Loon and I are working with a very passionate Seattle teacher to set up a website for Seattle Green Schools (also occasionally called “Seattle Green Teams”). We’re doing the design now, and I’ll start on the real work once my AmeriCorps term is up — and yes, they might even pay me! How neat is that?

I can’t tell if I’m getting better at web design or worse. It’s always so painful.
