not to mention these dudes http://hopeshavenfriends.com/gallery/index.php/Hopefuls/B-Pup-boys (june 12th is getting closer)

pull ups? push ups? "work your delts"

better gas mileage. maybe. and as a proud minivan owner, i think you'll be able to stuff more in a minivan than a SUV. but i suppose that really comes down to make and model.
-
why rent a SUV instead of a minivan? with gas prices at what they are, this makes sense.

my "stand up desk" is actually an old drafting table placed on cinder blocks. so far so good, but today will be the first real day. so far i am missing my usual cup of coffee and bowl of cereal while i read the nytimes online, but i am feeling mo…

also, there is a cool dude in town named Boaz who did a project a couple years ago called the un-roadtrip. he traveled the entire country road-trip style except he never got in a car. he made a cool web series out of it that just got turned into a…

"Portland's good for walking but you can't get very far" ??? is there some sort of moat or invisible fence that i don't know about?
-
marcus and i have started doing something like this where we are trading final cut pro lessons for basic internet/web design know how. we are rocking it so far, which reminds me that i have homework to do...

i think portland is under-recognized for it's walk-ability. it's really easy to get around this town on foot.

is fellow a fancier way of saying intern? it seems so in this case.

i make so little money i barely pay anything in taxes, so i feel kind of lame when i argue in favor of raising them since i won't really be the one who is actually paying the higher rates. an honest question that i have, with no intentions of sound…

this is a tough call. upping portland's already super high property taxes 11% or more is a lot to ask, especially when those taxes are based on pre-bubble-burst assessments of the properties' value. schools are definitely in need, but there is no …

wow, that cheese placement image is intense! speaking of cheese has anyone visited the Tillimook Cheese Factory? if you are driving through the area it is well worth a stop. i am still hung up about this 'what is a sandwich' dilemma. two slices …

marcus- there is much wisdom in your post. i've been going over a couple 'web lessons' and it seems like there is just a giant chasm between understanding the basics of html and then actually making a website happen. and i fully agree that once y…

we made it! good work Cascadia Subduction Zone! next worry: radio active cloud from japan floats over the ocean and turns significant portions of the west coast population into flesh eating zombies. i have my emergency kit so i am ready!

tonight is the night. hold on cascadia subduction zone!!!

"Now the earthquake prognosticator admits he's worried about the prospects of a strong quake hitting the West Coast of the US sometime during March 2011, particularly around March 19th." whoah! two more days!! good thing my emergency kit is almos…
-
meg and i started working on our emergency kits today and it's really complicated and stressful. there are just so many different things you realize you are not at all prepared for, and then further realizing that the preparation for such things is…

what is super weird is that the maritime sites i was looking at were not typical commercial sites. i almost expect a site like amazon to be spying on me, but it is hard to imagine marinetraffic.com loading my computer up with a bunch of cookies. …

i think i'll take the whiskey and cyanide route if things get as dark as The Road. us urban liberal pinkos won't stand a chance in that world, while all the NRA survivalists will be laughing at us (just before they eat us) - Sarah Palin will become…

I would like to point out that while Meg was off on this insane adventure, I was at home on the couch watching Battle Star Gallactica.
-
Steve- i am so sorry for your loss. if you hadn't heard, Tess also passed away recently, so i know what you are going through. it's really tough. these little fur balls are like ticking time bombs of heart-break.

i think the willy week tends to have the best film and arts coverage of the Portland big three (Willamette Week, Oregonian, and Mercury) and occasionally has some very good feature stories, but more often over-shoots with those feature stories and m…

WHEN IN DOUBT, DO IT ALL (has always been my mantra for decision making*) (* but as i am getting older i am starting to question that strategy)

Valhalla Rising is certainly a cool flick! i think it's relative lack of success has to do with the fact that it is too slow and arty for the violent/action film crowd, while it is to violent and genre-based for the art crowd. but for me it was to…

ah geez, thanks uhx friends! it is true, there are some exciting things happening right now. if you aren't arleady, you should become facebook freinds with the movie! ( www.facebook.com/somedaysthemovie ) also, it is already listed on netfilx, so…

somebody already swooped in and acquired my ipod in a deft behind-the-scenes move. maybe mr. frogtor was just kidding when he said he wanted to sell his?

you can try making juice with raw garlic if you have a juicer. i would also like to recommend that you add raw ginger to your efforts to fight off the sickness. just get a root of raw ginger and cut little chunks off and chew it up! it's a pretty…

i think some of the "touristy" things to do in portland are actually pretty nice. -visit the gorge / hike along a waterfall -ride the aerial tram -washington park rose garden - portland art museum - mt hood / timberline lodge - the beach / haystack…

i've got a barely used 8 gb ipod touch i'd like to move as well. Alan should get first dibs on any buyers, but keep me in mind y'all.
