For PDX-ers still mourning the loss of local coffee chain Coffee People (summarily bought out of existence by Starbucks, who coveted their two drive-in locations on MLK Blvd.) might feel a little bit better knowing that there is somewhere that is still carrying the flame. There is a shop on SE Grand Ave and approximately [...]

Like Portland? Like mobile stuff? Like tech and Web stuff? Then get mobilated. Cell-webbed. Textoclicked. Cloud Four (that’s my awesome company!) is helping to organize a new Mobile Portland group, where mobile people can get together and yak it up and make great leaps in ideas for mobility. Keep an eye on Cloud Four’s blog [...]

It’s the 13th! Know what that means? It means that, at least until I change the logic again, that it’s the day you’ll see a photograph of a rainbow in Finland (it was an epic rainbow, believe me) in the header of the site. I know most of you don’t actually visit the site itself, [...]

Brewcaster over at Metroblogging Portland posted something about suckage at Los Baez Mexican restaurant, which is not far from my house, even so far as to give it a rating of EPIC FAIL. I would argue, however, that the even bigger suckulus is Citysearch itself, to which the article linked. Look at this. Apparently Citysearch [...]

Taken on a walk during lunch the other day. Looking west over the Willamette towards the South Waterfront area (with Ross Island in front).

After work last night, Brett and I went and picked up Wes (who took a while coming down from his apartment to the car because “the bird was somewhere it really wasn’t supposed to be and I wasn’t wearing socks”) and then went to Thatch, a very convincing Tiki bar over on NE Broadway and [...]

Last night, some guy was shot in the parking lot of the Wild Oats on Capitol Highway, then dumped next to Kes and Aileen’s house in Hillsdale. From KGW&: Just before midnight, central precinct officers found the man’s body at a Legacy Hospital hospice center at 6171 SW Capitol Highway. Sgt. Brian Schmautz said it [...]

I was on my daily constitutional, minding my own business and listening to a lecture about the racial constructs of 17th- and 18th-century Latin American and Brazilian societies on my iPhone, expecting the rain to start at any moment, when, lo! I pass the fire station located right next to the Hawthorne Bridge along the [...]

I had to walk from work to go pick up my TT at Matrix, where I was having my A/C bearings dealt with (plus a new battery; I’m preparing for a Significant Road Trip). This hike routed me all the way through the new South Waterfront chaos and the scale of it kind of knocked [...]
