Short Takes


  • Any and all word geeks need to read Irregular Webcomic! today. Well, everyone needs to read it every day, really, but especially today.
  • My amazon order shipped. *waits, semi-patiently*
  • In downtown Portland they have a public square. There's lots of people there, many buses go by there, there's free concerts there some of the time, a Starbucks, flower sellers, public WiFi ... it's a cool place. So why, why, why do they not have a FREAKING MAILBOX?
  • Bruce Schneier has some interesting things to say about security and security tech.
  • Seaners had a good day at preschool. We got a call from his teacher to let us know of his progress, which was amusing only because she didn't know our names and I was addressed by my secondary name, which is "Sean's Mom". Eventually I'll be "Mrs. Sean's Mom", I'm sure.
  • Mailed off thing to get loan consolidation underway. *waits, semi-patiently*

According to the nice lady on the bus who heard me ranting about it, there used to be but they closed it down. :P So the nearest one is at 6th and Clay (University Station.) I think that's the closest mailbox (which I found out later, of course, from the same nice lady) but still. Bah. Ridiculous USPS.
