Does anyone in #PDX have an Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter that I could borrow for a few days? I need to rescue data from an old hard drive that is firewire. #Portland

Are there any New Yorkers here who know where I might have taken this photo? I can't figure it out. It's probably somewhere close to Penn Station, around 34th. I might be wrong, though. #NYC #NewYork #Manhattan

August 2004, twenty years ago in Portland. John Kerry was campaigning. A lot of people showed up for that.

A large crowd of John Kerry supporters is gathered on Portland's waterfront to hear him speak.

Our backyard has been devoid of bees this year, and it's a very noticeable change. I think I have spotted three bees. In a typical year, we'd have countless visitors to our fruit trees and rose bushes. I'm seriously considering hosting a bee hive—it's time to do some research.

As if an interstate five closure isn’t enough, the Hood River is now closed indefinitely too.

Two photographs of the Portland Streetcar at SW Park and Mill Street fourteen years apart. It's a different perspective, as nature has taken over the part where I stood in 2010. I'm sure I'll return soon. #photography #portland

Tom Robbins wrote this 44 years ago: “… I’m not so far gone that I expect technologists to be interested in designing machines for artists—why, if novelists got wooden typewriters, poets would demand that theirs be ice. What is more likely is that technology will bypass artists, that a day is coming when our novels will be written by computers, the same devices that will paint our murals and compose our tunes. …” from Still Life With Woodpecker.
