I love my pressure cooker. Love it. Great for beans, great for soup, great for making veggie stock, great for whole grains. (Also great for meat but that's not of interest for you.) Here are a bunch of fantastic pressure cooker recipes, many of them…

Do you live in Portland? We like the Mattress Lot (or as Josh always calls it, The Mattress Bog). Nice people, local shop, local products, let you try stuff out, good return policy, discount if you arrive by bike, delivery by bike if you're close. W…

You could ask Sturgill...he's adjunct faculty in the PSU Graphic Design program.

What is the advice you want? How to hire quality without being able to guarantee job security? I like to be up front about that. When I hire temporary positions, I try to pay more than I absolutely have to so that I can get top-notch candidates, and…

You're looking for a new job, I take it?

Some of it's just youth/inexperience. But I can't help but feel like, since the majority of these kids are coming out of some kind of grad program, are those programs doing everything they can to help them present professionally? Admittedly, I have …

"Thank you for considering my application and your time for having read this obscenely longwinded cover letter." (Was a short cover letter, as cover letters go.)

Hot tip: do not sign your cover letter, "Have a Blessed Day!"

And now I'm suddenly getting applications from Lagos, Sri Lanka, and Dubai. How are these people finding my job post??
-
I would like to think that most of these are because they are young/inexperienced, and not because they're self-centered tools.

Paid

p.s. It's a really great team. Great morale and good work-life balance. Plus, bikes.

Hm...could be just design as we have a developer, or it could be both. Must be design, though, as our graphic design team is too busy to take on that part right now.

I think it's weird that everyone I know hates the Arts Tax. If "we" don't support it, who does?!

Oaxaca: eat as many tamales de mole negro as you can get your hands on. Try the mercado rather than a restaurant.

Matt Haughey just wrote something about switching careers: https://matt.haughey.com/folks-this-is-your-captain-speaking-86d93c5326e1#.7he42vz4b

I didn't know I was "allowed" to just do less of what I'm bad at. I always thought I had to get better at my weaknesses until I was allowed to move on to other things. Of course, because I'm genuinely bad at detailed project management work, my chan…

The main thing that has transformed my career - within the same firm and field, but still, a pretty major change in my role - has been working with a coach to understand my true strengths and weaknesses, and then reshaping my role at my company to l…

Big downside to buying: potentially harder to move (though in our housing market...) Big upside: lock in your mortgage at today's housing rates. In markets that are falling, that can be a bad thing. But again, in our housing market...

We really appreciated the fact that overseas coverage is free for T-mobile when we were in Europe for a month last summer. I shudder to think of what it would have cost otherwise.

I have a professional nemesis, though it's not a person, it's a firm, which makes it less interesting. But still, I feel like every time I turn the corner I'm shaking my fist and saying, "You again?!!!"

That third house is very, "how hard could it be to design a house?"

Owly, it wasn't Error 53, was it? Hope not...

That may be true, but supply can help to solve the problem indirectly too. In the past, young professional singles and retirement-age couples might have chosen a 3-bedroom house. Now, they'll be more likely to gravitate towards smaller units, which …

So does this mean that we can pitch Adrian on New Yorker article ideas? Because I've got some...
