Made some new friends last night at OMSI!!!

Tucked away in the corner of the Central Eastside condos is the amazingly adorable Roseline Coffee. They have fantastic coffee and wonderful, spacious indoor and outdoor seating making this a great place to both meet and work. Finding this one was delightful for me! I highly recommend! https://roselinecoffee.com

These books are so amazing. https://micro.blog/books/9781250826985

Justin Timberlake just came and rode with our neighborhood Bike Bus!!!

Huge turnout. Nice job Portland! https://bikebus.world https://jonhays.me/2025/01/12/justin-timberlake-just-came-and.html

Not sure if anyone else has run into this, but recently I’ve noticed a lot of affiliate links don’t work on my browser, which unfortunately breaks a LOT of the web. I discovered that somehow Private Relay had been turned off and turning it back on makes everything work properly again.

Despite the loss, it was fun evening at the Moda watching my young Trailblazers.

The Portland downtown Farmer’s Market is magical. It has to be one of the best in the world. The food and the smells and the buskers make it an amazing place.

This is NOT news. Do some real reporting for a change Oregonlive: “primarily for the catered meal featuring chorizo and beef skewers, carne asada wrapped asparagus and a make your own tostada bar”

Oh no! A tostada bar! Give me a break. Do better. https://www.oregonlive.com/politics/2025/01/gov-tina-koteks-office-dinged-for-minor-spending-on-catered-party-concert-tickets-that-may-have-broken-ethics-rules.html

It’s a beautiful day in downtown PDX!

Texas toll road administrators using Hotmail email accounts seems 100% legit. I should probably pay this immediately to avoid fines!

Crazy good Blazers win tonight. Our offense really does flow so much better with Grant out of the lineup. Sorry CJ. We thought we traded you to a winning team… 😬

I’ve had it with billionaires. Finally shutting down Facebook and Instagram and Threads. (Already shut down Twitter a long time ago). Hopefully some folks end up following me here!

The MLK elementary school in PDX needs help with programs for their kids. Go here now and donate $5. You can do it. Skip your latte tomorrow. It’s for the kids.

This guy is a complete moron. Seriously. What???

My daughter gave me a Theragun as a gift and I’ve been surprised how much it hurts, and how much I use it. 🤷‍♂️

It was and still is Treason.

Finished reading: The God of Endings by Jacqueline Holland 📚

This book is very sweet in a very odd way. I recommend not researching anything about it before reading, though. https://micro.blog/books/9781250903853

Last night in Palm Springs.

Year in books for 2024 https://jonhays.me/2025/01/01/year-in-books-for.html

Doing some reflecting this New Year’s Eve. We don’t know how much time we’ve been given – I want to make the most of it. What’s important? What’s just chaff in the wind?
