FUP the shopcat at Powell's Technical Books passed away a few days ago. Here's a nice tribute from Powell's.
Sadly, I only started reading Fup's adventures last week. We even subscribed Mortimer's email address to be updated bi-weekly about FUP's adventures. (Yes, our cat has an email address. You know, for his prescriptions...)
You can still get your FUP Wars t-shirt. There's at least one more batch that we'll be printing in FUP's memory.

Thanks for this one Oregarus...
As some of ya'll know, I was once a tuba player.
Its a habit I managed to shake thanks to ten years of cigarette smoking.
I've been without the smokes for a couple years now and feel like I have the lung power to play the tuba again, I just haven't found the tuba I can afford, or have room to store. Someday, I'll be a tuba santa, or maybe just a creepy guy in Pioneer Courthouse Square beat boxing through my tuba.
"Possibly the worst interview in the history of electronic media," as its described on the Bryant Park Project's blog.
An uncomfortable combination of musicians being asked questions that lead nowhere, in their second language, and their blank stares and mumbles. Five minutes of video that's exponentially more uncomfortable than "The Office," the real BBC one...
The other segments of the show I've listened to seem to be something I'd tune in to everyday, this one seems like an unfortunate incident.
By the way, why isn't this show broadcast on OPB? It seems like something that would go over well in Portland. "World Have Your Say" is terribly annoying.
Bryan Park Project would be an awesome morning replacement. Until then, I'll have to listen online...
An important gay, everyday...
October is GayLesbianBisexualTransgender history month.
This ad ran in one of the local breaks on Comcast while I was watching some silly shit on the Travel Chanel.
Thanks to Comcast for actually playing this PSA...
Check the site daily for a new little video about some notable sexual deviant from our history.
These were on the memory card. G must've taken them walking home from his dentist appointment this morning...
From the AP Article-
An asteroid between Mars and Jupiter has been renamed 7307 Takei in honor of the actor, best known for his role as Hikaru Sulu in the original ''Star Trek'' series and movies.
''I am now a heavenly body,'' Takei, 70, said Tuesday, laughing. ''I found out about it yesterday. ... I was blown away. It came out of the clear, blue sky -- just like an asteroid.''

A new daily browse for me. I especially appreciate the "Dolt of the Day" feature.
I think Wonder Woman there, #6 on the list is a fellow Portlander. That street looks like Old Town, and I swear I've seen her before.
