An interactive film and Google Chrome experiment.  There’s a lot going on in this one and I suggest you check it out.

It’s a good thing when art and technology come together in such a nice way.

This is absolutely tragic - one of my best friends, newly married and on a cross-country trip with his incredible bride, just found out his house back in Syracuse, NY burned down while they were out on honeymoon.  Adam is my closest college friend, and was just here visiting PDX a week or so ago.  I am absolutely heartbroken right now…

I still can’t believe this happened to them.  And they’re still out on the road.  Very sad.  The silver lining, perhaps, is that they have great friends and a supporting family who will undoubtedly bring them back up out of this mess.

“Portland has tried and failed for years to rein in the freewheeling event. The festival is unique in that no one group organizes it — even as it attracted an estimated 15,000 people last month.”

Hmmm… this could probably be the awesomest this street fair will ever be.

Angry anarchists and a shushing flash mob?  Yeah I’ll be watching from my office window while playing some pong, that’s for sure.
