Baby Monitor in the Hallway
Tammy and I are hanging out in this extremely cool, funky hotel in Portland called McMenamins Kennedy School. It used to be a school, but they converted it to a hotel, restaurant and bar. It’s very cool.
Anyway, Mazie is asleep and the monitor doesn’t quiet reach to us. We have it sitting in the hallway about 30 feet from us where we can see the lights if she started hollering for us.
The funny thing is watching people walk by. People keep looking at it. Picking it up. Listening. Etc. It’s a pretty funny social experiment. It makes me think it would be pretty funny to actually broadcast something over it and put it in the hall. Maybe the original War of the Worlds or an early episode of The Shadow. Hmmm…
Dinner at Mama’s for Mexican!
At Top Pot Donuts.
Seattle has a lot of cool indie coffee shops.
- Mazie throws blanket on floor.
- Dad picks up.
- Go to step 1.
Attempted unwise flash of WTR-54GS to DD-WRT while traveling. Doesn’t look good. Have a brick right now. Will investigate more in morning. 🙁
At the REI flagship store in Seattle. When you pass away, if you have been good your whole life, you end up at this REI.
What happens when you give a near 3-year-old a digital camera and explain how to take pictures? You get a lot of pictures!
Summer of Love Day 6 Log
- 9:00 am: Woke up in Seattle and noticed that the F5 Networks office is right across the street from the hotel. “Hi F5!” 👋
- 3:25 pm: Weatherman said rain for Seattle today. Couldn’t be more wrong. Beautiful and sunny.
- 10:12 pm: Discovered The Blair St. Mugwumps today at a music event in Seattle. Totally whacky. Bought two albums.

Sounds of Glacier
About three years ago Dante Vono sent around some links to photos he had taken in Italy. They were really great photos, but what hit me more was that he had taken a handful of them with an audio recording as well. I looked at those photos and listened to the audio and was amazed at how the sound just transported me to the place. Arguably, it was more powerful than just watching a video of it.
Inspired by his example, I attempted to do something similar using my Zoom H2 in Glacier National Park. Hit play to experience this picture fully. I like how you can hear the rapids in the background with the water dripping off the rock over the top.
