We were followed by at least one videographer at all times - between all the cameras we had on us, there must be hundreds of hours of footage. Lancome condensed it into this:

This was sent to me by Lizzy Caston, an Ohio native who has worked for years as an urban planner in Portland.

This isn’t just a phone. It also features a 5 megapixel camera with […]

I have absolutely no problem with this. If you do, I’d love to hear why.

I’m pro-choice, believing as I do in an individual’s inherent right to ownership of his or her own body. [I’m not going to debate abortion here, though.]
That said, there is something deeply disturbing about Bill Clinton haranguing anyone to “Tell the truth,” and claiming that he and his wife are valiant defenders of individual rights. […]

Lunch at Green Papaya
Originally uploaded by dynamist.
Fake flowers, taken at Green Papaya over lunch with a friend. I really like the restaurant. My only disappointment was that there is a noticeable amount of sugar in the green Thai curry sauce. American food just tends to be sweeter in general, but this was too much for […]

5chw4r7z has done me the favor of having a go already. He covers most of my frustrations.
So here’s what happened: I had a very important appointment. I needed to be there by 6PM, and the Metro website told me that if I caught the bus from Government Square at 5.10PM, I’d be at my […]

I’m missing London an awful lot the last few days. Knowing that I am missing out on conversations like this one, at my friend Christian Michel’s next 6/20 evening, doesn’t help.
Religions teach it (think Shiva, the god of destruction and regeneration; Dionysus, the god of fertility, who borders on death; Jesus, who preached that if […]

Taylor in the comments to this post on the latest evil detected by the holier-than-thou - bottled water:

Pig ears
Originally uploaded by dynamist.
I don’t recommend going into Eckerlin Meats at Findlay Market unless you want to become extremely ravenous. I don’t know what they were cooking in there, but it smelled so good even the copious amounts of pig extremities on display couldn’t stop me from drooling. Blake has the full rundown on […]

There are some seriously stunning paintings in the Fifteeen Years Later exhibition at the Collector’s Art Group downtown - check out a selection here. This one is a painting by Jon J. Muth, who is perhaps most well known for his work as a comic artist (for Neil Gaiman and […]

I want to go to this SO badly. (I can think of someone else who would probably be up for it, too.) If you live in Portland, please go so I can live vicariously through you. Thanks.
