Torn from the map of Michigan

I am holding half an acre
Torn from the map of Michigan
And folded in this scrap of paper
Is a land I grew in

- Hem, Half Acre

This song came on while I was hacking away on new features for the LOVELAND site tonight and it seemed like a funny enough synchronicity to spark a post. In particular, I’m making tools for people to shape and shuffle their fragments of land on the map, folding, dividing and apportioning tiny neighborhoods. I haven’t written lately about the project but only because it’s been picking up steam and keeping us all extremely busy! The new site launched, the Detroit crew is breaking ground on the property, and exciting events are taking shape.

If you’d like to support this wild idea, please grab some inches! Or get in touch to help shape the future of LOVELAND – we’re always looking for artists, geeks, programmers, writers and all-around awesome people to collaborate. If there’s something you want to build this is a great platform & community of creative weirdos.
