I had hinted a while back about a new project I was starting, and I think it’s time to launch and announce it. It’s a new blog called Hack Bend, and it’s purpose is to be an insider’s guide to Bend and Central Oregon. (In fact, the tagline I have on it right now is… Continue reading My new blog launch: Hack Bend

Growing Up in Central Oregon: Introduction
This is a series I’ve been mulling over for a while now and even at one point promised Simone I would write. I’ve been wanting to write it partly because I think the perspective of growing up in rural Central Oregon is unique, and partly because I think there’s some good stories to tell. So… Continue reading Growing Up in Central Oregon: Introduction
I used to drink there!
One of the Flickr feeds I’m subscribed to is photos tagged with “Spokane,” since we lived up there for a few years a decade ago. One of the photos that showed up tonight is here: a tavern I used to drink at named Snoops. Yeah, it was kind of a dive, but what are you… Continue reading I used to drink there!
The Skittles beard commercial
Okay, just a little while ago I saw the creepiest, randomest commercial for Skittles ever… I won’t even pretend to try to understand it… Anyone else seen it? Basically, a guy with a weird, long (like, three-feet-plus long) beard is at a job interview, and the beard is moving like an elephant’s trunk, feeding the… Continue reading The Skittles beard commercial
2005 Chuggnutt Zeitgeist
It’s time for another edition of the Chuggnutt Zeitgeist, in the spirit of Google and since I did one last year. Interesting stuff, if you’re into blogs and stats and such. On to it!

Ten rules for web startups
Evan Williams has posted Ten Rules for Web Startups that’s sure to generate a lot of linkage and conversation. (He’s the guy that created Blogger.) Very good stuff. And laced with irony; like so: Get a good, non-generic name. Easier said than done, granted. But the most common mistake in naming is trying to be… Continue reading Ten rules for web startups
RSS advertising
I noticed the other day that a couple of the RSS feeds I follow had advertising items in them. Not ads attached to items in the feed, like many sites are doing these days, but ads that were the entire item. The title looked something like “(Advertisement) Web Hosting” and the text was a blurb… Continue reading RSS advertising
15-pound burger
This is crazy; a 15 pound hamburger is being offered free to any two people who can eat the entire thing in one three-hour sitting. the “Beer Barrel Belly Buster” weighs in with 10 pounds of meat molded into a 20-inch patty on a specially baked, 17-inch bun. The balance of the weight comes from… Continue reading 15-pound burger
Fireball
My dad clued me in to this: Fireball sighted over Pacific Northwest. A fireball streaked through the night sky across the western half of the Pacific Northwest on Saturday, startling people all the way from southern Oregon to the Seattle area. Scientists said the fireball was probably a meteor, and that it likely disintegrated just… Continue reading Fireball
New Bend.com
I’ve noticed over the past few days that Bend.com finally has that new design Barney was talking about back around the end of the year. Overall, I think it looks 1000% better than before, albeit not quite perfect (the RSS feed appears to be broken, no user comments at the bottom of the articles…). However.… Continue reading New Bend.com
