Draplin: Why America is Fucked

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:54:21 -0700

Draplin shares an anecdote that explains why he thinks America is fucked when it comes to design. With the example he gives, I couldn’t agree more.

There’s a lot of cussin’ in this video, so those of you with delicate ears be aware.

Linsey Ann

Last weekend Leah did a photo shoot for our friend Linsey Ann’s designs. Jess P. and Jess R. modeled the designs while I got to be the man-prop (Yeah!). We had a ton of fun and it was a beautiful day to take photos. Check ‘em out here.

This is just a preview of what’s to come from Linsey as she’s preparing to get her designs into Portland stores. There will hopefully be more from her real soon.

Ultimate Warrior Slim Jim Commercial (via rockygotfingered)

There are so many memories related to this commercial. I’d see this every Saturday morning while I ate lunch at my grandmother’s house. After I went bowling in the morning, of course.

Guitarist of megalomaniacal speed seeks audience who won't combust - best of craigslist

Guitarist of megalomaniacal speed seeks audience who won't combust - best of craigslist:

“I seek a woman of no flimsy construction who can tolerate the cyclone of death that my guitar will unleash upon her. Think about the scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the Holy Spirit (or whatever the hell that poorly rendered gaseous conglomerate was supposed to be) ravaged the Nazis by melting their flesh from their mortal bones. This is what my guitar playing does, except there is only vapor left, no bones. I cannot stress this enough: I will play guitar so fast the Earth will be rent asunder and armies of hellions will spew forth to wreak havoc upon the human population.”

Thanks for the link, Null

War between bikes and cars? Not in Portland

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 13:26:35 -0700

War between bikes and cars? Not in Portland:

After the recent incidents on our streets (this one in particular) I’m a little more tense/aware when I ride to and from work. When I hear stories about drivers being aggressive towards bikers and vice-versa I get a little nervous and worked up about the bike vs. car issue. That’s when I need to remind myself that I’m actually treated very well on the streets as I ride and I do my best to return the favor while driving. Share the Road :)

Twice in the last month, a car has taken a right turn over a bike lane without signaling and while I was in said bike lane one car-length back. Both times I was forced to stop abruptly, ready to scream or at least flip the bird. However, I held back and just pedaled harder to work out that frustration. It’s just a driver, people make mistakes. I can only hope that the driver saw me and will be more aware next time. I’m lucky so far.

It’s like what Portland Police Officer Pickett says in the article, “Apologies are beautiful.”
