My kindergartener can now count into the 100s and is starting to read. My two-year-old daughter’s language development is exploding. It’s so much fun seeing little human minds develop.
Who needs a truck, anyway?
Timing Chewy deliveries exactly to my dog’s eating habits has never happened.
Downtown Portland
Just learned about the ‘Copenhagen Left’ turn for cyclists.
Love a good weekend breakfast. I like my eggs over medium with buttered toast and raspberry jam. Hashbrowns. Descent coffee. It’s the small things.
Finally got the update with Actual Smart Summon (ASS). Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow. Teslas FSD is getting to the point where it’s safer than human drivers.
How are Portlanders feeling about this ranked choice voting ballot?

I didn’t have “peeing next to a former female supervisor” on my 2024 bingo card, but this conference at the downtown pdx Marriott has fully genderless public restrooms, and here we are.
Me, an introvert, scanning the conference agenda for sessions that don’t have audience engagement components or group work.
Tech voyeurism: getting a sneak peek of someone’s pinned web browser bookmarks before they start their presentation.
As I leave for the OR American Planning Association conference in downtown #pdx, I’m reflecting on my commute from 7 miles out, on a light rail line cities twice our size wish they had, from a suburban area with 11k people per square mile, twice the density of many urban census tracts in the U.S.
