Keep Portland Weird! I couldn’t resist making this piece about Portland’s creative, whimsical spirit—even in protest. We’re not a war zone, just a weird, wonderful city speaking up with heart. There’s more power in joy than in any act of anger. ✨🐸✨ #portlandoregon #keepportlandweird

Let’s get spooky.

My hot take has been that Alien is the best Thanksgiving movie. Everyone gathers around a big table, eats a giant meal of random foods, there’s an awkward convo about wages/politics, and no one wants to talk about the family drama (alien on ship).

The first version of Microsoft Windows came out the year I graduated from high school.

In the summer of 1977 a good share of my personal wealth shifted from investing in the Mars Corporation to acquiring as many of these as possible.
