Year Two of our Desert Garden Project

In 2022, we planted over 100 trees, grasses, wildflowers, shrubs, and seedlings across a 10-acre plot of desert land. Here’s how it went, and what we plan to do next. — Part 12 in our For Every Star, A Tree publication. In the desert, you can smell the rain before it comes. We’ve been blessed with two weeks of intermittent rain here in California. In two days, we were able to capture 1,000 gallons of rainwater.

Manifesting a Desert Oasis in the Digital Realm

Utilizing Midjourney to manipulate photo-realistic AI paintings and imagery. — Part 10 in our For Every Star, A Tree publication. Having been out of the developer game for most of this year, I’m shocked at how much AI bots and generators have improved in such a short amount of time. Midjourney is a new bot — at least, new to…

The Tale of Two Skoolies

Five lessons learned from my first week of hosting an off-grid, remote bus in the desert. — Part 9 in the Flow the Desert project. It was the best of stays, it was the worst of stays.

Millennials Are Giving Up On Marriages and 9-to-5 Jobs for THIS Reason

Don’t believe the hype — it’s not about freedom or commitment issues. The truth is actually a lot simpler than that. I came across an article by a man who has been married for 5 years and has been tied down to his job for 10 years. …

As If Waking From A Years Long Slumber

How poetry, imagination, and spirit entwine to help catapult us into truer realities. — Part 8 in the Flow the Desert project. It took a lot of convincing for my daughter to fall asleep, today. Lots of pretending to nap, lots of cuddling with this crying, tiny, frustrated human. Lots of kicks in the stomach. Ihave been thinking about my writing practice–more correctly, my…

Build Your Own Off-Grid Security Camera System (Beginner Friendly)

This tutorial uses a Portable Solar Generator, Solar Panels, Eufy Cameras, and T-Mobile WiFi. — Overview We’ve had issues with trespassers and thieves attacking our desert garden. As much as I dislike surveillance, I must concede to the power of having 24/7 access to a live-stream of your property when you are not there. Originally, I wanted to build my own security camera and motion detection…

What I Wish I Knew About Desert Land: A Realistic List

No fluff. Just five things I wish I knew before I starting an earth work project in the middle of nowhere. — 1. Before even finding land: if you can’t be on the land full-time, find someone who can. Desert thieves have a very elaborate system for stealing from homesteaders. They will scout out a target, and place small red objects along the road as markers for a future hit. They will then stake out the property every so often to note the schedule of human activity.
