Just a quick mention to two good friends who celebrated their birthdays this weekend. Sujata and Sean. Happy birthday you two!
Sujata had a rockin’ party on Saturday (with a keg of really good IPA from a local brewpub, Laurelwood) that kept me up late, and Sean had a small BBQ at his house Sunday. Both [...]
Tonight Kelly and I (and our good friend Miranda) went to see a show at Dante’s in downtown Portland, a double-headliner of both Stellastarr* (link not working at the time of this writing, you can check out their MySpace page though) and Editors. Before the show we met for dinner and drinks at the Shanghai [...]
Spent the week working my butt off trying to finish up all my freelance projects. Nearly done (I hope) and once I’m done with that nonsense I can finish all the yard work I need to get done before our trip to the UK. If at all possible I will have a few days to [...]
Well, I know, I suck at blogging. I knew I would. On a day-to-day basis I find I have little to write about. I mean sure, I could write about how I woke up with a sore back, and then stubbed my toe on the dresser in my zombie-like shuffle towards the coffee maker (the [...]
Today my mom and I saw my brother and sister-in-law off at the airport for a mega-gigantic six week European extravaganza. They flew Lufthansa from Portland to Frankfurt, Germany and then connected to Athens, Greece. From there they’ll hit Italy, France, Holland, England, meeting Kelly and I in Scotland, then on to Salzburg, Austria, and [...]
I helped my sister-in-law and her family move today. They live in Lacey WA (just north of Olympia), which is about a two hour drive from Portland. We wanted to arrive as early in the day as we could, so Kelly and I got up at 6:30am, got on the road at around 7:45am, drove [...]
According to this article on Reuters, movies for the PSP (on their proprietary UMD, or Universal Media Disc) may be going away. Apparently two major studio’s (Universal Studios and Paramount Pictures) have dropped the format already, and others may follow suit, due to lackluster sales of films on the format. The article mentions that Retailers [...]
Kelly and I attended the CD release concert for a really great local band, Talkdemonic, at Holocene (yup, where Kacey and Ryan got married last weekend) with our friend Miranda.
Before the show we went for dinner and drinks at Lucky Lab, a great local brew pub, which aside from having great beers and great food, [...]
Yeah yeah, ok, I know, lame April Fool’s joke, but I can dream can’t I? I don’t typically care about April Fool’s day at all, but I was so annoyed that my favorite nerd news outlet Slashdot was filled with nothing BUT lame April Fool’s stories that I had to rant just a little. Normally [...]
