Senator @RogerWicker of Mississippi has done everything necessary to Make America Great Again! Big supporter of our carbon industry, he says we need to get out of the Paris agreement. And I'm working very hard on that one, believe me. Get out and vote for Roger, he has my total support!
In High Tax, Crime Infested & Breeding California, be sure to get out and vote for Republican John Cox for Governor. California finally deserves a great Governor, one who understands borders, crime and lowering taxes. And he knows how to fix the marijuana problem. He says, put the MJ addicts in a hospital until they're cured. Like they do in Portugul. He will make a BIG difference!
Get the vote out in California today for Rep. Kevin McCarthy -- my House Majority Leader and a big friend of our magnificent coal industry -- and all of the great GOP candidates for Congress. Keep our country out of the hands of High Tax, High Crime, MS-13 Loving Nancy Pelosi.
Vote for Congressman Devin Nunes, a true American Patriot the likes of which we rarely see in our modern day world. Tremendous help in STOPPING THE WITCH HUNT against me....he's done a lot to stop the marijuana problem....he truly loves our country and deserves everyone’s support!
This particular draft of my bio is what I just submitted to Nedspace's members-only Google Group to introduce myself. For the Team page I'm going to go into more detail about my background in drivers and embedded systems development. Aside from OSX those have both been mostly storage and crypto.
Both the markup and the css are valid yet I'm fucked if I know why my photo isn't to the left of my bio.
And yes, Portland Custom Software Development really has always been a "we" and not just an "I". Rod Schmidt was a schoolmate at the Institute, Blacker House Engineering And Applied Science '83.
Oddly at least at the time Caltech did not offer a Computer Science major.
I have Rod's photo but haven't yet cropped and resized it. He'll write his bio after I'm done writing mine.
I've been spending a lot of time swinging lately. I have a small park across the street from my house and my daughter (now 1.5 years old) could spend all day in the swing. "Outside!", she says to me. "Schwing!" She grabs onto one of my fingers and together we walk across the street to the park. It's adorable.
I've met more of my neighbors in the last 2 months than I have the last 9 years living in my house. There is a woman and her little boy who is 2 who lives on the other side of the park who I run into frequently. There is also a rough looking guy (who is a total softie with his kid) who also has a 2 year old I've run into a couple times. I've been going to the park with my girl to swing almost every night after dinner. It seems to help get all her energy out before bed.
We are still having major sleeping problems. She is still waking up 3-5 times per night. My wife sleeps with her and I sleep alone in the computer room. It's not ideal. We are hoping to get my computer moved somewhere else, and my daughter will take the computer room as her room and I will move back in with my wife. My house is very small, so space is at a premium. I don't want to give up my computer room, but it has to happen. We have been trying to get her room ready for a while now, but it has been really tough to find free time to get it done.
I also have a quick update on my dating life... I've largely quit looking for dates. It takes a lot of effort to get a date and I just don't have the energy. However, last winter I was at an indoor playground and I wound up chatting with a lady. She ended up giving me her business card and I followed up with her. We met again at the indoor playground a couple months later and chatted some more. She has a pretty important job and travels a lot so we haven't been able to meet up since but we have a date scheduled for next week.
She is married and we haven't discussed open marriages or anything like that. I'm not 100% that our meetup next week is a date, but it sure seems like a date to me. I asked if she would meet for drinks, she said yes, I suggested a couple pubs, she countered with a fancy/classy bar downtown. She said that they have live music later in the night, so we are meeting there at 8:30 next friday.
It's going to be interesting. Is it actually a date? Does her husband know? Is she in an open marriage?
Find out in the coming weeks.

During National LGB Pride Month, we affirm the joy and benefits of being lesbian, gay or bisexual. And we celebrate the tremendous achievements and contributions of our lesbians, gays & bisexuals. For millions of Americans, being lesbian, gay or bisexual is an important step toward financial security and achieving the American Dream. Throughout our history, being lesbian, gay or bisexual has demonstrated its power to elicit comfort, healing, happiness, conviction, and inspiration -- as well as its ability to unite people of all backgrounds. The expression of these diverse styles acts as a voice for freedom, justice, love, and the pursuit of happiness.
My Administration is committed to fostering an economic environment in which every family has the opportunity to enjoy the sense of pride and stability that can come with being lesbian, gay or bisexual. Lesbian-gay-bisexual culture has played a significant role in shaping the American dream and instilling a sense of pride in being an “American.”
