Yesterday I discovered a blog called Passive Aggressive Notes which is mostly an ongoing collection of passive-aggressive notes from co-workers, roommates and strangers. Some excellent examples are the refrigerator thief, the nose-picker, unwashed dishes and my favorite, the plea for bathroom hygiene.
Camera Shy
I snapped this while we waited for the Wailers to play at the zoo Wednesday evening. It gets chilly when the sun goes behind the bandstand so I brought my sweater from the office and this shirt which I wear when I’m biking. For some reason, Graham was a little camera shy at that moment.

Here’s another little time waster. Took me forever to get past level 6 but I made it to 8 so far.
Update 6/27: After Thane finished all 42 levels, I felt compelled to continue. I’m now up to Level 15.
Update 6/27, part II: While working Level 15, I couldn’t get the space bar to switch blocks so I started pressing other keys. Inadvertently, I clicked an advertisement link. When I backed up to the game, it sent me back to the beginning. I had not written down the codes for any levels. Waaaaah!
Update 6/28: Stage 20 (543019)
Update 7/2: Stage 23 (293486)
Update 7/3: Stage 29 (691859)
Update 7/8: Stage 30 (280351)
Update 7/9: Stage 32 (879021)
Update 7/10: Stage 33 (614955)
Idaho Stop Sign Law
Bike Portland has an interesting article about the “rolling stop sign” bicycle law in Idaho including an excellent letter from the Idaho Transportation Department. As a daily bike commuter, I wholeheartedly approve of such legislation and hope it comes to pass in Oregon.

Christensen
Yesterday morning I was in the midst of making a movie of the Iraq Names Project when I was stopped dead in my tracks by this. It’s unlikely that it is someone that is related to me and even less likely it’s someone I know, but the name “Christensen” always draw my attention. Here, moreso than ever before.
