Someone in a blue labcoat just wheeled an electrostatic cart past my office door. On the cart was a mewing cardboard box. … The hardware design lab now appears to be part kennel. A cat is in there hiding behind a curtain of CAT-5 cables. I think this is the day in which we hope … Continue reading This is shaping up to be a weird morning

Players
Our company Christmas party was at Players whose motto (and web address) is “Eat, Drink, Bowl, Play.” Players itself is a fairly new addition to Lake Oswego and while it really tries to look like it’s a chain similar to Dave and Buster’s (“a Chuck E.