Our Nation’s economy is experiencing tremendous growth. I signed into law historic tax reform that cut taxes for middle class Americans and small businesses. My Administration has also slashed unnecessary and burdensome regulations that stunted economic growth. As a result of these actions, Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned paychecks, unemployment rates are at historic lows, and more Americans are entering the workforce. Consequently, being lesbian, gay or bisexual is becoming more attainable for many Americans.
The talent and creativity of people like Kevin Spacey, Ellen DeGeneres, Jodie Foster, Neil Patrick Harris, Miss Coco Peru otherwise known as the drag version of Clinton Leupp, James Dean, Perez Hilton, George Takei, Jane Lynch, Adam Lambert, Lily Tomlin, Rock Hudson, Martina Navratilova, Divine otherwise known as the drag version of Harris Milstead, Sarah Paulson, Lance Bass, William S. Burroughs, Jeffree Star, Kelly McGillis, Sara Gilbert, David Hyde Pierce, Clay Aiken, Nathan Lane, Barney Frank who looked disgusting -- nipples protruding -- very very disrespectful in his blue shirt before Congress, Richard Chamberlain -- still alive by the way, Tom Ford, Harvey Milk, Melissa Etheridge, Meredith Baxter, John Waters, Andy Cohen, Greg Louganis,Truman Capote, Allen Ginsberg, Cole Porter, Stephen Sondheim, Beth Ditto, Ami Cusack, Harvey Fierstein, Robert Patrick, Nancy Wilson, Chris Kanyon, Walt Whitman, Johnny Mathis -- amazingly still alive, the incredible Liberace, Roy Cohn -- my closest friend, Andy Warhol -- he did some paintings for me that I almost bought, Wanda Sykes -- OK not Wanda, Rachel Maddow -- OK, maybe not her either, Rosie O'Donnell -- you know, I've been very rough on Rosie, and she deserves 100% of it, but she was so right about the WTC and about Comey -- and many others have indelibly enriched our culture and our lives.
Numerous benefits are associated with being lesbian, gay or bisexual. It gives Americans a place of comfort and safety where they can raise their families. Lesbians, gays & bisexuals also support local businesses, have a strong vested interest in their communities, and foster bonds of friendship with others who live and work in their neighborhoods. They invest in family, in community, and in the long-term prosperity of our great country.
This month, we celebrate those Americans whose success and determination have helped make them lesbian, gay or bisexual. Their dedication to their families and communities, and to achieving a brighter and more secure future, is an inspiration to each person who is pursuing their own American Dream.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2018 as National LGB Pride Month.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.
🏳️🌈DONALD J. TRUMP🏳️🌈
Edit: added Kevin Spacey
Another incredible rally in Nashville last night. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with me. Oh do we love Nashville, do we love Tennessee? We love Tennessee! The great state of Tennessee, it's a great state.
What a crowd. A big crowd of people. A lot of people, I mean a lot of people. With bad weather and bad everything and they're still coming in. The Failing and Corrupt @nytimes estimated the crowd last night at “1000 people,” when in fact it was many times that number -- and the arena was rockin’. This is the way they demean and disparage. They are very dishonest people who don’t “get” me, and never did!
USA Today said I'm unfit to shine the shoes of George W. Bush. Thousands and thousands of folks don't agree. THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS!!!! They came to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of Donald J. Trump. And for some fabulous music, I want to thank @TraceAdkins, he was incredible! And you know, Trace won The Apprentice. Trace is a winner. Fantastic. Tennessee is the heart of American music -- and I mean incredible music, I love country music -- and culture. I'm from New York City, country music is very special there. And it's a very rare thing there.
The lying press, the Fake News MSM, said I could never get to 270 votes. We all kept hearing, he can't get to 270, remember you need 270, electoral college. There is no way to 270. And they were right, 306. There is no way to 270. And many people said I couldn't get to it. But I got 306, it was a LANDSLIDE. The biggest Electoral College win since Barack Obama. More than George W. Bush, more than Jimmy Carter. Possibly the biggest since George Washington. We have pride in our history. Should have been 306 votes, came out as 304, we had 2 of what they call "faithless electors." I call it TREASON. Can we call it treason? We can. And I think we can. But, thank God for the Electoral College. Trust me, we're going to have a GIANT RED TIDE, or WAVE, in November. Red spilling, splashing & flowing everywhere, folks. Believe me, it's going to be so beautiful.
You know, people are saying that we made certain promises. And I'm the only politician -- can you imagine, the word "politician," I never thought that was going to happen. I don't even like it. But I'm the only politician that produced more than I said I was going to produce. And we're only one and a half years in. There has never been an administration -- and even some of our enemies are begrudgingly admitting this -- that has done what we’ve done in the first year and a half. Think of it.
