Grant-Lee Phillips, and much more

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Last night was a crazy evening. It started at the end of the work day…
The company I work for was throwing a party last night the Thirsty Lion for attendees of OSCON, an open source software convention being held in Portland over the next couple days. I was destined for Berbati's Pan (right around the [...]

I hate the heat

Monday, July 24th, 2006

As the title says, I hate the heat. I hate how tired it makes me. I hate sweating standing completely still. I hate how the relative rarity of this kind of heat here doesn't quite warrant the purchase of an expensive air conditioning unit for my house, but being miserable not having one. Urgh.
OK, I'm [...]

It’s the new style…

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

As you can probably see, I've finally created a design for the blog, rather than using one of the defaults of the blog software. It's in a pretty early stage and will likely see continued tweaks over the next few days, but I figured it'd be better than what was there before. Well, maybe, you [...]

The Weather, This Weekend, Next Wednesday

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

Been hot again the past couple days (highs over 100° F), with humidity well above 50%, so it's not only hot, but sticky. And seems we're in for a repeat through the weekend. Ugh.
Last night Kelly and I went to our friends Ty and Aymie's for a BBQ (because not even the hot weather [...]

A busy weekend

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

The weekend has been pretty busy so far. Yesterday after work Kelly and I met up with our friends Ghost Dog (and his wife Becky) at the Mash Tun for some dinner and drinks. I haven't been there for a couple weeks and they have some new batches of beer, one of which is the [...]

A great Firefox extension for bloggers

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006

Today while going to the Mozilla addons site to find a particular Firefox extension I discovered something called Performancing. This, for you bloggers out there, is a really great browser extension that makes for ‘one-click’ blogging to your blog of choice. After the extension has been installed all you have to do is click the [...]

Weekend at Astoria

Monday, July 10th, 2006

Kelly and I spent this past weekend in Astoria, Oregon. Our aunt recently bought a vacation home there and let us stay a few nights. The weather was absolutely fantastic (I have the sunburn to prove it too).
We arrived in the evening on Friday, had enough daylight to pick up groceries, unpack, and start walking [...]

BBQ and Beer

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

Had some friends over tonight for a BBQ over this 4th of July weekend. Since I was given a reprieve from work today, and have tomorrow off, today is sort of like Saturday part 3. Hooray!
After spending several hours in the heat yesterday working on the yard I took it pretty easy today, not doing [...]

Super crazy stuff

Saturday, July 1st, 2006

Man, what a crazy month. I know, my posts have become a great deal less frequent. I sort of knew that would happen once I started my new job at SuperSweetCo, though it’s been extra crazy due to the fact that I started the job in the midst of a big software release. That has [...]
