From: Pashman, DavidSent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 5:58 AMTo: Kenny Wolf; Lauren LavoieSubject: congratulations
Are congratulations in order for the birth of your new baby OS?
Yes, I suppose you could say that Kenny and I (and the thousands of other folks who shipped Windows Vista) released our own little baby […]
Living just off of 15th Avenue, Kenny and I find ourselves at Twenty-Two Doors quite often. Tonight, Kenny had a hankering for their burger (apparently snowboarding makes him crave beef), so we went there for dinner upon arriving home from Whistler. Their menu changes relatively often (more often than the website gets updated, it seems), […]
Via the Slog, I found that my neighbor and friend, Jonah Burke, had been written up in the PI for his non-profit web project benefiting the victims in Darfur, called the Darfur Wall:

Kenny and I didn’t try to brave the icy roads to get into work today, but rather spent some time working from home and from Remedy Teas, a hip new tea shop around the corner from our condo (Kenny blogged his first impressions of Remedy a few days ago).
A man and a woman were sitting at a […]
For the first time since it opened, Mount Rainier National Park is now closed due to storm damage. Park officials hope to have the roads passable by August.
November delivered the most damaging storm in the national park’s 108-year history. During one hellacious 36-hour span, 18 inches of rain fell — taking out roads, bridges and […]
Capitol Hill Seattle, tireless after their big Capitol Hill Tourney, are running a new contest: The 15th Ave/19th Ave Popularity Contest (which is built on Amazon’s interesting new UnSpun service). You can vote on which establishments you enjoy/do not enjoy by upgrading or downgrading them.
Go show your favorite establishments some love. Personally, I am rather partial to […]
