« Previous EntriesThe Best Restaurant In Portland Is Acadia
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007Tonight I am going to go to Acadia to enjoy some excellent Cajun food. Cajun cooking is my favorite by far. Its spicy and greasy and combines flavors perfectly. Acadia is a small little restaurant in Portland on NE 13th and Fremont.
I usually get the Pasta Jambalaya. I wish they offered a regular jambalaya [...]
Off To Portland
Monday, June 25th, 2007I am headed to Portland this week. I leave tomorrow morning way too early. I wish I had scheduled a later flight. Getting to the airport at 6:00am is not going to put me in high spirits. I am covering for some guy at work while he is on vacation, so I am going to [...]

Photographing The Wildlife From My Window
Monday, June 18th, 2007I just moved in to my new place on Friday. Saturday I was looking out my window, when I saw one of these.
Unfortunately, my tiny cellphone camera could not capture a great image, but at least I can present proof that what I originally had thought was a rare sighting when I lived in Oregon [...]
Stinky Movers
Saturday, June 16th, 2007Yesterday I had to move. As you know, Arizona is blazes hot in the summer. I think yesterday it was 110 degrees. I looked on Craigslist for some help which was the best decision I could have made given the circumstances. Carrying heavy furniture up and down stairs in 110 degree heat isn’t exactly fun.
The [...]
The Wingman’s Handbook!
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007There comes a time in every young man’s life when he has to step up to the plate and go to bat for his buddy. Yes I am talking about “grenade duty” or “wingmaning”.
A friend of mine sent me this quality handbook for Wingmen. If I were you I would print it off and pass [...]
Listasaurus Is Just Asking For Abuse
Monday, June 11th, 2007I ran across this site today. Its called Listasaurus and it appears to be an up and coming competitor to craigslist. They have an interesting promotion strategy of paying you $0.25 to list your item for sale. Why not? I don’t know how much traffic this site gets, but I wonder if there is a [...]
Get More Out Of Your Cell Phone
Sunday, June 10th, 2007Since I have been trying to write a post here almost everyday, sometimes I run out of ideas. I know, I know… You thought the wheels were always spinning. Well even I sometimes draw a blank. Recently however I discovered a simple trick. When I am out running around and something occurs to me that [...]
Subway Sure Is Stingy With The Meatballs
Thursday, June 7th, 2007One of the most annoying things I run into when going out for lunch is when the zero working at Subway counts out the appropriate number of meatballs for a sandwich. I am sure that he had to watch about 14 corporate training videos telling him the appropriate amount of ingredients to use for each [...]

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007Today I ran across this post on another Michael’s Freelance Writing blog. Its a pretty easy contest to enter to win an $80 TV tuner. In fact I am writing this post to count as my entry into the contest.
I see these contests running from time to time on various blogs. Forums are also [...]
