My brother sent me this video the other day, and it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in awhile (you have to be nerdy to really appreciate it though): Leeroy Jenkins (Windows Media File, 5MB). I’ve been laughing over it for days. It’s a clip from the World of WarCraft multiplayer online game, of a group… Continue reading Leeroy Jenkins!

More indications blogging is getting mainstream
Today’s hint that blogging is gradually getting mainstream comes from an article in this month’s Realtor Magazine titled, “Blogging for profit“. It was pointed out to me here at work (since I work for a builder, with real estate agents coming and going). There’s nothing new here, it’s just another introductory article, though there’s an… Continue reading More indications blogging is getting mainstream
Shoe trees
Pril is wondering what the deal is with shoe trees. I’ve been curious about that myself, since seeing one on my Walla Walla trip. I know of two (that I’ve seen personally): the one I just mentioned, on highway 97 south of Grass Valley, I believe, and north of Shaniko, and another one on highway… Continue reading Shoe trees
Back from vacation
Yep, home again, home again. Actually we got home yesterday (Sunday), but it’s taken me two days just to get started catching up on email and stuff. Anyway, it was one hell of a vacation! Internet access was spotty to none for most of the trip (you could pay 50 cents a minute for access… Continue reading Back from vacation
The Vacation
Wednesday (today, even though it’s only 12:30 am) is the start of our big vacation: 12 days worth. It’s the longest vacation we’ve had in… ever, maybe. So my offline status may extend a bit, even though we’re taking the laptop with us. Though with internet access, who knows… What are we doing? Well, prepare… Continue reading The Vacation
Going offline
Starting tomorrow (er, today… Friday), I’m gonna be offline. We’re going camping for the family reunion all weekend. It’ll be nice to unplug for a while. And nice to be camping, too. It’s one of those things I really like to do, but only ever do it once a year—yep, at the family reunion. Which… Continue reading Going offline
Bluefish Bistro
We ate at Bluefish Bistro (no website that I see; instead here’s a link to The Source’s dining guide entry) in Downtown Bend last Saturday (my wife and I), and yes, I’m just now getting around to writing about it. Bluefish is one of the newest restaurants in the current trend of upscale, fine dining… Continue reading Bluefish Bistro
Central Oregon dinosaur
This article in the Bulletin Monday caught my eye: Dinosaur discovery. Part of a plesiosaur was unearthed over near Prineville last summer: The self-trained paleontologists found what is believed to be the first remains of a marine reptile called the plesiosaur that has been found in the Pacific Northwest. It is also thought to be… Continue reading Central Oregon dinosaur
Walla Walla
I’m in Walla Walla tonight, on the road for work. My company purchased a house up here and needed to get a computer and WiFi set up. It’s kind of a cool deal, the house is available to employees spending time up here—business takes a priority, but it’s open to anyone who wants to take… Continue reading Walla Walla
Deschutes County Fair
Spent half a day Saturday at the county fair, which was both good and bad. The bad part was that it was hot—damn hot—and expensive. The good part is that it’s the Fair and we had fun—and we got there when they opened so we didn’t have to deal with the crowds and lines like… Continue reading Deschutes County Fair
