In the Slog, writer Dominic Holden writes about numbers and what they indicate, or don’t, about public priorities.

On our lawn about ten minutes ago. They weren't going at it very hard; just rattling their racks. It's 90 in the shade and they were panting like dogs. After a minute or two they gave up and headed down to the river. There's a nice cool bar down there where they can have a drink and a swim.
Everybody loves a parade, and this year we were smack d

Labor Day weekend begins tomorrow afternoon in the U.S. It’s the traditional end-of-summer holiday, and most folks will get Monday off as a paid holiday. My own vacation is going to be a bit different: I’m going to take tomorrow off instead. This will be the last post until Sunday evening. But as always when I t

I am tired of being unemployed and I am tired of looking for a job. It's not that I am worn out physically, it's that I have not had any real positive results (like an interview, or even an indication of interest) in quite a while. So I decided I needed another approach. I'm a smart guy, let's go talk to the movers and shak

I ventured out on my lunch break to do some tests with my new Digital Harinezumi 2. I really like the old school feel to the video. I stripped the audio out because it was a windy day. I’m still exploring ways to hold and move the camera that make the footage feel more aged [...]

Political prognosticator Charlie Cook has moved the Oregon Governor's race from "leans Democratic" to "tossup". I'm not a subscriber to Cook's report, so I haven't yet read Cook's analysis because it's behind the subscription wall. Very not awesome for Team K
August this year was sweltering. Both in terms of weather and local startup news. But some of the most interesting stories revolved around some of our more regular topics around here: open source and, well, beer. But those aren’t the only topics that struck your fancy last month.

I mention “NVC” sometimes. Along with Zen and a few other things, it has informed my daily practice, and feels like a big part of who I am. Sometimes I hear curiosity about what it is, so I thought I’d try to talk about it a little. I can describe what it is pretty quickly, [...]

This curious lady has taken one of my favorite Beach Boys songs, which is probably found on countless compilations made for pre-schoolers, and made it feel strange and dirty. Why does she eat the celery like that? Why does she make those seductive faces? Was that her I saw on one of those late night TV commercials, askin
