthews Band at Vanderbilt Football Stadium. The show was amazing, even with the absence of legendary saxophonist LeRoi Moore. DMB played a few...
Lately Caroline has been reading to herself and I was able to capture it on video the other day. We of course think its super cute, but it might be only family members who hang in there long enough to...
Satchmo Signals and Real-Time Price Changes
If there is one thing a developer using Satchmo in a project is going to want to master, that one thing should be signals. Django has offered all of us a fantastic framework for notifying...
Our last article created a simple listener connected to Satchmo's cart_add_view signal, enabling us to interrogate a user or a user account to discover whether s/he is shipping items to a US or international address. In Part Three of our...
We're super excited to announce a unique educational experience for one day only, in Indianapolis on June 15. This is going to be an intense day of learning, sharing and growing. And hopefully we'll all go out for Mexican food...

Friends, I'm in New York teaching the Creation-Fall-Redemption-Restoration narrative using sustainable design and green building principles from Manhattan to New Orleans to Bogota to China at the World Journalism Institute. I walked over to the Bank of America building yesterday. It's...
What happens when the ball reaches the outfield off of an Atlanta bat?
