In a few days, a group of my best friends are off to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for their annual ski and snowboarding trip. Lucky bastages. Here’s a hilarious video from last year’s trip of Paul trying to slide down the hill. Have fun guys!

This weekend I attended a 2-day massage course and oddly enough, I am the sorest man alive. In all honesty, I feel like I’ve run a marathon. Uphill. I’ve spent today stumbling around the office, limping down stairs and falling into chairs. Not what I’d expected from “relaxing” week at the massage school. In short, […]

We had a crazy windstorm here a few weeks ago, which caused all sorts of ruckus around the UK and Europe. In fact, we even got snow in London. If I remember correctly, some 30-odd people died around the continent, along with a handful here. The most bizarre was the head of Birmingham’s Airport, who […]

In December of last year, I had a chance to visit the Giant’s Causeway. It’s billed as the “UK’s fourth greatest natural wonder” and is on the coast of Northern Ireland, just north of the town of Bushmills (where the whiskey comes from). Music fans may notice having seen it on the cover of Led […]

Dear God! I just logged into my Amazon account to check on a delivery when it hit me: I’m lame. Sure, when I was a kid I thought I was cool and hip and fresh, but now I’ve officially made the transition to boring grown up. Staring me right in the face was the unavoidable […]

Well, it finally happened: when I looked out the window this morning, it was to a winter wonderland. The forecasts had been threatening a cold snap with potential snow storms for days, but no one thought it would make it this far south. I do love it, but it’s particularly strange to see it falling […]

Clearly, San Francisco is one of those places that has years worth of stuff to do. There’s just no way to make a definitive list of must-see’s or must-do’s. Plus, I’m no expert.
That said, I was there for 4 days this summer and had a blast. A good friend of mine who lived in SF […]

This January (the 11th, to be precise) marks 7 years since I moved to Europe. Wow, what a strange trip its been. Hard to believe it has been that long. Here’s the story thus far.

After graduating from the University of Oregon in 2000, I packed my backs and moved to the small East German town […]

In keeping with the theme of documenting cool places to go, next up is Oregon. I grew up in Oregon, spread between the small town of Albany and the even smaller non-incorporated-township of Lacomb. (this is really just a fancy way of saying we moved way out into the country.)
The Pacific Northwest is a beautiful […]

People ask me a lot what there is to do in places I’ve visited or lived. I’m happy to oblige, but generally I lose the lists and have to do them again. To avoid a replay, I’m posting them here for future reference. To start with, things to do in Amsterdam.
There’s so much to […]
