one must stay sober: not always, but most of the time





so it was off to wine country on Saturday. in keeping with our plan to not have a plan we started out at Bella Vida, moved on to Maresh and then found our selves at Torii Mor's impressive event. We followed this with a quick stop at Wunderlea for their inaugural opening. We had a disgustingly good time tasting wine, gorging ourselves on cheese and crackers. As all things must, this eventually decomposed into a debate on neo liberalism and the ravenous forces of capitalism. Don't worry, no friendships were damaged and any discomfort was assuaged with a raucous bout of four square in the parking lot. Given the chance to stumble your way through the Willamette



valley with your wildly intelligent, Midwestern mobile-software-developing, folklore loving four square driven friends, I strongly encourage you to take the chance and go with it.

Now I am become Joshua, Destroyer of Cell Phones


I don't necessarily consider myself clumsy; however,
Nokia 6021: dropped into a bowl of salty milk tea the same week I bought it.
Moto Razr 1: dropped and pierced (yes the metal casing was actually pierced) by a headphone jack.
Moto Razr 2: dropped some more, so many times the screen would simply go black at times or refuse to charge.
Blackberry Pearl 1: dropped on the ground in HD lumber yard and crushed under my truck tire. When the security guy found it on the ground he simply chucked it in the trash.
Blackberry Pearl 2: Fate to be determined...

Two years and five cell phones later it's become pretty evident I have a penchant for destroying mobile devices. Consider the countdown until Blackberry Pearl 2 bites the dust started...

Are you good at breaking anything?
