The following pictures are of fractal martinis. They are extremely poor excuses for fractal martinis, being recursive only two generations, but technically they are still fractal. They are fractal in the same way as “yo dawg, I heard you like martinis, so we put a martini in yo martini…” but I still find them entertaining. … Continue reading The fractal martinis

Yes, I can has cheezburger
I like to poke fun at Etsy. It seems that for every one reasonable product, there are thousands of crafty products that are a little too “craft.” These include items made with popsicle sticks, puffy paint, shrinky-dinks, rhinestones, and assorted garbage. I am also a big fan of Regretsy for this reason. Until recently, I … Continue reading Yes, I can has cheezburger
The Neo-Victorian Cubicle
If you’re going to do something, do it big. Make it spectacular. Whether it’s a fantastic success, an amazing effort, or an astounding failure, make it something people will talk about for a long time. A couple of weeks ago the office in which I work did a bit of a reshuffle. We ran out … Continue reading The Neo-Victorian Cubicle
The Crazy Neighbor
A couple of months ago, @geekygirldawn started up a website called The Crazy Neighbor. I guess she has a few crazy neighbors. The format of the site is like many others out there — I Can Has Cheezburger, Picture Is Unrelated, GraphJam, and so on. Users submit photos and those pictures get posted. While I … Continue reading The Crazy Neighbor
How to locate historic photos of Portland

Efiles is a City of Portland website with a database of historic records — photos, documents, recordings, maps, and other things … Continue reading How to locate historic photos of Portland
Friends & Foster Burger
I had a great dinner with great friends at Foster Burger tonight. Liam ordered a deep-fried avocado that we all split. The natural fattiness of the avocado plus the deep-frying made a concoction that was hard to eat just one slice of. There were not many main courses to choose from, but I believe our … Continue reading Friends & Foster Burger
#10yearsago, a time-lapse glimpse
There is a #10yearsago meme going around Twitter. Because I am unable to fit my response into 140 characters, you get a blog post. I was living in California in the aforementioned cottage house. I was a lot more gothic/industrial back then (at least, on the outside; I think I will always be on the … Continue reading #10yearsago, a time-lapse glimpse
What did Netninja look like in 2009?
This post is a blatant ripoff of Rick Turoczy’s Silicon Florist word cloud, but that’s how memes work, right? I made two different 2009 word clouds for Netninja: one for just titles and one for full post content. I’ll get into the “how” after the images. This first image is of just titles. I guess … Continue reading What did Netninja look like in 2009?

Norman the Terminator
Exhibit A: Ebenezer in the “Terminate Yourself” promotion earlier this year Exhibit B: Norman with his terminator haircut A big chunk of Norman’s head has been shaved clean. As best as I can tell, he got in a cat fight, but the wound got infected and abscessed, so the vet cleaned things up. In the … Continue reading Norman the Terminator
