On Sunday we’ll be heading up to Portland to see Bon Jovi in concert at the Rose Garden. Yes, we’ve done this before (warning: I sound like a drooling fanboy in that post). Anyway, we’re casting about for something to do Sunday after we get to Portland… we’ll be seeing some friends, probably, and of… Continue reading Going to Portland to see Bon Jovi

Poll: site redesign?
Since I’m tired of waiting on Simone for a new site design :), I thought I’d start playing around with it myself. It’s just high time things got refreshed around here. So, I thought I’d run my early attempts by everyone, and ask a few questions. The big change is converting the site to a… Continue reading Poll: site redesign?
Chuck Norris facts
There’s a whole bunch of stuff I’ll bet you never knew about Chuck Norris. Guns don’t kill people. Chuck Norris kills people. There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits. Chuck Norris doesn’t read books. He stares them down until… Continue reading Chuck Norris facts

(Granted, I really don’t each too much junk food these days. Bear with me.) Doritos. Love ’em. The original nacho cheese flavor is… Continue reading Mardi Gras meme
Bend tees
This idea seems like a natural: a blog spotlighting funny Bend-related T-shirts. All locally designed and offered via CafePress. I wish I’d thought of it first.
Trivia Bee
Last night we did something different (and fun): we went out to the Tower Theatre and I participated in The Education Foundation‘s Trivia Bee. Sadly, our team didn’t make the best showing; of the 12 questions we had (there were 12 questions per round, and six rounds, with seven different three-person teams per round), we… Continue reading Trivia Bee
Anagram map of Downtown Bend
Inspired of late by Boing Boing’s pointers to subway maps that have been remixed to used anagrammed names, I thought it would be fun to do the same with Bend. Only, Bend doesn’t have a subway (or any mass transit, grrr), so I did the next best thing: remixed the map of downtown. The only… Continue reading Anagram map of Downtown Bend

The 10 best sci-fi films that never existed
I just had to point to this: The Top Ten Sci-Fi Films That Never Existed. You gotta love it when he opens the Star Wars section with: Everyone remembers the exact moment when they realized that their Phanom Menace sandwich was filled with shit. For me, it was the scene on Tatooine where Qui-Gon is… Continue reading The 10 best sci-fi films that never existed
