PDX: New Deschutes Brewery in the Pearl, via Autumn

June 4, 2008 | 5 comments { Food, PDX }

My friend Autumn tried out the new Deschutes Brewery in the Pearl and wrote about it on her blog. I find it funny. not totally thrilled my reuben was going to cost me $11.95 i was downright flummoxed to see that the kids menu listed grilled salmon as one of its offerings. grilled salmon? seriously? [...]

Track Pick: "It's Been Done" by Angela McCluskey

June 1, 2008 { Music }

I’ve always enjoyed the work that Angela McCluskey has done for Telepopmusik, but I had not heard this track before. I am really pleased by it. Genre: Chilled/Downtempo

Track Pick: "Friday Coffee (Paul Keeley Mix)" by Mango

May 16, 2008 | 1 comment { Music }

Heard on Armin Van Buuren’s Another State of Trance episode 352. Like. …This song is a summer charmer, in the vein of some of Tiesto’s early-2000′s “In Search of Sunrise” tracks. Reminds me of a sad but intense time in 2001. Perhaps it will cheer you. Genre: Progressive Trance Intensity/Danceiness: Medium Cheesiness: Medium low Season: [...]

DJ Armin Van Buuren, Roseland, Portland, Oregon

May 12, 2008 | 5 comments { Life, Music }

Enjoy a few rather pitiful photographs from the great time last night at Armin Van Buuren. Always frustrating for me when I see a place that could be beautifully photographed but have no way to make it happen. I enjoyed this show more than I have in…I would wager to assert several years. That’s high [...]

PDX: 94.7 and their "25 Years" of Alternative Music

May 9, 2008 | 7 comments { Music, PDX }

94.7 KNRK has a little bit they play sometimes about how they’ve been around for over 25 years. 25 years of alternative music. Except that’s not…possible, unless I have a really messed up recollection of things. As I remember it, we had 970 AM The Beat until the early- or mid-90′s. This is how I [...]

Armin Van Buuren on SUNDAY!

May 8, 2008 { Music }

I’m going to see DJ Armin Van Buuren at the Roseland on Sunday evening, the 11th. Wouldn’t it be nice if you were there, too? If this is your sort of thing?

Does Calling it a "Cell Phone" Make you Seem Stupid?

May 6, 2008 | 7 comments { Geek, Internets }

So I call my mobile device a cell phone, a lot of the time. I’m kind of in the biz (mobile and Web development), so maybe it matters, my jargon. Cameron Moll, in his book “Mobile Web Design” decries this habit as podunk and indicative of a culture ignorant of the impact (or potential impact) [...]

Track Pick: "To Forever" by Rachel Starr

April 30, 2008 { Life, Music }

Here’s one for my friends who like the straightforward progressive trance with female vocal. Simple enough. Starr is responsible for the rather popular 2005 track “Till there was You” and there are still vestiges in this newer track of the darkness therein, an interesting minor scale the vocals climb and descend. Still, it’s nothing that [...]

What was your First Flickr Photo?

April 24, 2008 | 6 comments { Geek, Internets, Life, Photography }

whirly feet Originally uploaded by lyzadanger Mine was, inexplicably, or ironically, one of my feet. I took it in San Diego where I was attending O’Reilly’s ETech conference in 2005. Flickr was quite the topic of conversation. This was back in the era where your account/profile had to be approved before you could actually post [...]
