It’s September! The pattern for the Breezy Market Tote is now available. I really enjoyed designing this for Twisted‘s Single Skein Club. It’s a quick knit that features a provisional cast on and a three needle bind off. Don’t be …

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Maybe it's giving up on coffee, which seems to have reduced my overall background anxiety level; maybe it's because I've started to see a naturopath and she's started me on some supplements which target stress; or maybe it's also the approach of fall signaled by the short

This past week I had an online conversation with Michael Brendan Dougherty of The American Conservative on Bloggingheads.tv regarding comprehensive immigration reform. Part of that conversation is being featured today on The New York Times website. Check it out.

Reel maintenance…ugh. Those pesky maintenance reminders. Like changing furnace filters, vehicle oil changes or annual physical exams, they should not be put off…  A little preventative maintenance will pay dividends in the long run. If you are a stillwater angler you probably have more than a floating line. The

As you've most likely noticed by my not infrequent posts about the weather, this is a subject matter that interests me greatly. Part of it has to do with the mysterious forces involved; Mother Nature is difficult to pin down! Another part of it has to do with numbers -- anything that can be categorized or analyzed vi

My 15th season with the Oregon Symphony begins today, so what better way to celebrate the occasion than by creating a little latte art? And don’t forget, you can still support the Oregon Symphony’s trip Carnegie Hall by buying Badbeard’s delicious Symphony Blend coffee!

I’m playing around with some diagrams for explaining MVCC that I’ll be posting here over the next few days. Not sure if I’ll end up giving up on slides and just use a whiteboard for the talk. I made an illustrated shared buffers deck to go along with Greg Smith’s excellent talk on shared buffers [...

Dang, that's a lot of bud.

Consider the source, I guess. We at the Victoria Taft Show have enjoyed playing excerpts from this Bus Project event at Portland's Grant High School for a couple of days. Isn't it nice to know what your Congressman thinks about people who gathered to pray for their country to "Restore Honor?" He thinks you're a weasel. Havi

Mind-reading trio foretold Portland’s dance future. [DIRTY DANCING] Anyone who has ever heard the slinky, aggressive confidence of one of Strength’s “love jams,” or caught the Portland synth-disco trio at one of its too few and far between local shows, would expect its members to be cocksure, strutt
