I have been carless in Seattle for almost 5 years, trying my best to be an advocate for mass transit. Up until the summer of ’09 I gave transit in Seattle about a 2 on a 10 scale. In July the Light Rail started running, which is exciting, but it services about 10 blocks of [...]
But this collection of photos, from Callie Shell’s photo essay ‘Travels With Barack‘, is worth about 1.5 mil. I couldn’t stop pressing the ‘show more images’ button at the bottom of each page. The images Callie has captured seem very important. Historically significant. Four years ago Time photographer Callie Shell met Barack Obama backstage when [...]
This past May a good friend of mine, Doug Pierson, successfully climbed and summited Mount Everest. I was privileged enough to hear Doug speak upon his return. The stories of his travels and the climb were awe inspiring. At the end of his talk he shared the video below. I encourage you to take a [...]
Everyone knows that Airstreams are the absolute shit when it comes to RVs. Actually – they’re pretty much the only RV that holds any appeal to anyone under 45 70, so there was no way any ‘RV of the Day’ (quite an unlikely category, I must say) would be anything OTHER than an Airstream. I’ve [...]
I love seeing which Hollywood celebrity is hocking goods abroad. Last summer in Italy it was George Clooney for Martini brand vermouth and this spring in Japan its Scarlett Johansan for Mt. Rainier Coffee. This is a cold concoction sold in convenience stores with almost identical packaging and logo to the Starbucks product. It was [...]
Oh the days of yesteryear when mooning vehicles while going on trips with the youth group in the church bus was as much fun as cow tipping (what can I say? I am from Kentucky!). Here is a totally NSFW link that brings back the memories. Ah, and who could ever forget giving the old [...]
Thanks to Shake Well Before Use for finding this article. Apparently becoming a member of the Mile High Club is as hard as it sounds. A couple on a flight to Portland to Las Vegas started fooling around on the plane. When they took it to the restroom some passengers complained. When confronted by the flight attendant, the couple [...]
As has has been evidenced by recent posts, the blog blog has been a’travellin, and when we travel, we pack our digitals. As a result, we found it necessary to start up the phlog blog (get it?) A Flickr group for the blog blog, our readers/friends and frenemies – you can should join and share [...]
Watch out world: the blog blog is coming your way! Our latest sighting was on busy Karlovo Ulice in beautiful Prague, CZ, one of the small, tourist laden streets leading to the magnificent Old Town Square: Having now conquered the Czech Republic, rumor has it the blog blog will now move on to Poland in [...]
So this guy, a gas station attendant with a wife and dog at home, decides to fly his lawn chair, well, wherever the wind wanted. Man – I really admire his determination and creativity. Who hasn’t thought of doing something like this? At least as a child before all dreams have been killed and replaced [...]
