Positive Post Tuesday “Brian”

So this week I’m going to tell you about a guy I met the third week I moved to Portland. Brian was my boss or you could say forman at Coast Pavement Services. Him and I ran the paver together making roads, we also smashed a lot of stuff together. Those were good times.

Brian is one of those guys that can get along with just about anyone and he’s good at being social, which makes for an interesting time in public. We had a lot of good time together and even though we really didn’t get to hang out that much outside of work (cause he lives 50mi from portland) he was definitely my friend and not my ‘Boss‘.

Work is Work and there is always something to bitch about, something is always going wrong and thats just the way it is. Brian took the stress out of that negative mind frame of work. Thats hard to find in a forman. And a good quality in a friend.

Im going to miss him and all the crazy things we did at work. So if your ever in Washington and you meet a Brian that looks like this ↓ be sure to say something stupid about Longview. That will get his attention…!

Brian is the one standing by the truck, Mike the driver is another story….

Adobe Illustrator rules…

Adobe Illustrator. This is one of my favorite programs ever!!! I spent the day working on a design that needed some vector love. It’s been a while since I even opened this program, and now I remember how much there is to do and create. (oh, how I miss it)

I’m not sure if most of you are familiar with this Program, but it’s a vector based application. Basically it’s mathematical equations using anchor points and [...] Read More

Woopra!!!

Woopra is a must see for anyone that is interested in stats. Shoot even if you’re not interested in your stats it’s still cool. The online version is fairly normal by all standard; Google, WordPress, maybe even Mint. (though I haven’t seen Mint yet) The basic info is this. Standard Membership, Standard Script copy and paste, then it’s who, where, how long, from where and everything else you can think of.

Yeah, yeah, nothing new. I’ll [...] Read More

Roo Ray !!!

So here we go again. A few new things to look at and some things that are always around. I hope everyone doesn’t mind, but i like to use this place a sort of a testing ground for new ideas that i have. Design, Concepts, Form and Function.

There is a little bit of Visual Updates, I tried to keep things similar and build off what I already have. Most of the Update is in the [...] Read More

The Office

So, Jenny and I found out today that The Office has been on for the last 4 weeks or so. Didn’t know that…

I really like this show. I would even watch it by myself. It kinda makes you embarrassed for the characters in a way. You almost feel bad for them when stupid things start to happen. It’s great. [...] Read More

Pan & Lyra

Jenny’s cats are pissed off at each other. Well, probably not, but they arnt getting along very well. Lyra got sick earlier this week and I had to take her to the Vet. Now that she’s back Pan doesnt like her very much. We’ve done this before and it lasted about 3Day.

It sucks because Pan tries to swipe at Lyra and gets damn close to hurting her. I’ve been trying to keep them somewhat under [...] Read More

VC3.o Comming Soon

So what does this mean? This UpGrade is the content behind the scenes kind. The Visuals here may change very little, but the structure is going to be cleaned up and made ready to handle content in a different way. I have had a few comments and emails about Themes and Wordpress, so, I am developing a page to handle those topics. There are other ideas in the meat grinder about offering WP Plugins & [...] Read More

$1000 at the Goodwill

So I had a meeting today at 12pm that I had to be at. I showed up a quarter till and found out that they had to push me back till 1:30. Not a big deal really but not enough time to walk home and walk back. So, I decided to go check out the Goodwill across the street.

Thing is I dont need anything from the Goodwill, but I like to go and check things [...] Read More

The Popes Clothes

Why is it the Pope wears the clothes that he does?

I’m sure it all traces back to the days of Rome and the beginning of the Catholic church and there are reasons for it all. I’m just wondering why does he still wear it?

Culture is an interesting beast, especially when it comes to clothes and appeariance. This is a huge topic for me, but I never mention it. I’m really interested in why society dresses [...] Read More
