I believe it was my business partner Jessica who first said the word Pinterest out loud. I asked what she was referring to and I was shown this odd website that looked like a mix between an ad agency’s mood wall and some gal’s “vision board”. I joked that I hadn’t heard of Pinterest, but [...]
A new year means it’s time for new goals – or more importantly, a new goals project! Those who read my blog regularly will recall that last year, inspired by a friend who set out to perform 100 goals in 100 days, I began a project to complete 50 goals in the first quarter. The [...]
Last night marked the end of daylights savings time, and as such, our clocks were moved back one hour. When I was a kid, I recall quite a bit of effort taking place to make this happen, as my parents would have to manually change each clock in the house by hand. I [...]
Has it really been almost two months since I’ve written a blog post? My dear, faithful readers – my sincerest apologies, but your humble narrator has been rather busy carving out an entirely new life in which to live – and thus has been unable to find the time to document this transformation, or comment on [...]
Bob Dylan turns 70 this month and tributes are pouring in from around the world. I figured it was only appropriate that I take a moment to put down some thoughts on the man who I point to as the most influential person in my life (parents not included of course).

I didn’t grow up in Portland, Oregon. The first two thirds of my life were spent on the east side of America – and I’m not certain I had even heard of a place called Portland before some friends and I decided to move here. As such, what little knowledge I possess of the history [...]
Well three months have come and gone – and the first quarter is officially over as of Friday. Phase 1 of the goals project is complete, and while I’m disappointed with my performance in some areas, I’m pretty psyched about how well I did in other areas. Overall, I would say I did “good” – [...]
There are three forms of knowledge in this world. That which we know, that which we realize we don’t know, and that which we don’t even know we don’t know. It is the third realm, that which we don’t know we don’t know that is the largest of the three. For all the information we [...]
I was talking with my friend Rachel, and she was explaining she spends more and more time reading blogs these days. It’s not particularly surprising. ”Blog” is really one of those non-words, because it attempts to explain far too large a category. There are an endless variety of blogs out there, from the informative to [...]
