Bike to work on a cargo bike? Bike to work on a cargo bike?

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Last Friday was bike to national bike to work day. I did take the tall bike down to the convention center, where I was attending a conference, but it wasn’t really “to work”. In fact, since the move last month, I haven’t manage to ride the full route… We now live on the opposite end […]

Some light yard work Some light yard work

Monday, May 17th, 2010

We have been in our new home just over a month, and the time seemed right for a little destruction. To the right you will see my lovely, partner with her new, favorite toy: a Bobcat Mini Track Loader with the largest trenching attachment that we could rent. It is a rental from Portland Rent-All […]

Nagmay wedding Nagmay wedding

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Well this is embarrassing … I was going through the unpublished drafts on my blog and realized that I never posted anything about the wedding. Which happened last July! Sure, everyone who got an invitation knows about wedding.nagmay.com, but it still seems like I should have a reference here. + I just uploaded the official […]

You might have noticed that we like to brew up some beer from time to time. One of the more expensive ingredients for home brew is hops (Humulus lupulus). It is added for the bitter and aroma qualities that help to offset the malty/sweet flavors that form during the brewing process. Without it, beer would […]

I am stuck in my cube today. However, my father was “nice enough” to send me some photos that he took today during a walk at the 1000 acres wilderness area. Just thought that I would share for all those others stuck inside today…

One of my favorite blogs: boingboing asked for a critique of a logo change. My 2¢’s? The new logo looses a visual bouncing reference created by the letter height and whitespace. See what I mean below: Also, the before conforms to a smaller grid of pixels 7×45 if I’m not mistaken. The after would take […]

Our good friends Bryan and Sou had a second wedding this weekend. The first one was a summer event on the Oregon coast. This one was held in Tacoma near Sou’s family and included many Laotian traditions. Unfortunately, my camera didn’t do very well in the given lighting. Some of the photos are blurry and […]

Owls have crazy eyes Owls have crazy eyes

THIS. From owl in box [Reynen’s Livejournal] via BoingBoing: Well… It reminded me of this picture that I never got around to posting. It was taken last summer on our first attempt to react the Bull of the Woods fire tower. We were cutting away logs to slowly advance up this dirt road, when all […]
