Tonight Kelly and I had dinner at a Salvadore Molly’s (the one on S.E. 33rd) with our friends Miranda and Brian. There were two reasons for going. The first, we’d wanted to go for some time, we’d heard that the food was good, and the second, for a dish named Great Balls of Fire. The [...]
Kelly and I saw Metric perform live (at the Wonder Ballroom) last night with our friends Ty & Aymie, Miranda, and Kristen. We met at the Wonder Cafe, which in the basement of the ballroom, for dinner. The evening with Metric started there because as Miranda walked up to where we were seated she said [...]
Today we attended the wedding of our good friends Kacey and Ryan. It was held at Holocene (blogged about previously here), the ceremony was perfect (not to long, not to short, and very sweet), and the reception was great fun. I was put in charge of the music, which was super easy… I manned their [...]
My brother and I spent the evening at Moon & Sixpence tonight. I had a good time (which at that pub is a foregone conclusion) talking about work, our upcoming travels, politics, life, the universe and everything. I’m sure that I’ve never reviewed the food at Moon & Sixpence, but since my first visit there [...]
While browsing my new favorite internet time waster (Google Video) I browsed ‘popular’ just to see what them young hip kids are watching, and came across THIS. Beware: the following video may increase your desire to buy tickets to the local monster truck rally, drink Coors Light, buy a rusty pickup truck, and wear a [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everybody! I did a little bit of research about the day because I realized I didn’t know too much about it. Traditionally the day is meant to renew your spiritual vows and to offer prayers for missionaries around the world (due to St. Patrick’s missionary work bringing Christianity to Ireland). This [...]
A little something I read about via wired.com, a really slick CSS ‘compressor’ called CSS Tweak, a web-based tool that will take whatever CSS you’ve written and consolidate styles, reducing the size and overhead of your style sheet code. Cool!
I spent the evening helping my brother with his plan for European domination. He’s got a super-giant vacation coming up from CompuHyperGlobalMegaNet (as my friend Gone Ronin calls it), and is planning to spend a month and a half running around like a crazy person to Greece, Italy, France, Holland, England, Scotland, Germany, and Austria. [...]
While reading through a blog that Kelly sent me to (good Portland blog, Metroblogging Portland) there was mention of the March issue of the magazine Portland Monthly had a list of 50 Things Every Portlander Must Do and that another Portlander blogged a response with a more realistic list which was hilarious (and sadly true). [...]
Had another busy day, culminating in a trip to the Moon & Sixpence.
My ‘unemployment’ has been anything but the lazy layabout life I was hoping for, with all the freelance work I’ve had since my layoff in mid-January, and I continued along that path today by working on yet another project. This one for a [...]
