The Leaving Song

Friday, April 28th, 2006

Dude, I made it onto my girlfriend’s blog. I guess this means it is internet-official, and so I’m allowed to write gushing posts about her. Well, if anyone hadn’t figured it out from hearing me obsess about how hella tight she is or hints on thefacebook, now they know. In short: a cute math major […]

Yeah You

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

I haven’t updated in a while. If you’re interested in public education drop me a line. Between three and eight years from now I’m going to call you back. Promise.

Yay numbers. Yay jobs?

Monday, February 20th, 2006

This weekend I rediscovered the Bureau of Labor Statistics website. Large bureaucracies may not always be the most efficient or practical organizations in the world, but you can’t beat them for massive amounts of data (see also BEA or BLM or, my favorite for voting research, the USCB). Oooh! Look at all those numbers! So […]

Big Plans Big Crash

Friday, February 17th, 2006

…to quote Less Than Jake. Hopefully it’s a crash in the fun sense like when you’re snowboarding and fall into a huge drift and laugh it off and just have the minor inconvenience of having to crawl/swim your way out of the loose snow, which is good exercise anyway. As opposed to into a tree […]

Going, Going

Friday, December 30th, 2005

Back, Back to Cali, Cali. Or as the poppy emo boy says “California, Califorrrniaaaa, Here we Coo-ooome.” Tomorrow morning I’m leavin rainy Oregon behind, in favor of rainy San Francisco (for new year’s). Then maybe a quick stop in San Luis Obispo (315 days of sunshine per year) and finally Claremont. Plus, December was kind […]

Going More Further

Saturday, December 24th, 2005

I still can’t get my head around the idea that I’m leaving Portland in 7 days. I can’t get my head around the idea that I get to take Ops Research (real, interesting, make-a-difference math), Education policy (that matters), Breakdancing, Swimming. Helping create the future of politics. Helping make a difference for thousands of people…

Portland Rocks, part IV

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

You didn’t think I was done praising Portland, did you?

I’ve already talked about the People that Live Here, My Job, and the City. What else is there?

Man, I went on the best date I’ve been on in two years a little while back…

Movin’ Out & Up

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

I gotta say the dopest thing about being out of college (or close) isn’t that the world is your oyster, it’s that the world is your friends’ oyster too. So everyone’s got a story about their college roommate, right… Fortunately I lucked out; I didn’t get those guys that pee in the shower stall and […]
