Only ten bones! This guy is super ridiculous awesome live. Cannot wait for this show.

Buy tickets now, and thank me later.

Drop out!

This makes me want to punch my screen:



In other news, my legs are sore but it is getting to the point where I hate getting into the car on weekends. I want to bike everywhere.

I wrote a little blog post on Trimetiquette about bikes on the Max, it is stirring up a good dialog, join in here if you can.

Enjoy yourself.

Shiny and new

Ok, maybe not shiny. But I went ahead and updated the template for this site. Why not? So if you are reading via RSS, come by and check it out. Also, I got rid of the intro page thing. This site is 1 page only!

High Five Portland!

Taken from http://bikeportland.org:

"The League of American Bicyclists will officially announce later today that Portland has become the first major city in America to be designated as a Platinum-level Bicycle Friendly Community. (The only other city to have reached the Platinum level is Davis, California with a population of 63,000.)"

Even after 10 months of living in this city, I am still being amazed and changed with this city. My wife and I are getting way into biking around the city vs. driving or trimet. But rest assured that we are the good kind of bikers. The ones that actually obey the rules given to bikers and cars alike. HIGH FIVE! (smack)

Riding to work with the love of my life.

I met this guy/girl at the convenient store I walk to at work. Dog was a little nervous about strangers, but didn't mind Elmo hanging on his back. I think Elmo was keeping him/her warm.

Riding to work now. Shaving about 20 minutes off the commute, and getting a great workout.

Takes me about 40min to go 7.2 miles to work.

This is where I wait for a train to go to work

New place to read brewcaster junk

I am going to start contributing to this site:
http://www.trimetiquette.com/

As a user of Trimet pretty much everyday, I feel like this site is a much needed place for riders and would-be riders to gain valuable info about the transit system in Portland. This will be a place that will tell you stuff Trimet.org doesn't/can't. Come on by!

At work today I got to be in close proximity to Bill Clinton.

Hippie yet?

First time to use one. After reading reviews, seemed like the way to go. After first use, yes it was. Highly recommend ditching your gas or electric beast.

My first Earthquake

So as I was laying in my hotel bed drinking and watching TV, (don't ask me which night it was, I did that all week) I felt like something slammed into the building. The wall I was leaning against shook suddenly and the whole building felt like it shifted back and forth slightly. I look over and the lamp shade across the room is still finishing its swinging. I figure it was probably an Earthquake but I thought maybe not as it only lasted for about 1.5 seconds.

As I am stuck in the John Wayne Aiport for the past 4 hours I overhear the bartender talking about it with another traveler. I asked for clarification. Confirmed, Brian Brewer experienced his first Earthquake this week.

Is it bad that this minor shaking of the building was the highlight of my trip to LA for business?

Don't make me come back here.

Coming Home Today

Coming Home Today, originally uploaded by Brewcaster.

I have been sitting here learning how to break my brain through programming control systems. Today is my last day of class, and I will be home with my love and the city I love before midnight!

Wish

I wish I wasn't stuck here, had something to do, had a car, no I don't want to drive in this mess of a city. I wish I was home with my wonderful wife and kids/beagles.
