PDX Drinks 2 Aug 5, 08, 9:56 a.m.

Last time there was sufficient interest but scheduling conflicts with most people. Let's try it again.

Who is available/interested in meeting for drinks/food this week? Let's try either Friday or Saturday, roughly 9pm.

Who's interested?
Where should we meet?

Illustrator plug-in? Aug 1, 08, 3:49 p.m.

I'm looking for some kind of plug-in or feature to use in Illustrator that will warp shapes with perspective. KPT Vector Effects used to work great with old versions of AI - is there anything like it now?

Yes, I've tried Free Distort as well as all the Warp features - they suck at perspective. Any help is appreciated.

Portland Drinks Jul 17, 08, 3:02 p.m.

Seems like there are enough PDXers here to give it a go. What do you say? Friday the 25th? Location suggestions? Who's in?

ode to earplugs Mar 5, 08, 10:06 a.m.

birds in the trees are so loud
my nice soft earplugs
extend my slumber

my new foam earplugs
son is waking up downstairs
my wife will get him

the bed is so warm
bright orange earplugs stop sound
time is transfixed

I am not concerned
fear of a prowler unheard
sleep trumps all worries

lying on my side
my warm and flattened pillow
drives earplug deeper

for just four dollars
my new set of six earplugs
starts my day refreshed

Road Trip, OR - MN Jan 17, 08, 1:53 p.m.

In late May, I'll be attending a family wedding in Minnesota. My wife, son (5yrs) and I will be making a road trip out of it. We've never been through ID, MO, WY and much of SD.

Good people of NT/QBN, I am asking if you'd have any recommendations of sights and/or lodgings you particularly liked. We may be camping for part of the way if the weather is good, as it might be in late May. We won't be in a rush to get there and will likely take 3-4 days each way, stopping often.

Of course, we'll visit the Black Hills and Rushmore, but what else? We'll likely drive to MN on 90, but are open to alternate routes if there is reason to.

Any good tips?

South America trip Nov 7, 07, 2:07 p.m.

The wife, kid (5yrs) and I are thinking of spending a few weeks in South America. We've never been. I know it's an enormous place, I'm just looking for somewhere to start.

Can anyone share any experiences and recommendations?

Our basic preferences:
-away from huge cities, smaller towns are good.
-near beaches a plus, not crucial
-outdoorsy stuff a plus, but nothing rigorous
-affordable, but not dangerous

Thanks.

Datarock Oct 11, 07, 9:28 a.m.

lvl_13 posted Computer Camp Love a few weeks back - I'd never heard of Datarock before and have been listening to them a lot since the post.

So, I check to see if they're touring and coming to my town anytime soon...

They were here last weekend, less than a mile from my house. Bummed.

Turning 5 today Oct 5, 07, 11:47 a.m.

My son, not me.
Big Star Wars party planned for tomorrow.
My son will my Jango Fett
My wife as Queen Amidala
I'll be a young Obi-Wan

Light sabers in the hands of 15 little kids. Should be awesome.

Vancouver Aug 8, 07, 4 p.m.

Driving up there for the first time with the wife and kid in a couple weeks, after whale watching in the San Juan islands.

Any tips on lodging, great food (hi-brow/low-brow), activities, sights, etc...?

Much appreciated!

Quickie Flash site creator Jul 31, 07, 7:37 p.m.

I need to make a quickie site for a rental property I own, and time is of the essence.

I can't remember the name of that simple flash site builder I've seen around. I just need to throw up some pics without fuss.

Any help?

ING Home Mortgage
Pay a low $895 closing cost when you get an ING Direct Orange Mortgage for up to $500,000 and use an ING closing agent. As with any loan, you’ll need to pay required taxes, any odd days' interest and any extra title insurance you choose to buy.

Maui Nov 8, 06, 12:43 p.m.

I'm heading to Maui with my 4year old son for a week. I've been to Maui about 5 times but mostly while I was young and not the one planning an itinerary.

I've usually stayed near Kaanapali or Nipili. This time, I'll be styaing near Paia on the North Shore. Any suggestions on activities, food, etc. are more than welcome. I'll have a car. Thanks!

PodTube v1.0 Sep 2, 06, 11:57 a.m.

Saw this in the PBS yesterday and am giving it a spin.

Is it supposed to take hours to download a 7mb video? It downloads quickly then says "Encoding" for hours and has yet to stop.

Shared Birthdays Jul 21, 06, 11:19 a.m.

Got some time on my hands. Found out that I share my birthday with:

Gene Kelly
Keith Moon
Shelly Long
Rick Springfield
Rik Smits
Jay Mohr
River Phoenix
Kobe Bryant

Well, I guess I don't really share it with Gene Kelly, Keith Moon and River Phoenix anymore, since they're dead.

Brand Logos May 27, 06, 11:11 p.m.

I seem to have lost my bookmark of the site that has hundreds of brand name logos for download in vector format. Can anyone help me out?

I'm looking for Costco.
