There is a new preview episode of Portlandia Season Two that is now streaming on Hulu - check it out!
Portlandia is a television series that debuted on the Independent Film Channel (IFC) on January 21, 2011. The show, produced by Andrew Singer and Jonathan Krisel, is set and filmed both in and near Portland, Oregon and features Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen as well as Carrie Brownstein, a member of the now-defunct band Sleater-Kinney and current lead guitarist/singer for Wild Flag.
The name Portlandia refers to the sculpture of the same name above the entrance of the Portland Building on Fifth Avenue in downtown Portland. The statue also appears in the opening montage title sequence.

Lullaby Renditions of Pink Floyd
If you’re like me you probably remember the good ole college days of drinking excessively and listening to Pink Floyd. Well now you can pass that on to your children! Well, maybe not the excessive drinking… but you get the point.
Check out Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Pink Floyd and you too can send your kids to the Dark Side of the Moon!
The Death of an Icon

It is with a heavy heart that I bring you this news. Its official… Sony Corp has ended all sales of its Walkman cassette players. In some ways its hard to believe that it took this long. The Walkman was first launched in 1979 and sold about 220 Million units that year! The device we all grew up with has gone the way of the Dodo.
Sadly this will likely be the death knell for the mix-tape as well. And what am I going to do with my 80′s Metal cassettes??

I think I suffer from the same malady many of us face today. Time. Its like a drug. There isn’t enough of it, I’ve lost track of it, is it the right time, its running out, I cant afford it, and I am wasting it. You get the point.
Now, none of this is new to most of us. Every once in a while we look in the mirror but don’t see that 18yr old that we imagine we still look like. Full of youth and vigor and lacking the lines and gray hairs we see today. But I can deal with getting older, I really don’t have a problem with it. What I do have a problem with is that I am not doing all of the things I always envisioned I would have done by now. That’s not to say I won’t, its just… I am a bit off schedule. This is my problem.
I wont bore you with the laundry list of things I thought I would have done by now, but many of them are typical… seeing Europe, sailing the Caribbean, having that corner office, stuff like that. I don’t think it’s because I’m not capable of doing these things, but haven’t had the time to really devote to getting to them. Stuff keeps happening and it’s never the right time. Read more
iPad Envy

From "We Blog Cartoons"
Alright, I admit it. I have iPad envy… and its not because my iPhone is small. Well, maybe it is. Anyway, I was out the other night chilling with the family having some sushi and the table next to me of college kids had a new iPad and were showing it off. And damn! It is as cool as it looks on TV. I haven’t actually had the chance to hold one and play with it but it does look seriously cool.
One thing that can go away is the constant media attention to it. I can’t turn on the TV or radio without someone talking about iPad this or iPad that. Its everywhere! Which is probably why they have sold 500k of them already.
Does everyone who writes and article or has a blog feel compelled to write about the thing? Oh wait. Anyway, I don’t think I will be able to get a P.O. from the wife to get one anytime soon so I will have to learn to live with envy.
And my iPhone is not small.
