Posted 5/18/2012 1:34pm Updated 5/18/2012: 9:05pm – Today, workers began assembling the wheel portion of the new Seattle Ferris Wheel. It was the first opportunity I got (or anyone got, really) to see the size of the wheel against the backdrop of Downtown Seattle, and I am happy to report that it doesn’t look as out of place as I had feared that it...

I’ve yet to find a tidy way to view these things. Maybe when I shift to Version 8.0 (or whatever) of this site in the next few days, I’ll be able to find a module that handles them elegantly. Until then, you have to click on the image 3 or 4 times to get it to fully open.

Someone got the new Photoshop Touch for Android. Just what the Internet needs, 8,000 more pictures of Seattle.

Last night, to “celebrate” the completion of a certain project, we headed up to Ballard for a bowl of Mike’s chili. Some people celebrate with champagne, others with cocaine, but that high-brow, pretentious stuff doesn’t fly with me. If ground beef and kidney beans are good enough for cowboys and hobos, then it’s good enough for me...

For the past couple of weeks, Seattle has found itself in the bullseye of the Olympic Rain Shadow. Check out the Pineapple Express last week that dumped 7″ of rain in the mountains … and a whopping .01″ on Downtown Seattle (a 700-fold difference): (Image courtesy of the super-cool Kiro 7 Stormtracker @...

Last night, I found myself in West Seattle, where I took the following photographs. In order to take them, I sat in the freezing cold for 3 hours, waiting for the rain to stop, at which point I had a 5 minute window to fire off as many shots as I could. As soon as I got the last frame, the rain moved back in and it hasn’ t stopped pouring since. God, I...

More photos of the Seattle Snow: http://www.seattlerex.com/live-seattle-snow-photos-january-19-2012/ Since it only happens once or twice each year, snow in Seattle is a big deal. Twenty minutes ago (about 11am on Sunday, January 15th), it started snowing pretty hard in Downtown Seattle, and it’s been forecast to c ontinue off and on for the better part of...

Americans love their lame, gratuitous, self-congratulatory, end-of-year retrospectives. The media loves them even more, as recycled content makes for easy filler during the under-staffed holiday season. I’ve generally avoided the trend myself, but this year, I am going to indulge myself. In the past 11 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days, I have taken 600GB of...

It seems like only yesterday I was hanging out in Westlake Park, enjoying Christmas in 2010. Here it is … 2011 … and I’m once again celebrating in exactly the same way. Running around looking at Christmas lights. Why mess with success? Now that I have a family, I really enjoy this time of year. I don’t think I’ve ever gone into details about...
