Nearly prepared. The car by now reminds me quite a lot of National Lampoon.

Other nearby mountains.

Chad was a bit worn out the next day.

We stopped at a convenience store staffed by surprisingly *interesting* people atop Mount Hood.

You can imagine how this turned out.

The stunningly steep cliff face and lake in which we'd be boating for the next eight-or-so hours.

06

A brief nicotine break after sneaking in to hang out at the pool in Kahneeta's casino for a few hours.

Almost across the mountain to home!

After all of our bags had fallen on Christian after making a sharp turn on a mountain road, we were all surprised to see how readily Christian fell asleep.

A weekend in the desert

I learned a few things this weekend:

  1. The silence of night in the desert is amazing, and I’m now in love with it.
  2. Being forced to wake up by a greenhouse-like tent at 7:30 AM is not without its merits.
  3. SPF 85 is the way to go for the first three solid days in the sun.
  4. Good conversation and a fire can easily make one forget how tired he is.
  5. Riding across a mountain in the middle of the night is exactly as terrifying as I had expected it to be.
  6. As much as I love my Jupiter 9, my stock Olympus 14-42mm sort of kills it.

Who is to blame?

A photo of Adam Coddington.

Adam Coddington works as the Senior Web Developer for a small newspaper in southwest Washington, but lives in Portland, Oregon's lovely Mississippi District.

Not enough information? I didn't think so either. Well, he cares about things like leftist politics and economics, living a car-free lifestyle, never taking anything for granted, and although he is an unabashed technophile, he dreams of living an unplugged lifestyle in the middle of the wilderness by the time he reaches forty or so years old.

What is the meaning of this?

This Adam guy has an really terrible memory for things like names, places, and events. Although it might be rather a miracle that he doesn't drown on his own spit from day-to-day, he has somehow managed to scrape together his software development skills from year to year to maintain this site-- a sort of documentary of his own life. This is more for his sake than yours.

We are all creatures of our own past. How do you remind yourself of your own context?

What is this guy up to?

1 day, 22 hours ago I'm not sure how I documented before Sphinx. Integrated graphviz?! Module autodocumentation from docstrings?! Yes, I'll take that.

3 days, 20 hours ago @chucklessmith resigned from my job... the day after getting back from a conference :-/.

3 days, 23 hours ago Documentation. I sort of love reading through early code, sometimes I find glimpses of how simple the problem looked at first.
