  • Francesconi left a nasty taste in my mouth when he ran for Mayor, I'd prefer he retire from politics. I voted against Saltzman, but he does get my respect for taking strong stands, even when I disagree with them. I won't be mad when he gets re-elect…
  • @UncleBoatShoes2011 Thanks for the clarifications, and go blazers!
  • I feel kind of weird about the Sterling thing right now. Obviously he is a jerk and I disagree with his views and his actions, but is there a specific article in the NBA rules regarding racism? Does anyone believe he is the only racist team owner? W…

  • I don't know - I think she is looking for a really cheap place, like $500 ish. Does that match up?
  • I have a friend looking for a room in NE - hollar if you hear anything!
  • Buddy Jordan was put down yesterday, a few days after it was discovered that his degenerative illness was going to get worse. He got a nice car ride around sauvies island a bunch of hamburgers to eat, and lots of love before he went down. They are s…
  • On this note. I now work in Sellwood where a fancy pants grocery store is under construction. Turns out the owner (or the owner's wife?) has been posting lots of homophobic stuff on FB: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/04/owners_ant…
  • Sometimes it's hidden in "important" - and sometimes they mark it as read automatically, esp if it's an HTML newsletter. Or maybe you have a rule that auto-moves a certain query to a folder and skip the inbox?

  • Real talk time: This is Kymani http://www.oregonhumane.org/adopt/detail.asp?animalID=157063#.UyyxE16pIgM She is the best fucking dog. Super deep soul styles. This dog will be loyal as hell and she is super soft! If you know anyone looking that doe…
  • I do a thing where instead of asking for a $ number, I ask for a life style. I say the following: "I'm in a pretty good place right now and don't have any debt. I have a down payment saved up and am interested in buying soon. As long as I can make m…
  • @Marc_Zuckerburg Oh I am already deep deep in the modular hole: http://pdxmodular.tumblr.com/ This project is like a "starter" product for peeps wanting to get into modular.

  • Currently: - Building a prototype for a "starter" modular synth in Euro and 5u. - Building a ton of other electronics... - Working on websites and such. - Thinking about how to play some of my bloops and bleeps in a public scenario.

  • My favorite part of volunteering is walking in and taking notes about who isn't there anymore. OHS finds homes for 99% of their animals, usually within a few weeks. There's actually some really cool math stats in the back regarding average adoption …
  • I am about to go volunteer now, I'll get back with the dirty deets. I just took an offer for a full-time gig which will definitely affect my volunteer hours :(
  • This is my favorite dog at OHS. She is really smart and nice. She is aloof at first, but once she gets to know you really warms up. Super good walker and mellow. Collie + Husky!?!?! http://www.oregonhumane.org/adopt/detail.asp?animalID=157063#.Ux39U…
  • (shit double post)
  • Oh shit. Ya'll know I volunteer at the humane society right? This thread is dangerous. BTW: There is a dog named Kimani that is the best and I can't believe she is still there. I haven't hung out with Decian yet as he just got done being screened. A…
  • Gadget-Fix was able to fix my iPad same-day for only $25. Apple store officially sucks.
  • I think of TK as design and decor. It isn't really "art" the same way a "Keep calm and ___" poster isn't.
  • Art can be beautiful or dark or whatever, all art "needs to do" to be successful (IMHO) is force you to deal with it on it's own level. That's how I judge art anyway, but I'm a commie public artist who feels weird about galleries and museums (despit…
  • I like Banksy as well.
  • BT Dubs - My contract is over, so if anyone needs or knows of a need for a fun Digital Producer / Project Wrangler dude, let me know!
  • She's fine, and even has a good sense of humor about everyone laughing at her online. She's actually from NY, and isn't a Portlander.

  • I use a hippy ISP called Spire Tech. They are great, but it's *just* high speed DSL. I have to pay Century link for access to their copper. The nice thing about Spire Tech is: 1. local 2. they value my privacy and deal with hassles for me 3. they pi…
  • I liked Her, and also Upstream Color. I watched Dallas Buyers Club last night and bawled my eyes out. I am catching up on Oscar movies.
  • Best meal ever was an 11 courser at Laurelhurst Market, followed by one at Beast. Both were super-meaty though.
  • I agree with @UncleBoatShoes2011, all the vegan places are still here, and there are more of them too - our city has just grown up, so of course there are lots of meaty places, we're now both setting and following national food trends.
  • @joey There are tons of great veggie options in Portland - this is about a very small part of the city that is "Industrial" so eating options of all kind are a bit tough to find. I did find a great food pod though, and the Sheridan's options are fan…