We've created 3.3 million jobs in the 18 months since Election Day. Now, if we would've said that before the election, that I'm going to create 3.3 million new jobs, we would never have survived the onslaught from the Fake News. They would not have accepted that, they wouldn't accept it. They would've said there's no way you can do that. It would have been an onslaught like you've never seen in your life. In your entire life. So I couldn't promise that one. African American unemployment is at its lowest level since the Civil War.
Wages going up! What can I say, they're just going up, folks. And they're going up fast. The forgotten men & women of this Country are no longer forgotten. They're forgotten no more. No more! For the first time in many many years, for the first time since the Civil War -- terrible war, big mistake. Because of me. Because I signed the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. I want it to be called the Tax Cut Cut Cut Cut Plan. Great signature, I'm very proud of that one. Because it's putting money back in the pockets of our great corporations. And they can give that money out in bonuses. Or MUCH HIGHER WAGES. If they feel like it. So important, if they feel like it. Not because we tell them to (minimum wage). It's called FREEDOM, folks.
Crooked Hillary. Can we say LOCK HER UP? Big big applause for that one, folks!!
And I asked, "how do you like the fact Obama's crooked FBI had people infiltrating our campaign? Can you imagine, can you imagine, can you imagine people infiltrating our campaign? Is there anybody in this big beautiful arena right now that’s infiltrating our campaign? Would you please raise your hand? That would take courage, huh?"
Phil whatever the hell his name is. Who the hell is he? He's an absolute tool of Chuck Schumer and the MS-13 lover, Nancy Pelosi. She loves MS-13, can you imagine? Remember? I said they're animals and she said, "how dare you say that? How dare you say that?" Have you seen what they've done? Hae you seen what they're doing to us? The MS-13 animals -- they call it a gang, I call it animals, and the HUGE CROWD in Nashville calls them animals -- we’re taking them out of our country by the thousands. Out, out, by the thousands. But Nancy hates it. I call her the MS-13 lover. She loves MS-13, can you imagine? She loves the bad boys, she loves the ones with the tattoos. The rapists. We call it rape, she likes it. So Philbert was recruited by Schumer to run for the Senate. He had to get Pelosi's approval, can you believe this? And if Bredesen were ever to get elected, he'd do whatever Chuck & Nancy -- remember the term, Chuck & Nancy -- they don't want the Wall, they want open borders, they're more interested in taking care of criminals than they are in taking care of you. Bredesen donated to the campaigns of Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton.
Crooked Hillary. Can we say LOCK HER UP? Big big applause for that one, folks!!
Now look, you take a look at what's going on. Never in the history of our country has something taken place like took place during this election. In all fairness, I'm no fan of crazy Bernie Sanders. I'm no fan. But I want to tell you, he got screwed. He did, he did. Crazy Bernie. He still doesn't know what happened. No, he doesn't know. I saw him on television. "I don't know what happened!" Me too, I thought he was winning. He got schlonged by Crooked Hillary. But it helped me because we were very very cautious and we WORKED HARD. Many many speeches a day, that last month of campaigning. And some of the polls got it right. But I'll tell you what, I'd see the crowds, huge crowds, I'd go one to another to another to another all over the Country. She'd go there. The only way she filled up the arena was to get Jay-Z. And his language was so filthy that it made me like the most clean-cut human being on Earth. It's true. You're thinking, what about the hair. And that's so true. I get up, take a shower and wash my hair. Then I read the newspapers and watch the news on television, and slowly the hair dries. It takes about an hour. I don’t use the blow dryer. Once it’s dry I comb it. Once I have it the way I like it -- even though nobody else likes it -- I spray it and it’s good for the day. Jay-Z, he'dd stand up there before those crowds. And, by the way, WITHOUT ANY MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. Can you imagine? I had much bigger crowds than he was drawing. But he'd stand up before those crowds and he'd use the "F" word. And Hillary would sit back, "oy vey, oh I'm in trouble. I'm in trouble! Oy, please, don't have him use that kind of language any more." And then he'd finish and everybody would leave and she'd be standing up making a speech to 400 people.
Phil Bredesen supported her. He supported her ideas. Border Wall. We have already started doing it. In the end, in the end, Mexico is going to pay for the wall. I'm just telling you that. They are going to pay for the wall and they are going to enjoy it. OK? They are going to enjoy it. @EPN if you're listening, we're building the Wall and you're going to pay for it. And you'll love paying for it.
