I am liveblogging each episode of Doctor Who as I watch it. I am publishing a raw stream of consciousness list of things I am considering and wondering about as I watch. In the interest of not spoiling anything for anyone I am putting all of it behind the jump. This episode is the thirteenth [...]

Recently I went flipping back through some of my posts, and I enjoyed the hell out of reading them. I guess that’s a good sign, right? That I like reading stuff I wrote? A few times I had to remind myself that I was the author, so I’ll take that as a very good sign. [...]

I have decided. Lots of people have the “oh THIS year will be the year I…” resolutions, the one that just keeps coming back over and over. This year I am changing that for myself. I gave it some thought and for 2011 I’m doing something different. This is The Year I Will Make It [...]

Yesterday I was driving home and since it was nearing 5 on Friday afternoon I decided to take surface streets. So I went driving down SE Stark, all the way from the railroad tracks down in the industrial area all the way over Mt Tabor and across 82nd to my house. I had my iPhone [...]
I watch Lost and this season as one of the Delta Park Project’s research interns I figured it would be helpful to liveblog my thoughts. First off the episode description from TiVo: Locke’s motives are finally explained. So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim no coherency. It wouldn’t even make [...]
I watch Lost and this season as one of the Delta Park Project’s research interns I figured it would be helpful to liveblog my thoughts. First off the episode description from TiVo: Desmond wakes up and realizes he is back on the island. So here goes! I scribble these as I watch so I claim [...]
I am testing on an iPad. This is super duper fun. I like this a lot more than I thought I would. This pleases me greatly. I really didn’t think I would be excited about an iPad. No really! I just thought it would be fun to play with. But the more time I spend [...]
I am going to save this as a local, then as a draft. Here is my ‘save as draft’ change. Woo!

Hey kids! Didja miss me? I know, I’m working on it. But because I know PRECISELY enough about WordPress backend mucking about to get it really wrong, but then stop before I make it much much worse, I’m slowly restoring. So instead of the little digging guy or something about pardoning my dust, I’ll just [...]

She writes stacks and stacks of letters! I hope the Letterman reference amused the old-school late-nighters among you. Anyway! I think the Patriot Act is sort of lame and while well intentioned, really poorly executed. So now that it’s up for renewal (a process not without contention, I might add), there’s some discussion in Congress [...]

It hasn’t been today all that long, but it is September Eleventh or Nine/Eleven or Nine One One or whatever it is you wish to call it. Some have referred to it as Patriot Day. This really REALLY bothers me. I’ve been thinking about it off and on since last weekend when I turned a [...]

Honestly. If you haven’t heard yet, the guy running things here in the States just gave a speech on health care insurance reform. He used this opportunity (addressing a joint session of Congress) to clear up some misunderstandings and outright lies that have been told about what sorts of things he wants passed as part [...]

We had a reception after the actual service for Gramma The Scoot last Tuesday. I built a slideshow of various photos of her, and I also whipped up a CD of music for afterwards to just play on shuffle. What I put on that CD is listed below. She was a fan of country and [...]

I filled this in at the Media Matters website. They are a media watchdog organization. I like them because they are equal opportunity: They call shenanigans when there are shenanigans, whether it’s a left winger or right winger, and I like that. One of their current actions is trying to keep CNN’s Lou Dobbs from [...]

I’ve said this on Twitter and it remains true: There is one glaring thing wrong with every single Mac desktop client I have tried. Yes, ALL of them. I realize I could be alone in this, I looked for a stat and found that as of June 2009 the average Twitter user has 126 followers [...]

OK, here I go with more politics. Just so you’re warned. Also: If you’re here to validate your own health care reform opinions or you just want to tear me down for mine, I’m sorry, that’s not gonna happen. I do believe the cost of health care is out of control, and whether there’s a [...]

My family is…interesting. I have cattle rustlers even a city named after a family member on a couple of branches of my tree. Anyway, I’m not sure where it started, but my dad’s dad (Pappy, no really, Pappy) always had a name for you if he liked you, especially if you were family. It sometimes [...]
I have recently discovered the joys of the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (thanks insomnia!), and I saw Monday night’s episode where he was given a gift of an American flag that flew over the Capitol last September (Craig became a US Citizen last September). Along with the flag came a short note. Here [...]
…so here’s the letter I wrote to all the members of Portland’s City Council who voted unanimously to rename SE 39th Ave to Cesar Chavez Blvd. Commissioners: I am disappointed you did not take the wishes of the residents of 39th Avenue into account when you voted yes. Why not a compromise on a new [...]
