Airline Prices are Ludicrous!

Posted on June 17, 2008

I was checking some airline prices for a summer trip to Florida when I stumbled upon this doozy. What is Alaska Airlines thinking? A year ago, Codi and I headed back east for about $350 round trip – for the both of us! This represents a 2000% increase. Bull-honkey.

lu·di·crous
1 : amusing or laughable through obvious absurdity, incongruity, exaggeration, or eccentricity
2 : meriting derisive laughter or scorn as absurdly inept, false, or foolish
3 : Alaska Airlines’ pricing scheme

Portland Rose Gardens

Posted on June 14, 2008

It was a gorgeous pre-summer day, so Codi and I headed out to the Portland Rose Gardens to enjoy some outside time, take some photos, etc. The sun was extra bright, so pictures didn’t come out quite like I’d hoped. Some of them are pretty decent, though. Here are a few examples:

Festival of Balloons & Carnival Rides

Posted on June 14, 2008

Codi and I went to the Allstate Festival of Balloons with four friends and their G-Force loving kids. Although there were no balloons at the festival while we were there, we had a great time going on some of the carnival rides. We took some good photos, but this quick and jerky video probably gives the best impression.

(The video was taken with a pocket-sized Vado camcorder made by Creative Labs. $99. Not bad. The original video is cleaner. Conversion to Flash dropped the quality quite a bit.)
