I’ve always enjoyed design and illustration, especially when I can put it to work for our own little business.
This is the latest project for DinoPuffs: a new set of cards that will go home with our Silkie customers. One side makes it easy to leave us a review, and the other points new owners toward the DinoPuff Silkie Group, where they can share their birds, ask questions, find useful information, and keep up with what we’re doing.
I wanted them to feel like us rather than generic business cards, so I went with the hand-drawn, slightly goofy DinoPuff style and had some fun with the artwork.
Another small project checked off the list and off to the printer!!!

This isn’t just coleslaw. Cabbage, red onion, garlic, ginger, peppers, carrots, turmeric and other plants provide a huge variety of bioactive compounds beyond their vitamins and minerals. Red cabbage contains anthocyanins, onions provide quercetin, turmeric contains curcumin, and ginger provides gingerols. These compounds interact with antioxidant, inflammatory and cellular signaling pathways throughout the body.

Just as important is the fibrous plant material itself. We can’t completely digest many of these complex carbohydrates, so they reach the colon and become substrates for our gut microbiota. Bacteria ferment certain fibers and produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as acetate, propionate and butyrate. Despite the name, these aren’t “fat” in the everyday dietary sense. They’re small organic acids produced by microbial metabolism. Butyrate is particularly important because it serves as a major energy source for the cells lining the colon, while SCFAs more broadly participate in gut-barrier integrity, immune signaling and metabolic regulation.

The point isn’t that coleslaw is some magic health food. Good nutrition is a system practiced consistently over time. Regularly eating a diverse range of whole plant foods supplies both your cells and your intestinal microbiome with the substrates they need to function.

The thing I love most about road trips is getting to experience the rich diversity of filthy truck stop bathrooms across America.

They’re quickly reaching the point where the little pens just aren’t enough, so we’re also getting their larger house ready for the next stage. Nothing complicated, just one of those regular jobs that comes with raising a bunch of rapidly growing ducks

I like how in action movies a car can roll five times, land upside down, and the guy just crawls out and keeps running. Meanwhile, I bump my shin on an end table and I’m crippled.
