About Me

I type a lot. I live in Portland, Oregon. I have an icemaker in my refrigerator. You're welcome to come over and have some ice. Really! It's free. IMPORTANT NOTE: it has recently come to my attention that the ice tastes "funny" or "off" sometimes, due to factors inherent in the water which, well, is the ice. The management wishes to remind patrons that the ice is free, and encourages patrons to deal.
NOTE ADDED EARLY FEBRUARY: The management has further become aware that the provided selection of beers at BattleStar Galactica Night (Fridays at 7pm, BTW) is sadly provincial. The management would like to inform his patrons that he does not understand or drink the beer and thus cannot judge its quality except based on the design of its packaging; the management prefers cider, which is available in several superior formulations, and is just as free as the beer. The mgmt further reminds his dear visitors that this note-to-the-patrons bit is getting old, and it shall cease immediately.
