I just found byCycle's portland bike route planner. It's built with open source tools. :) I wish they would integrate the planner into Google maps, or put their bike path layer into Google custom maps.

Since I live on the "courtyard" of the building ( ( Read more... )

Today, Jamey and I looked at the 1 bedroom apartment that was available in the Westfall apartment buildings. What a piece of crap! The apartment needed some severe maintaince.

The lowlights:

• There was water damage behind the bathtub that looked like it had been there for years.
• The kitchen was really small, with a half-sized oven.
• None of the ( Read more... )
