my gums are bleeding
My gums are bleeding. But that’s a good thing. Because I am test-brushing a new product called the Hydrabrush. As it was explained to me, it’s like a car wash for your mouth and that seems to be true. Despite the slight taste of blood, my mouth feels astonishingly clean.
Am I a geek?
Today, my David Hasselhoff presentation was featured on the ReadWriteWeb blog under the headline of Geeks Make Public Presentations Fun Again. While I certainly appreciate the free press, this does bring up the question of whether or not I am a geek.
Hiking Huffman Peak
Our 4th of July camping trip to the top of Huffman Peak turns out to be nothing like expected. Adam, Jen, Ryan and I experience a 4th of July filled with no fireworks, dry clothes or any views whatsoever.
gone fishing
I have spent little time blogging and lots of time exploring the outdoors. The picture above is of the Deschutes River which I have fished twice in the past ten days.

only the early gym rats get to see barack obama
Whenever Barack Obama is in Portland campaigning (which he has been on numerous occasions this year), he works out at the same gym as I do. Early in the morning. And whenever I set myself the goal to work out before I go into the office, I can’t get out of bed. So already I [...]
bushwhacking and winetasting
It has been a while since my last blog entry. Lots of exciting things have been happening, which has kept me from sitting down to write. An epic camping trip, three days of business in Santa Barbara and a day of wine tasting with good friends. Plus, Schalke got kicked out of the Champions [...]
out of town and into my hiking boots
Excuse my lack of blogging these past few days. It has been a very busy week at work. The weather is finally starting to look up in Portland, hence, I am venturing into the wilderness tomorrow to test my new hiking shoes. I will be back on Sunday, but here’s what I learned this [...]
