  • @Wanda and @Alex where does Adam work?
  • I've definitely donated to strangers' projects after donating to a larger project. I've had terrible luck with KS though - only three have actually come through with donor rewards.
  • Yup - these are dangers, but you can take proactive steps, like going over HOA meeting minutes, requesting financial records, etc... In my case, the mortgage would actually lower my rent, which is already pretty cheap for Portland. The condo I'm loo…
  • I'm not actually into obtaining a mail order bride, but I think harmless pranks are funny (in this case pranking a realtor). No offense intended :) I generally find saying absurd things and trying to act normal is fun.
  • @flossy_logs you are totally welcome to come with. 10am tomorrow ;) I might ask you to pretend to be an ESL mail-order bride (for fun). It's a condo a block away from my house. Best neighborhood in PDX, and cheap enough for me to buy. I have a pret…
  • Tomorrow I look at my first prospective condo, I am super excited! Thanks so much @flossy_logs !
  • (Evil Super Villain Voice) I have already voted! I will not disclose how I voted! All arguments are now useless on me! Bwahahahaha! PS: Many beers and sodas already have fluoride in them because they are bottled in places with fluoride.

  • I'm in.
  • @YoursTruly Have you tried a small, tasteful "No Soliciting" sign? They aren't all loud stickers, and door to door types do (usually) look out for them, as their bosses don't like getting complaints.
  • Spank ass with fish: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ats/3773741453.html
  • Yeah, the Spire Tech site is pretty bad, they're just a tiny crew of dudes on SW Jefferson. But you know, they charge like $100 a year for internet. I've used them for four or five years, and they're great. They even deal with Century Link for you. …
  • I use a local ISP called Spire Tech. You have to pay for Century Link's copper, but everything goes through Spire Tech. It isn't as fast as comcast, but these are guys in PDX who pick up the phone when you call and they are super cool and it ends up…
  • I was thinking about this thread when I had lunchers with my moms on Monday (double dragon - she had never heard of Bánh mì). I take for granted how plugged in she is. We can talk about the interesting business plans of Podcast Empires like Max Fun …
  • @flossy_logs I am abelovesfun at the hemails.. I don't think I have your email. Or maybe I do but I can never keep track of who is who on this jam : )
  • I am in the same boat... I have a good chunk saved for a down payment, but with a new business things are risky. I feel like if I wait a year I will be screwed...
  • My little company is looking for new design talent. Web / print / identity / kick ass. hello@weareemblem.com
  • Yesterday was Day 2, and it ends on Sunday. Strange festival this year - there are fewer "Big Names" than ever, but attendance is massive. Last night there was a line around the block for Mt. Tabor just for wristbands, and another huge line for peop…
  • It is a music / call in show, and is on late. I have to be kind of cryptic... she doesn't want her secret identity to be exposed...
  • My mom does a show on KBOO, under a fake name, and I have friends who are fans and call in. It's a bit odd.
  • @flossy_logs go see Reggie Watts. If you don't laugh, I'll pay your cover.
  • OMG Is footloose responsible for cutting!?!?!
  • OMG you listen to Comedy Bang Bang!?!?! I love this crew. Bridgetown Comedy Fest in a few weeks!!!

  • The Old Reader is the winner! Hoorah! Thanks everyone!
  • The Beck "album" that is just sheet music? I'm kind of meh about it. It would have been a bit cooler, revolutionary, and more democratic if he provided MIDI files of the album (since that's almost certainly the source of the sheet music). But maybe …
  • I like this a lot.
  • If you want to keep from being sued, you can use one of three proven strategies: 1. Don't make any money. Small mash-up guys, remixers, and DJs don't get sued because they don't have any cash and it isn't worth it. 2. Scare the lawyers. Girl Talk …
  • But it has to have a suffix, no? Like chattosave.. @___.__ ? Or is I cray.
  • My company is hiring a front end developer. Part time to start, decent pay, weird boss (me).
  • I have been convinced to give Community another shot. I saw two eps of the first season and didn't like it, but I'm going to give it another go now.
