I'm in London and I was walking down Brompton Road and I saw Jack Black.

Part of me is really sad I couldn't get a picture with him.  But a bigger part of me knows that interrupting someone when he's just trying to walk down the street is incredibly rude.

So, that's something.

Why do I suddenly want a Mini Cooper?

I bet it doesn't even come with a cassette deck... Lame!

Happy birthday Reg!

Sorry I forgot your birthday half the time when you were still around.

I'm going to start that book you gave me (This Book Will Change Your Life) today...  And this time I'll get through the whole year, instead of just the first week.  I promise.

Miss you.  Love you always.

Cyclist dies after collision with garbage truck

I knew this guy.

I even asked him out on a date.

He politely declined, citing an existing girlfriend, but said that we could go get coffee as friends anytime.

He helped me frame my ferris wheel photo.

And the whale/silverware painting I gave my mom.

He was really, really nice.

And I am very, very sad.

Cyclist killed at W. Burnside and 14th

What is it that moms always say?  "It's not you I'm worried about, it's all those other people."

Sometimes you're not doing anything wrong, but you're the one that has to suffer the consequences.

Wear your helmets.

Because I love you and I want you to stay around.  If I'm crying over some girl I've never met, how would I go on without any of you?

It's so easy.  Easier than knowing how to be a good biker or making cars follow the rules or anything else.  You just have to put it on.

Yeah, it's no guarantee...  But it helps.

And it makes me feel better.

So, please?

So apparently there's a survey on my work's intranet that employees can fill out, which is received by everyone on the environmental team here.  This is my first experience seeing one, and I can't stop laughing.  Mostly because it was immediately responded to by someone on the team who wrote, "Well, that was pleasant."  I started cracking up and seriously, I can't stop.  The harder I try, the worse it gets.

Below is the result of your feedback form. It was submitted by

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please indicate your work location:  Home Office

Describe your personal awareness and effectiveness concerning environmental issues and sustainability efforts:  I guess there is a lot of WASTE going on... BUT i don't eat MEAT or fishes also i ride the bike or ride the bus or walk BUT I sometimes dont feel like washing out the insides of peanut butter jars or stuff like that and I just throw it all away... LAZY FUCK!!! But I don't have a dishwasher so it actually is pretty tricky... still i should be more conscientious. I am right on top of cutting the 6 pack plastic thingies so the birds and the seals don't have a hard time, but somebody told me that you can just recycle that stuff these days and you don't even have to worry about the birds and the otters anymore ... IS THIS TRUE???!?!?!???!

State your appraisal of the company's awareness and effectiveness concerning environmental issues and sustainability efforts:  Pretty good for stuff like throwing paper into the recycling... But what happens to the shredded paper, is it recycled? That would be pretty good if it was.

I guess they wanted to save water by having automatic water things but that seems pretty stupid now, like the water comes out slowly and takes a while to warm up and never really gets very warm and it turns out that in order to kill germs and microbes and bacterias that might get on your hand you really need to use soap and HOT water, not soap and lukewarm water. So that was trying to help the environment, but I think it was a bad idea.

It seems pretty shortsighted ENVIRONMENTALLY SPEAKING to move a bunch of people who are mostly around the city center to suburban work operations because that is only going to increase driving/... it doesn't matter how many shuttles dicks are still going to drive because they can get their own spot, dicks don't drive to work now only because parking is too hard. It is kind of true... people who live close in would drive to work downtown if parking was easy and free. That's all they care about those LAZY FUCKS!!! But I might be getting off topic here. The important thing: maybe the company needs more like um wood paneled cubicle walls? Like japanese screens? Those are a lot prettier and bamboo grows ABUNDANTLY and is not a unique old growth forest. So... what we need are BAMBOO WOOD DIVIDERS for the cubicles and also make parking very difficult and expensive in the suburbs.

Please list any organizations, publications or websites you patronize where the primary objectives are related to sustainable initiatives and/or environmental concerns:  NONE

Please indicate where you have personally or collaboratively taken initiative to effect positive environmental or sustainable change at the company:  NEVER

Please describe a situation where a client or potential client has made inquiry into the environmental or sustainable practices at the company:  One time I was selling this dude some insurance. He was all like "Look bro, I can totally dig how some disability benefits are going to come in very handy for my employees if they like slip on a banana peel or whatever, but what people REALLY want are disability benefits from a corporation that consciously makes an effort to limit their environmental impact by like, adopting a forest or sponsoring some sort of animal exhibit at the zoo. Do you dudes do that?" And i had to be all like, "Well, no. Sorry." WE LOST THAT CUSTOMER!! FUUUUUUCK!

Also it would be smart to try and get some sort of endangered species named after us, like "The Company Striped Marmot" we could sponsor it and have like an animal documentary where they follow the Sriped Marmot around and compare it to the company and all the ways the animal is awesome would also be all the ways the company is awesome, like "Did you ever notice how when the the striped marmot is foraging for grubs underneath the log how it is totally Positively Different from other types of unstriped marmots which don't know about foraging for those grubs???!! SUCKAS!!!!!!!" I have a lot of other ideas too but you get the picture.

"That's not 500 years away...  It's only 50 years away."
-Scott

From the BikePortland.org site.

(Watch the video on this page.)

"A major component of the Democrats' energy legislation and the Democrats' answer to our energy crisis is, hold on, wait one minute, wait one minute, it is promoting the use of the bicycle.

Oh, I cannot make this stuff up. Yes, the American people have heard this. Their answer to our fuel crisis, the crisis at the pumps, is: Ride a bike.

Democrats believe that using taxpayer funds in this bill to the tune of $1 million a year should be devoted to the principle of: "Save energy, ride a bike."

Some might argue that depending on bicycles to solve our energy crisis is naive, perhaps ridiculous. Some might even say Congress should use this energy legislation to create new energy, bring new nuclear power plants on line, use clean coal technology, energy exploration, but no, no.

They want to tell the American people, stop driving, ride a bike. This is absolutely amazing.

Apparently, the Democrats believe that the miracle on two wheels that we know as a bicycle will end our dependence on foreign oil. I cannot make this stuff up. It is absolutely amazing.

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the Democrats, promoting 19th century solutions to 21st century problems. If you don't like it, ride a bike. If you don't like the price at the pumps, ride a bike.

Stay tuned for the next big idea for the Democrats: Improving energy efficiency by the horse and buggy."

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free

Have you guys seen the Rose Quarter lately?

It's amazing.

I want to move to Canada.

Today I learned that because of the increase in "information sharing" due to the heightened threat of "terrorists," they're able to stop a lot more people at the Canadian border who aren't technically allowed into the country.  They said there are steps you can take to get in, but the process usually takes about six months.

Canada is so awesome.


Persons who are inadmissible to Canada

Members of Inadmissible Classes include those who have been convicted of MINOR OFFENCES (including shoplifting, theft, assault, dangerous driving, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of illegal substances, etc.), or of INDICTABLE CRIMINAL OFFENCES (including assault with a deadly weapon, manslaughter, etc.). As well, those who have been convicted of DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED (DWI) are considered Members of an Inadmissible Class. Driving while under the influence of alcohol is regarded as an extremely serious offence in Canada.

Those who have received TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS (including parking/speeding tickets, etc.) and other minor violations (i.e. littering, etc.) most likely will NOT be prohibited from entering Canada. Similarly, those who have JUVENILE CONVICTIONS (convictions for crimes committed while under age 18) most likely will NOT be prohibited from entering Canada unless they could have been tried as an adult for their offences.
