Actually I was sitting outside the Art Museum on the wall with my girlfriend some years back when we ran into someone she knew visiting from out of town. Somehow the conversation got around to this topic and I proposed the theory above. And he's lik…

I have always maintained that the police should hire social workers, not ex-military. Yes, it is a psychologically stressful job, alternating intense boredom with seeing the worst in people. That means police management must dismantle the police cul…

A PDX friend reports that they know a public defender who worked in Ferguson. From that public defender on the ground: many years running routine treatment of African Americans there is dire and outrageous. "Police corruption was so bad that he felt…

I just saw an elliptical bike on the street this AM - gym machine drive for a bike. Probably expensive. I don't get it. Portland has a ton of great bike builders. Renovo wood bikes and the Oregon Manifest entry for 2014 - titanium - http://oregonman…

My friends used to rent houses that intruded into Tryon. I think it is now an "educational community". Some really fine dinners, house parties and romping.

From political science is the idea of the sole paradigm. It is the framework within which everything is interpreted. Not questioned. The market economy solving all is an example. Libertarianism is a representation of that ideal. But there are many o…

On gentrification in Williams x Skidmore "Other landlords developers said they didn't want the smell of Ethiopian simmering in their new spot." "We'd love to have them, but new construction is expensive, and they may not be able to afford the rent.…

artspace.org is much more reputable, friends live in their spaces. Artists are the shock troops of gentrification, in studios and legal/not live-work. How about they receive a percentage of the gains when the neighborhood gentrifies? How about the s…

New construction in Portland is about $200/square foot, usually a little higher. Land is $5-200/square foot, where apartments are being built is toward the higher end. New construction land costs are divided over living space minus green space and p…

@Alex there has been a (small) discussion in the venture community on why me-too apps verses startups attacking big problems. There are also a ton of gratuitous design objects being produced - see KS and Grand St. On the other hand, social entrepren…

State tax law funds gentrification in Oregon. Oregon passed a property tax reform initiative in the 90's? at the bottom of property values in N/NE and some other neighborhoods. The assessment can only rise 3%/year from the value in those years. So h…

Microbiology, as in e coli, is science. Knowledge of it is poor in the media and in the public. Maybe an UH group field trip to Bull Run - http://www.portlandoregon.gov/water/article/384640.

Know any archaeologists looking for work? http://ch.tbe.taleo.net/CH03/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=CRGTINC&cws=37&rid=3133

To me Happy Valley could be the moon. Don't get. But there is a put put there http://theaerieateaglelanding.com/ which is fancy and not too expensive. It would be fun to play in Brooks Brothers, wingtips and monocles. Oaks Park is a fav. Other than…

Mass media: "Sky is falling, zombie apocalypse, doom for ever" (buy more ads) Government: "Expect worst case, don't blame us" (not my fault) Tea Party: "retire on social security + medicare and do not contribute to future social good. F the planet" …

Are you an artist who would like to teach? Plus there are some other fun jobs on the link. Wouldn't be a bad place to work at all. We are looking for Teaching Artists for Camp Caldera. You can teach for one session (8 - 10 days) or more than one…

The recreation of Cut Piece was in a small Portland underground gallery maybe 25x25. Unannounced. The artist circulated through the packed crowd carrying a red velvet pillow with shears. There was enough going on and totally packed shoulder to shoul…

Tagging on my note above on aesthetics, this researcher is conducting controlled experiments. His results show judgements of "what is good" are random above a certain threshold. http://www.princeton.edu/~mjs3/musiclab.shtml. One of the values of U…

YT - I saw a cut piece recreation with a wedding dress in Portland. The gallery was so packed that most people were unaware it was happening.

I occasionally run into Allen. I have no idea what Beats is up to. They did revive the headphones business at the pricy point. The intent of the note is if you are in PDX and interested in the topic, you can probably get some thoughts in person.

I've come to a model that all aesthetics are tribal. So there are Kinkade tribes (I used to work with some, many had Christian religions as a big part of their lives) Social media and social relationships will increasingly constitute tribes, rather …

No idea what they are up to: http://siliconflorist.com/2014/02/25/yo-dre-portland-dave-allen-joins-beats-music/ "startup by musicians, for musicians".

One report has an individual working in HI on a contract basis converting Sharepoint content to web at about 125. If that was really the job description, tools used make perfect sense. You do not want to be that individual at this moment though. @…

@Alex Someone who likes developing in .net and maintaining msft server?

There is a place downtown by the old Coffee Plant that does walk in lab.

I kind of like Hirst, I think he is a heavier than Koons. A friend knew him very early. Hirst visited her and then husband, who was a physician. He was having heavy substance abuse problems at the time. Friend ended up inspiring his work based on th…

Chihuly has a big ego which is irritating. And I'm suspicious of too much beauty in art. But his ego made the entire art glass ecosystem in the Northwest. If you get a chance to visit Pilchuck sometime, do. It's an all-glass Caldera. Also a friend…

(I am not a doctor and I am not your doctor) The soft tissue is going to be painful, depending on the injury, potentially for months. After maybe 2 days or 3 press around on the bones with your thumb. A sharp pain can indicate a fracture. If a frac…

Got to agree with Alex. Would be extremely unlikely to hire even a new college grad who studied those skills at that rate. To say I strongly disfavor H1B arbitrage would be understating. And just saying, Alta should create a venture funded subsidi…
