This art gallery is a love letter to Portland, but it addresses a harsh reality

He was never unhoused. But he was close. That's why Michael Larson started Humans for Housing - a nonprofit that believes in storytelling to solve #homelessness issues.

2026 Weeks 9, 10, & 11

TL;DR: Three weeks of weeknotes in one go. Wrote a blog post about AI grief that hit Hacker News (and got accused of being written by an LLM), fell deep into an Amiga 1200 rabbit hole, soldered the wrong potentiometer onto my Tempest PCB, survived a work trip to California, and spiraled into hardware-ownership doomsday thinking.

Hey, #Portland #PDX! Before you go see EFF’s Cindy Cohn at Powell's at 7pmPT tonight, listen to her interview on KBOO’s Genius Box about “Privacy’s Defender: My Thirty-Year Fight Against Digital Surveillance.” https://kboo.fm/media/132473-genius-box-interview-cindy-cohn-eff

One last thing before I unplug from the Fediverse for the rest of the day.

I want to work. Even if it's part time. Ideally, I'd have a role at some kind of a non-profit. I'm thinking a bike co-op. Either as an "apprentice" bike mechanic, or doing something in IT (which doesn't require driving between different sites).

If you can help, please let me know. I need to start making an income. We want to move closer to Beaverton where my partner works.

Bat shit amount of sirens along Powell near 82nd, what is happening #pdx

Checked the creek earlier today and… the beavers have some work to do! The storm surge broke through the middle of the dam. 🦫

I looked up the downstream sensor data from USGS and it was a record for today's date at 300 cubic feet per second. The old record from 2012 was only 50 cfs.

There's a lot to be said about how amazingly fucked it is to have to share someone's health emergency gofundme, but here I am doing exactly that for a wonderful person, David of the band The Prids. They've been around since the 90s making cool guitar rock and have had no shortage of stuff along the way. And I hope they're able to continue on after this. Anyway: https://gofund.me/8f9ccfb52
If you can't donate maybe listen to their music.

Keep hearing coyotes in my neighborhood. That's disconcerting kinda, if only because I worry about the outdoor cats #pdx