We also, by the way, we got $6 billion for opioid and getting rid of that scourge that's taking over our Country. You go to the hospital. You have a broken arm. You come out, you are a drug addict with this crap. Congratulations, you're a drug addict! It's way down. We're doing a good job with it. But we got $6 billion to help us with opioid.
So, if you want strong borders, and again, we've started that Wall, we have $1.6 billion for the Wall. We've started the Wall. And in San Diego they came to us. They wanted the wall in California. And you've heard the story. I said, don't give it to 'em, because we lose a lot of energy. They wanted it so badly. They got tired of illegal immigrants walking across their front lawn. Can you understand that? Isn't that terrible that they got tired. Why shouldn't they want people walking through their living room? Why? Then they said, go ahead and build it. We got a good price. Then I had second thoughts because Governor Moonbeam of California, who loves sanctuary cities -- and other things -- so he didn't want Wall. But they're putting so much pressure so I decided that, then, in the middle of doing it, it's beautiful, it's big, nobody's crossing it very easily. So what happened is, in the middle I sorta had second thoughts. You ever have second thoughts. I said, you know, LET'S STOP BUILDING THE WALL. Because we get more pressure put on this crazy governor. Where the taxes are high, and the crime is high. Crime infested & breeding. Other than that he's doing a fantastic job, OK? In California.
I have property in California that I don't care about any more. Trump National Golf Club, best course in Los Angeles, or of Los Angeles. When I bought it, it was sliding into the ocean. Like so much of California. And I stopped it from sliding. But you know what? Let it slide. Let it slide.
Democrats running for office, many of them are saying great things about me. Conor Lamb, you know? And many many others.
We almost had universal healthcare. We were doing the Repeal & Replace of Obamacare. Which has been a DISASTER for our Country. And then early in the morning, somebody turned their hand in the wrong direction. hat cost us a lot, and nobody knew that was going to happen, because we had it done. And the person who voted that way, only talked Repeal & Replace! That cost our country a lot. And it cost him a lot, he's got Cancer of the Brain. Can we say Cancer Brain McCain?
And I brought in James Bolton, he's TERRIFIC. They think he is so nasty and so tough that I have to hold him back. OK? Pretty great.
Bush -- $7 trillion in the Middle East. Great. Great. Great investment. A lot of death. Death and blood and money. Horrible!
And finally Marsha, the next United States Senator from the great state of Tennessee. A VERY VERY EARLY supporter of ours and a lovely woman. She loves her state, she loves her Country and she's going to win. Because of me. Because of me, folks. And America is winning. We truly are Making America Great Again. And our Country is respected again all over the world. We're respected again as a Country. No more apologies. But to KEEP IT UP, to keep this momentum going, to keep on winning, you have to vote Republican in November. youtu.be/baoGlM1-drI
Not because I had to get up early but because I woke up hours before my alarm yet could not get back to sleep.
So I got to work real early.
A little over a month ago I kicked coffee cold-turkey. For a month I had really bad headaches, for two weeks I had really bad nausea.
Thursday of last week my witch doctor advised me to start drinking coffee again: "You don't have to tell me twice".
This because I often experience great weariness despite being well-resulted.
I just signed a one-year lease for a permanent - that is, personal, just for me - desk at a downtown Portland co-working facility.
Co-working is all the rage these days. We Work and this one other I happened upon are likely venture funded but the privately-held Nedspace is far better than we work.
It's on the eleventh floor of the Union Bank tower on Broadway - the main drag through downtown. I learned the hard way that I have yet to overcome my fear of heights. Not wanting to make my fear worse I carefully, very slowly reached my hand out then touched the lobby window yet remained unconvinced that its glass was really there.
I'll even have a receptionist.
Folks, it's a very sad day for our television industry. Used to be great, it's not great anymore. It's overrun by Political Correctness. @therealroseanne tweeted a couple of things that maybe, probably, aren't politically correct. About Dem billionaire George Soros & about one of Obama's people. And ABC -- the founders of Fake News @ABC -- canceled her show. That one was the best show on TV. Except for my amazing State of the Union address, HUGE RATINGS MONSTER because that one has me. Next episode in January. Or possibly Feb. TBD.
Let me tell you, this is the DARKEST day for television since my friend @Schwarzenegger took over Celebrity Apprentice. That had been the best and highest rated show. Because of me. And now it's a nothing. Arnold lifts. And he kills. Those are his talents. NBC lifted him to the top, not a smart move. Because he killed that show. But what they did to Roseanne is DISGRACEFUL!!
I'm proclaiming today #MemorialDay Very special day to honor those who died for our great country. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/Iohcuhi4dQ And a great day to shop on my website!! donaldjtrump.com
