Week in Review

Everyone is writing “year in review” posts, but it has been a long enough time since I blogged anything of substance that I need to make a week-in-review post. Yesterday, I spent a half-day at work to tie up some year-end loose ends. We’re trying to ship a single unit of a newly released device … Continue reading Week in Review

Ebenezer’s Snow Failure

Ebenezer’s previous day in the snow, back in 2005, was fun but uneventful. He went out in the snow, which was only a centimeter or two deep, wandered around, then returned.

Here they are: * City of Portland Street Closures and Restrictions * Department of Transportation trip-check * … Continue reading Portland Snow

“You’ve got your knob in my tube.” “No, you’ve got your tube in my knob.”

Today was a white Christmas! ’round about noon, it started snowing for a few hours. These photos were pretty early in the snowiness. Later, it rained and washed the snow away (and probably a few itsy bitsy spiders, too.) i have completed gutting the non-load-bearing things from the basement. (As a sidebar, every time I … Continue reading “You’ve got your knob in my tube.” “No, you’ve got your tube in my knob.”
