I happened by a laundromat near the south end of 1st Ave. last night, so I took a picture through the window. After I started this post, I realized I’d taken a very, very similar shot (and even processed it pretty much the same way) back in 2008. I guess my brain decided doing a
The Evo 4G from Sprint is an impressive phone that won me over in the brief time I had one. The phone has a monster 4.3″ screen, a 1Ghz processor, awesome camera, and amazing 720p video recording capability. The phone comes by default with Android 2.1, the “Eclair” version of Android. Froyo, aka Androi
Coupons get a bad rap. Sure, there are countless coupons for Lean Cuisine, Count Chocula and Sunny Delight. But there are also huge numbers of coupons for butter, bread and pasta. Add in store specific coupons, and there’s no reason to turn a blind eye to this opportunity for grocery and general savings. I just [...]

I do my best to cover a variety of topics here at Get Rich Slowly. Personal finance is a v-a-s-t topic, and there’s a lot of specialized knowledge. But there’s no question I have blind spots. Because Kris and I have no kids, I don’t write much about children and money. Student loans are another blind spot
My favorite song this time last year was the same as it is now, "Remember the Mountain Bed." Back then, I had Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Rush's 2112 in heavy rotation, apparently in the
The troops are doing wonderful work under tough conditions. This video from the Guardian has some bloody details--yes, bloody. The reporter notes that it is 55 degrees centigrade. That is 130 degrees F. 130!&n
This afternoon, after returning home from the clinic and taking the five boys back to their home, I fell asleep on the couch.

Two interesting reads on the same day, from two different perspectives, and both adding to the increasingly loud arguments on why financial aid to the poor, especially in Africa, might be more harm than good--at least in the way we have been doing it. First, from an NGO field worker/volunteer,
...do you recognize them all? Read the comments here to see if you did. I'm not a film buff, so I missed quite a few, but I did get a bunch.
These folks promise to help you figure that out. Thank goodness they haven't come up with one of those for blogs yet. We might be out of business.

I’ve written about Lake Oswego’s strict tree code, and Portland has a tree code as well. Probably most areas around the U.S. have some form of a tree code. Portlanders (Oregonians for that matter) love their trees. Portland is known for its large expanse of trees growing along streets and streams, in parks and

Fox announced today that Ellen DeGeneres has decided to step down from her role as a judge on American Idol. DeGeneres joined the panel in its ninth season.

I cannot remember the last time I've posted under my real identity, partly because the craziness of maintaining urbanMamas and partly because it feels a bit more "safe" posting just as urbanMamas. It's a bit more anonymous, you know? So...
When I began to imagine a little patio out in front, and when I was working away on the mosaic and when the rain filled up the hole and it was nothing but a mud patch and a pile of paving blocks, and then the tree fell and it seemed like we were never going to get that little patio built, I kept this picture in my mind. And

The big girls are quite steady on their bikes now, so I threw the youngest on the back of the Xtracycle tonight and took them all to the park. They played, and I ran/walked the walking/jogging trail. I’m continuing on to Day 6 and beyond – is anyone else ready to post a comment or [...]

BOURBONNAIS —” In the middle of what could have been Lovie Smith’s last annual overly optimistic state-of-the-Bears address to open training camp Thursday, he was asked how the lessons of three straight playoff-less seasons may help prevent a fourth. Good question. Odd answer. “Those years you talked abo

I had driven past Normal, Illinois many times before. Hell, half the country has – it’s at the crossroads of I-55 and I-74. I had only seen the town from the interstate until my first show there almost 10 years ago. My first 12 hours or so in Normal were worrisome. Crumbling streets, closed restaurants and [...]

For the third time, and to pretty limited degrees, this week I pondered a question of historiographical concerns.
