Photo booth photos from Founders Day 26 last month. That’s me with Bill and Ruben.

Got this from Rob who is an utter gaylord. Still nice idea.

WK12 Year 1’r Rudy Adler launched a web project yesterday: 

http://www.HowISpentMyStimulus.com 

It’s a collaborative site that allows people to share how they’re spendingtheir economic stimulus money. All of the blog entries are submitted byvisitors to the site. It already went top 3 on Reddit this morning.So, if you’re getting a check from the government, join in and post your story.

So a month or so back I wrote an email to the Heineken group at work. I had an idea for something fun that we could do as a project for the account. We could get these traditional Dutch cargo bikes, style them out to be full blown Heineken bikes and use them things here in bike crazed Portland. With Summer knocking on the doors it might be a nice way for people to get out of the office and run some errands around town. Skip ahead to now and we have countless ideas of things we could do with the bike. Even to just people asking questions and blurting out what if’s is a good thing.Still undecided if running over x-girlfriends with the bike is exactly Sharing the Good.

Good god girl, you break my heart.

Portland Oregon was awarded the Platinum status by the League of American Bicyclists. According to them this makes Portland the mark of excellence for which all large cities in America should try to emulate for bicycle education, safety, infrastructure and improvements. This is a great thing for Portland, but it makes me seriously shudder that Portland is the role model of excellence. The state of affairs in all other American cities must be absolutely horrendous. Portland may give a damn about their cycling activism, but we are a long, long way from anything that could be considered reasonable for cycling anywhere. Home to the absolute worst drivers I have come across anywhere in the world, Portland is far from a state of educated drivers and cyclists. I guess it’s a cute award to make folks feel better about riding in shit weather 9 months out of the year. As far as role model status, I think not.

My cousin Skip dropped me a line and a picture that blows my mind. I might have been 8. Not sure.Not much has changed. 

This is just the beginning. Hold tight. Much, much more to come.

It just keeps getting better and better. Low budget incredibleness.

Been off the rivet with the old blog here a bit. Had to send the camera to get repaired and won’t get it back for a bit. Hence the YouTube injections. Saw these guys at Doug Fir last night. The video here is tripping me out. Put down the Cheetos for this one. 

What?no embedding the video? Loss of points for that bollocks. Still worth a look. Time to Pretend–MGMT.
