Hint: Oregon isn’t one of them.

Housing market shift: 9 states where buyers are quickly gaining power

Super impressed by Caltrain in the Bay Area! Wish Portland had something similar for certain routes. And no, Wes isn’t the same.

Is In-N-Out’s name intentionally ironic?

So far, San Jose feels a lot like a mix between Lloyd Center and Skidmore Fountain area, if that tells you anything. Looking forward to making larger concentric circles tomorrow in hopes of improveming perceptions.

Finally getting to see the PDX airport renovation in person. #portland

Meeting up with my old college roommate this week who works at Rivian. My six-year-old son made me promise to ask him why their trucks don’t have games in them. Priorities!

Shout out to the neurodivergent folks who make things happen in spite of the world. Sometimes I look back at the gauntlet I just made it through, grateful someone told me it wasn’t possible.

Do you want to know why most affordable housing projects are less than 5 stories? Prevailing wages requirements from DBRA and BOLI. #pdx #oregon

Lawmakers Spar With BOLI Over Wages on Housing Jobs

Picked up a new sling ahead of my trip to California this week. It’s the Pakt 5L Everyday. So far I’m really enjoying it and think it will be the perfect size for a personal item carry-on bag. PS, I have a loose itinerary later this week in Silicon Valley if anyone wants to grab lunch or go hiking.

Terribly saddened to learn of my cousin Garwood’s passing today. I will miss his caring positivity and sense of humor. Rest easy.

Checking out the excellent Lire RSS reader on iOS. Tremendous bargain for $9.99.

Feeling fully myself again after replenishing my pizza stores at Mucca. The North and South is one of our faves. The honey chili bruschetta is decent, too. 🤌

Bold claim, but cute nevertheless.

When the in-mirror lighting at the dermatologist is on point. Felt cute, might delete later lol.

#GhostCMS has got to be working on an iOS app, right? Adding #ActivityPub doesn’t make sense to me otherwise. The social feeds and discoverability in the Wordpress and Substack apps are what set them apart and make them enjoyable to use. PWAs don’t cut it in this sphere.

Kind of want a Land Cruiser 70 series, but I guess they need to be 25 years old before you can import them due to federal motor vehicle safety standards. The design hasn’t changed all that much since then. Love the boxy look.

I breezed by 48 hours so I just kept going. Felt good for the most part, but I was ready to be done by the 70-hour mark. Probably will stick to two days from here on out.
