Metaphysical Music

Last week I was at the Woods in Sellwood again (see the blog archive), this time for In the Cooky Jar, a monthly soul DJ dance night. DJ Cooky (also of Loch Lomond and Y La Bamba fame) played tons of rare cuts from his 45 collection. Six days later I went to the University [...]

San Francisco
03/10/2011
I went down to San Francisco to work at Webtrends’ Engage conference last week, and I got there a day early so I could explore the city a little. It was my third S.F. experience, but it had been 10 years since last time, and nearly 5 before that. One of the first places I [...]

Play at Engage
03/07/2011
Webtrends hosted a huge Digital Marketing convention in San Francisco last week. To show how companies can use Mobile and Social media to engage with people we created a mobile game called Play at Engage – kind of a cross between Foursquare and Flickr. The goal was to go around taking pictures of things and [...]

Pie Charts and Bar Graphs
01/13/2011
In my opinion charts and graphs only barely qualify as Graphic Design. They’re the step-cousins of infographics and are rarely interesting for observers or designers. Nonetheless I made some recently to show how various products, companies, and celebrities were getting hyped at the Consumer Electronics Show. They got picked up and published on the LA [...]

More Storefront Art
01/13/2011
An interesting new store has popped up on Mississippi Street recently. The display window has an actual stuffed bear cub who seems to be watching paper snowflakes fall from the ceiling. Inside the have all kinds of weird things: taxidermied animals, sea stars and shells, glass eyes…. It’s all very intriguing and more than a [...]

Storefront Art

Portland doesn’t like to have empty storefronts during the holidays, so some of the buildings unoccupied buildings have art installations in the windows. Here are 2 interesting ones I found:

Webtrends
12/06/2010
I’ve started working on Webtrends’ brand marketing team. I’m really excited about working downtown again. We’re right near pioneer square, and both of the big food cart pods. I won’t ever have to drive to work because I can bus, Max, or ride my bike. One of the coolest things about Webtrends, though, is the [...]

Narnian Lamppost
11/20/2010
Every time I see this lamppost on the south side of Mt. Tabor it reminds me of the one where Lucy meets Tumnus the faun when she goes through the wardrobe. The illusion is spoiled a bit by the graffiti, but for graffiti it’s pretty interesting.

X-Men Halloween
11/10/2010
I went to the Hanford Howl ultimate frisbee tournament on Halloween weekend. My friends and I dressed up like X-Men. I dressed up as Beast, but I don’t have any good pictures of myself. However, I did Photoshop a picture of my friends Dale and Nate dressed like Wolverine and Cyclops, so they look like [...]

Sellwood Boxcar
11/09/2010
I was walking around Sellwood the other day and was surprised to find that the railroad tracks run right between a sub-division and a country club down on SE 13th Avenue. I think of Sellwood as one of the more ritzy parts of town, with a lot of fancy restaurants and antique stores. I never [...]
