  • Might be a little late to get before the big day, but if anyone is looking for a nice little gift, I love my Fox Vulpis Italian made Swiss Army knife. A little spendy, but the blade is M390. Comes in a 5-in-1 configuration, too.

    A multifunction pocket knife with a folding blade and various tools is laid open on a wooden surface.

  • Probably some lingering Proustian childhood memory, but sometimes I just need a damn bologna sandwich with a slice of American cheese.

  • My deadbeat dad would’ve been 66 today had he not wrapped himself around a telephone pole while driving drunk in 2003. Be safe this holiday season.

  • It only cost $11-20 per package to mail my wife’s homemade gifts that have a total retail value of maybe $3 each.

  • I don’t understand this stuff. After over $700k and years of studying the TriMet Willow Creek site for potential transit oriented development (TOD), ECOnorthwest and architecture firms come back with a squat, over-parked development proposal despite no parking being required in Metro Portland.

  • The most unbelievable thing about movies and TV shows set in the 80s is how many fathers were still around.

  • Watching Silo on Apple TV be like…

  • Not sure why I had completely forgotten about the Sidecar option with iPad. Really helped while working in Smartsheet this morning.

  • Went and visited Santa at Three Mugs Pub.

    A child is hugging someone dressed as Santa Claus in a festive setting.A person dressed as Santa Claus is leaning against a wall, with a graffiti-style background.

  • Got out by myself for a few hours this afternoon. Had to take some books back, so I checked out the Hillsdale branch of Multnomah County Library. Stopped off at Tip Top Burger (meh), then worked on my blog for a bit at Lucky Lab SW.

  • Making cookies.

  • Those wooden handled, soft-bristled back scrubbers for the shower are such a tease. Give me one of those cheap plastic ones with the tough nylon bristles that hurt so good.

  • Columbia River at dinner last night.

    A forested landscape features a winding road with a distant view of a lake and mountains under a cloudy sky.

  • Nice sunset despite a mucky day.

    A forest landscape is silhouetted against a golden sunset.

  • Addictive.

  • Obsessed with his knockoff Lego advent calendar.
