The teaser for this documentary has been haunting me in my dreams so I made a bumper sticker about it. shop.object.computer/stickers/not-t…

Making dumb bumper stickers is my true passion and art. I’m selling some. If you’re not in the Portland area, I can ship them for a few bucks. Legally speaking, the Unipiper owes me nothing. The Pickle is a goddamn thief though. www.facebook.com/share/1CAsvApDc2

Four bumper stickers are displayed, containing humorous and satirical messages about child support, police eating Voodoo Donuts, and an incident at the Oregon City Municipal Elevator.

Four humorous and expressive bumper stickers are displayed, featuring themes from rodeo, irritable bowel syndrome, a mountain climb, and a playful slogan about bread spinning.

Using my recovery time to watch movies and do LEGO. I’ve owned this, unfinished, for an embarrassing amount of time. I’m excited to find a place to hang it.

We’re calling our trip off early because the back pain I’ve been experiencing turned out to be shingles. Happy it wasn’t my gallbladder or something. Here’s a few photos I managed to catch.

I demand that PDX start selling merch with the absolute banger characters they’ve created. I would fight a person for one of the giant sticky notes featuring these little weirdos they hung during the construction. Even this serene donut dude on the wifi landing page is great.

I’m pleased with the latest design changes I made to my blog. I’ve been collecting inspiration from other small web blogs for a while and finally implemented a few vanity features. My favorite: switching my footnotes to a “marginalia” style. object.computer/colophon

I took this photo of my dog about a year back when I first got my Ricoh GRiii. It was a test for a film recipe. I am surprised by how much I still like it. The Ricoh is a near perfect adventure camera. I do miss having a viewfinder, though. The dog is cool too […] [Original post on moss.haus]

Spending the week wandering around Oregon again. Highlights so far include: Crack-in-the-Ground, a 2 mile canyon wrenched into the earth in the middle of the desert. Summer Lake Hot Springs and Wildlife Refuge. A neat floor lamp.

Mentally preparing myself for my 100 mile ride by reflecting on how my 65 mile ride didn’t kill me entirely. If I never post again it’s because I was wrong.

My new escape is a digital road trip w/ friends, using a HiAce van converted to ‘play’ American Truck Simulator. We take our seats and act out the ritual of a road trip: chatting, snacking, drifting from city to city in a version of America that demands nothing from us but smooth deliveries.

In positive news, I am stoked to have marched in my first parade with Les Incompetents. Everyone carried an instrument they don’t know how to play and did their best to bring joy. We handed out kazoos and vuvuzelas to the crowd so they could participate in shared cacophony.

Lately I’ve been collecting vintage ads for HiAce and LiteAce vans. I’m not sure to what end except to fill the void. Here are some of my favorites.

A photo of a green HiAce on a beach with its hatch open. It’s full of adventure gear. Two people stand nearby, prepping for a scuba dive. Their tanks are on the ground.

A maroon Toyota van is parked near trees. A family is setup to have a picnic. They have gear setup and a man is cooking. Nearby a woman and a child take a photo together.

Last night I started the install for a set of fog lights on my HiAce’s bullbar. Still need to finish the last bit but delayed because I want an OEM switch that needs to ship from Japan. It was a real shame to come out of the shop into this PNW fog and not be able to get a rad picture after.

A 1998 Japanese van sits centered in the frame, parked in a lot of similar vans. Its front lights are on. It has a bull bar with fog lights mounted to it. They are off because the owner of the van got sleepy and didn't want to wait for the install to finish.

My contribution to last night’s collage night with the homies. Challenged by the appropriate level of alt text for this.

A collage of cut out images. At the bottom is an add for prostate formula and a house. In the middle are two people reaching out from an internet explorer window with their arms crossed. One has a cartoonish blue head with red eyebrows. The others has a camera flash for a head. Behind them are alternating outdoor patterns.
