Court came into work today but unfortunately had to leave almost straight away. She may be coming down with the flu.
Without her here to keep us in line, it’s become a bit of a frat house here in the office. So much so, that we decided to change the curtains here in the office (pop-up [read more]

BootsnAll on the Road - literally…

Date: August 26th, 2005 |

Today the entire office is out on the road, literally, running in the Hood to Coast 197 mile relay race. Over the course of 24 hours(ish), 12 runners will each run 3 times.
It’s something that we’ve known was coming up but didn’t really pay too much attention to since there was so much going on [read more]

What Time Is It?

With BnA’s offices in Portland and Bali, and employees and family scattered around the world, I’m often wondering what time it is in various locations. For some time now I’ve been using this excellent site that I’ve customized with my important cities. Today I found a site that perhaps isn’t quite as customisable, but certainly [read more]

New York in the Rain

My seat on the flight from Seattle to Newark was right at the very back. The plane was full so I guess I was lucky to get on and not have to wait for the next one at 1pm. I powered through most of a new book I started reading - The Curious Incident of [read more]

Portland Ice Storm 2005!

Date: January 17th, 2005 |

Portland pretty much slid to a stop on Saturday after waking up to an ice storm. Even though I had seen it predicted in the paper and on the news a couple of days in advance, enough people decided it was still a good idea to head out onto the roads. Consequently, there were something [read more]

.travel Domain Name Now Available

Date: October 3rd, 2005 |

No Comments

Back in April, we heard rumblings about the .travel domain extension. Now it’s out there and available….but only if your company qualifies. Individuals are not eligible to purchase a .travel domain unless “they offer a service, such as advice on how to get there.”
Methinks this could get murky in no time.

Today Sean and I set off on our 10 day road trip to Yellowstone National Park to re-hike the trail that we developed the original BootsnAll code of conduct on. The first version was a little rough around the edges and we’ve since toned it down, but we still believe in it.

Our first day got [read more]

After a late start, I finally dragged myself out to see a small portion of NYC. I’d formulated a rough plan of what I wanted to get to, and how to get there, and bought an all day Metro pass ($7) before jumping on the #1 subway heading downtown.

First stop was Battery Park, [read more]

So I was ready to be posting from the traditional Wi-Fi place at PDX airport before my 7am departure to New York. But I arrived, checked in and they put me on an earlier flight to Seattle. I still had to wait for my connection to Newark, but Sea-Tac does not offer free wi-fi [read more]

BootsnAll Goes Bavarian in Leavenworth, WA

The BootBoyz left Portland today, giving the new Toyota Prius the first real run on a road trip up to Leavenworth, WA. This is the location of our year-end meeting - some time away from the office to really think about what BootsnAll can be and how we can make it all happen. Court and [read more]
