Last night I had the privilege of seeing Paul Rusesabagina speak at Town Hall here in Seattle. Any evening is well spent when you find yourself at a loss for words in the hours afterwards. Only with time do you find yourself making sense of all that was said and felt. For [...]
I recently spent a few hours driving down my parents old I Dream of Jeannie stove to it’s new owners south of Seattle. It gave me a chance to see the mountains and forests of Washington. On the amazingly winding road I took back, I could have stopped a hundred times to take [...]
Om Malik recently posted that he believes Speakeasy sucks as a DSL provider. He canceled his service early (Speakeasy asks that you commit to their service for a year) and got hit with an early cancellation charge. No one likes swallowing such a thing, but I do have to disagree with his statement [...]

It looks like Seattle toy store Schmancy has a new website which seems to fit nicely into the Fancy Schmancy Pants trilogy (cute). If you haven’t been to the store, it’s worth a stop.

Update: Take action at 2045 Seattle to Save Your Seattle Monorail
Although I am disappointed with the results of the national election, I am proud of my new home city and state. Thank you Seattle for voting for mass transit, against a ridiculous gambling bill, and for a couple of strong women to lead us [...]
Update: Take action at 2045 Seattle to Save Your Seattle Monorail
Initiative 83, the monorail recall, is being run on a campaign of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) in the hopes of scaring you away from a project that’s been voted on three times to date and is already well under way. It’s just hilarious [...]
It would seem Washington Mutual has seen fit to tell it’s employees how to vote in a company-wide email. This is disturbing to say the least. I believe a company should encourage it’s employees to get registered and be a part of the democratic process, but telling them how to vote is simply [...]
Having just moved from New York to Seattle, I’m naturally seeking out the places and things here to make the city feel like home including good pizza (Hot Mama’s), cool umbrellas (Pare), a good watering hole (still auditioning) and places for some random fun. In New York, I would stop by Kid Robot to [...]
I spent most of the weekend walking around Seattle, getting a feel for the city itself and scouting locations to set up a life. Over at the Fremont Sunday Market, I ran into a woman selling well designed umbrellas under the name Pare Umbrellas. They looked fantastic in person. They’re designed in [...]
