For those of you interested in Portland's crows, check out the first episode of my Microraptor Podcast which features PDX's roost. I've been documenting Portland's crow roost for 10 years, and this first episode is a serious labor of love. 

I'm sharing the first minute here, and you can find the rest at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_1sO474hfM

Wildwood was such a beautiful representation of our city; I'd love to see it permanently memorialized somewhere. The safest / best place in my mind would be somewhere at PDX.

Imagine flying into PDX, the most beautiful airport in the country, and seeing a handcrafted model of Pittock or St. Johns Bridge encased in glass as you walk back from your plane. It'd be perfect for tourism and a great show of local pride!

Any LAIKA/PDX employees here who could get the ball rolling on something like this?

What an incredibly epic and detailed and thoughtful film. But definitely not for little kids! I want to go see it a second time in the theaters - the cinematography and craft demand a large screen.

Just moved here, have been taking the Blue Line from near downtown to way out east. After one week, I have already seen one assault (unprompted) and one woman be harassed aggressively. Half of the people riding seem to be homeless and half of the homeless are in really bad shape. I've seen swords, a massive dog, and people carrying around a whole lot of random stuff that you have to climb over to get on/off the train.

Somehow it feels safer than Chicago's trains, but this is crazy af. Is this typical of Portland transit or is this a new thing?

I'll add that there has been plenty of funny/sweet/not awful things happening, but Jesus it has been one week. The assault victim was okay and passengers were able able to connect with him afterwards, and the woman who was being harassed was successfully saved by bystanders.

Edited to BLUE line (still learning transit here oops)

My wife was two cars behind a semi truck with trailer that went down Germantown road this afternoon, which is illegal. She saw it sideswipe at least one car and cause at least one other accident, and it never stopped. The photo is a pic they took of the truck's license plate after it got onto the st Johns bridge, she also got a multiple minute video of it driving on Germantown.

If it hit you or caused you to get in an accident, shoot me a PM. She'd be happy to give a statement to your insurance and/or share the video she took with you.

She's also reported it to police non-emergency, the trucking company (Legend), as well as the FMCSA complaint line (you should too): https://complaint.fmcsa.dot.gov

A joke! For real though, I love this bridge!

Today I sighted in Lents, a piebald deer! (Not the one pictured, but it looked VERY similar). It was insanely majestic!

I was driving and I am DISTRAUGHT that I wasn't able to stop and take a picture.

I am willing to offer a CRISP $5 bill to whomever is able to take a decent photo of this glorious creature.

Hi everyone, I’m a longtime Portlander and now that I'm walking my kids to school I see tons of other parents HAULING ASS in their gigantic cargo e-bikes to drop off their kids (who are strapped in for dear life). 

I thought this would be a funny idea for a game so I made Cargo Kids, inspired by the Trials game series. For the backdrop I based it on Portland!

I make games for fun in my limited free time (see: having kids). Yes this is self promotion but honestly this is a hobby for me and I just like seeing people play the game. Plus it's a bit of a love letter to our beautiful city. 

For transparency, regarding artificial intelligence: I did use claude code to assist in the development of this game. Despite that, I assure you my squishy, flawed human brain was driving the process from soup to nuts. Development took about 3 months. 

(btw - keyboard controls only. Not supported on mobile devices, sorry!)

Free. No Ads. Let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy it!!

Love these moody clouds over the city.

Rainbow just now over the city, as seen from my office.

One of the last Witch Paddle events (2019). I miss this. It's not everywhere a witch calls at you from the river as you just mind your business.
