What People Wear When They Fly
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

Flushing The Bike Plan Into The Sewer?
There are good arguments both for and against here:
http://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2009/03/letters_to_the_editor_bikefee.htmlI would have no problem throwing the government a $20 each year. Can we start making pedestrians pay a fee to make sidewalks? Can we stop allowing studded tires to rip up our roadways?
Most cyclists I think you will find own cars as well. So we do for the most part pay our “share”. But hey, $20 a year to get improved bicycling infrastructure? Sign me up.

I guess it depends on where you live. I can bike to work faster to work by about 15-20 minutes as opposed to Trimet or driving in the morning.
The only person responsible for your commute time is yourself. I don’t know any businesses that pay you while you commute.

Looking For Tales of Portland Parking Woes
That does sound like a bad situation.
But be sure to note, this was an issue with a business and a private lot, this had nothing to do with the City of Portland parking authority. The article is also a year old.

Totally. I love Parking Wars. And I am thankful I don’t live in Philly.
» Posted By brewcaster On January 25, 2010 @ 9:07 am
I take train or bike to work. Anyone driving to work a full 8 hours during the day downtown will be using a lot not street parking. No city could handle all daytime workers with street parking.
We do frequently come downtown on weekends for entertainment. Dinner, movies, concerts, etc…
In those cases we do mostly drive, park on the street if there are available spots, or use a pay and park lot. Again, no issues and have heard no complaints from my peers.What I have learned from watching Parking Wars, is in those cities there are laws regulating parking and towing. People get towed for a few reasons:
1. A certain money amount or quantity of unpaid parking fines.
2. Violating some of the severe parking rules, such as blocking a sidewalk, or sidewalk ramp, handicap parking without permit, blocking fire hydrants, etc…What are the laws in Portland? Were you fairly towed in relation to these laws? Terms like “predatory towing” make it sound unjust, but perhaps the person feels it was unjust because it happened to them?
Parking regulated by the city is a system. For that system to work, people must play by the rules. Those who do not seem to me to have a fair chance of playing by the rules before being “removed” from the playing field.

Parking downtown in Portland seems pretty straight forward and fair.
Follow the rules and pay your fines and all should be well.
Have you ever watched Parking Wars? We are lucky to live here.I work downtown and haven’t heard anyone complain about Portland’s parking authority yet. They seem to do their job fairly.

PDX Limericks – New Year’s Eve Edition
If OurPDX is hotter than sex for you, you have been doing it WAY wrong. And to avoid offending, I will leave it there.

I was talking about my opinion of the food at this place. Sounds like it differs from your opinion. How is that possible?
» Posted By brewcaster On January 3, 2010 @ 9:04 am
I am going to have to agree with the Carnivore. This place is awful on many levels, starting with the food.

Do you REALLY need this explained to you?
“Now it’s one step away from prohibition. The funny thing is, cops will harass a guy drinking a can of Camo on a bus stop bench, while hipsters across the street sit at sidewalk cafe tables; drinking, pointing and laughing. How is that right? As much as I love order downtown, the place has become a ghost town after dark, and businesses are dying because of it.”

Last one I promise:
344-322=22» Posted By brewcaster On August 25, 2009 @ 4:55 pm
I read this on that site:
“What’s newThe first thing you’ll notice is their aerodynamic styling, with rounded corners and a sloping front end. At roughly 191 feet, they’re about seven feet longer than our older MAX vehicles. Each car has only one operator cab, so you’ll always see two cars coupled together.
On board, the “open” floor plan leaves more room for riders. There are 8 more seats per train, plus additional standing room. While existing MAX trains were designed to carry up to 332 riders, these can carry 344. Plus, you’ll notice a more comfortable ride: When the train stops, it’s nice and smooth.”

Yup, more capacity FTW. I love these new trains. I know it’s raining, but why rain on the parade?

Being an idiot and being diagnosed with a form of mental retardation are two very different things. Please work on your word choice, you are making us Oklahoman’s look bad.

Portland Mercury Copyright Infringement
If it was my photo or video?
I would have handled it privately. I don’t do photography and video to make money. I do it as a hobby. So if I didn’t get a response privately I would probably have dropped it. No monetary loss, only missed opportunity for advertising myself, which I guess I care less about as the years go by. Again, I make videos and photos for the funzies of it, and hope others might enjoy looking at them too.If I were entirely in your shoes?
Again, private contact. If no response, and I was worried about missed opportunity for money, I would either drop it or look at a lawsuit if I thought it was worth that much time and money.They guy apologized again, and you still had to make a smug remark about his word choice. Kinda leaves a gross taste in my mouth.
I am done caring now. I think you take amazing photos, and you are one of my favorite PDX photographers, and you probably do deserve money if used for commercial ventures. But you might re-think your methods of recoupment.

I have to agree with a lot of what PDXSays is saying. There is no argument that the Merc had “violated” some copyrights, but I think the issue now is how OurPdx has handled it.
I think the use of Bold type on this sentence:
“the Portland Mercury has repeatedly infringed on the copyright of two OurPDX authors.”
screams drama in hopes of recognition.I come here for the comments now.

True, but now imagine if 80% of Comcast subscribers were @tweeting to Comcast and expecting responses, would that still work?
» Posted By brewcaster On May 13, 2009 @ 9:22 am
Twitter can not be an effective medium for 2-way communication. You are going to have to look at Twitter as a huge chatroom with thousands of people all talking at once. There is no possible way a company will be able to respond to every @ they receive, nor should they.
It may be a sad thing for some of the Twitter lovers to face, but it just doesn’t scale well to the size it has grown.

Answer:
If you want to, this is a great city to be vegan in. Lot’s of vegan places to eat, and lots of restaurants will at least offer vegan options. Do it if you want to. If you don’t , then don’t.It has always bothered me that when this topic comes up, the meat eaters rush to defend themselves as if someone was attacking their free will to eat meat. Nobody is attacking you. I do not care about what you eat.
I am glad you are happy with your choices, continue being happy please.Full Disclosure:
I am not a vegan. Closest label that can be applied to me is a “pescetarian” if you must go with a label.» Posted By brewcaster On April 3, 2009 @ 11:16 am
nice, maybe these will be running Windows ME.

What Twitter could have given Sam, and Portland
This could have been great. We could have learned when he was going to bed. What he was eating for lunch. If he was tired. If he had a lot of emails to catch up to. You know, anything nobody cares about…
I kind of think official statements and/or press conferences might be a better fit in these situations.
But I guess it could be Government 2.3 beta rc 3.

No excuse for not having a valid fare on TriMet

I love me some Windows, but NT? Come on Trimet, you aren’t even trying.
