A New Life on Some Old Windows

About 5 years ago, I think the year just prior to the 1st Thing-a-Day, I had my own February creative sprint in the form of, in part, the purchasing of all these old, enchanting windows that I just knew I’d

My creation for today was working on building a community website with a friend, specifically we were brainstorming the look & feel as well as the UX. A bit of a screen shot.

PAX Community Website – Site Map

One of my projects this month is creating new venues for self-expression for myself and others in my community. Today, I made some real progress towards that end. There is not much to materially show for it, unfortunately. But, I’ve
