For the first time in forever (cue the Frozen music š¶), I have a real weekly Content Production schedule for my podcast, vlog, and email newsletter! Freakinā excited right now. š
Here I am looking like a bozo, excited about the IndieWeb Summit in #portland 2019! #openweb
I donāt know what this is called, but since itās a pink fuzzball plant, Iām calling it Pink Fuzz.
Say Hi to the Fuzz.
Last weekend we took a family jaunt over to Broughton Beach. Itās on the Oregon side of the Columbia River just west of PDX airport.
Letās just say Iām a huge fan of river beaches now. You get most of the fun of the oceanside without the crazy waves and wind! (And hour+ drive from Portlandā¦)
Yo kids, this #website is now rocking a sexy new Dark Mode for you macOS (and soon iOS) fans of the dark side. Hopefully more platforms/browsers quickly adopt the CSS media queries that enable this functionality because I think itās awesome.
Itās toward the end of the blooming season at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, but even so the scenery was breathtaking. #portland #oregonexplored
Due to circumstances somewhat beyond my control, I had to upgrade my #iPhone from a 7 Plus to a XR (Coral, looks dope). The enchanced photo processing combined with the wide gamut display means photos like this really pop! I do miss the 2X zoom lens from my iPhone 7 Plus, but otherwise, the iPhone XR is a really solid product and Iām enjoying it tremendously.
Taken at Tanner Springs Park in #portland
On a family outing in #portland last weekend, we saw this classic Buick parked along the streetāgleaming in the sunlight and in absolutely imacculate condition inside and out. Now Iāve never had a particular interest in owning and maintaining classic cars, but if I didā¦Iād want this one. š
Sunset at Cannon Beach. #oregonexplored
This is my first test of the studioās new vlogging desk setup. Iāve had lots of ideas about doing product reviews, short topical monologues, narratives interspersed with travel videos, etc. I canāt wait to finish getting this all ready! #vlog
Tanner Springs: one of my favorite spots in the Pearl. A delight no matter what the season!

Continuing my series from an early February hike through the snow-frosted woods. The lantern lamps in Noble Woods Park are so-o-o cool. Just my style.

Continuing my series from an early February hike through the snow-frosted woods. I love the way this bridge looks after the newly-fallen snow! So dreamyā¦

One of my favorite #synthmusic artists is Jerome Froese, formerly of Tangerine Dream fame. He joined the group at the end of the 80s during a period of tremendous stylistic and technological change. His father Edgar originally founded TD in the late 60s, so you can imagine twenty years later there was much that was different about the āvibeā of the band (much to the chagrin of many long-time fans).
Nevertheless, I would argue and few would deny that one of the big highlights of 90s-era TD was the Dream Mixes series, principally composed and spearheaded by Jerome. Of this series, DM II is probably my favorite. Itās a heady blend of techno, drum&bass, chill, world fusion, and other styles that got big in the 90s, yet with an overall depth and sensibility that evokes the greatness of classic Berlin School electronica.
Jerome has released a newly remastered 2019 edition of Dream Mixes II, and I highly recommend it. Iām listening to it right now, and it sounds fabulous.
