It&#8217;s not easy to describe how it felt when California passed Proposition 8 – banning same-sex marriages – last week. The same happened in Oregon four years ago. We search for words to express how it feels to know that secretly (and openly) 52% of people hate us. We rage and we cry and we [...]]]></description>

Mine is a pretty cynical generation. Most of us in our 30s have spent the majority of our lives in a recession, in a war over oil, facing climate change, and enduring political parties that fail to inspire much less to lead us to a better tomorrow. We&#8217;ve lacked hope that things will get better, [...]]]></description>

Whatever you do today, wherever you are, get out there and vote! If you&#8217;re in a vote-by-mail state like me, then go hand in your ballot if you haven&#8217;t already.

Between Muxtape, Twitter, and KEXP I&#8217;ve discovered a lot of new-to-me music in the last few months. Normally, I&#8217;d share my latest favorites through my monthly Muxtape, but now that the RIAA has shut that down I&#8217;ll have to settle for an iMix of my favorite songs from each album.
Two artists didn&#8217;t make it on [...]]]></description>

Put aside ideas of &#8220;real Americans&#8221; and &#8220;pro-American&#8221; parts of the country and the divisive rhetoric from both political parties. Look around you. Take in what you see, and realize that we can&#8217;t become a better city, state, or nation without each other — in spite of our differences.
This is the change we need.

One of the wonderful things about running a creative agency is that on the rare 70 degree mid-October day you can play hookey and enjoy the sun. You can&#8217;t take a gift like this and stay inside in the Pacific Northwest. No! It&#8217;s an imperative to get outside, recharge, enjoy the weather and get some [...]]]></description>

How often have you heard someone say &#8220;Well, I need room to haul stuff&#8230;&#8221; when contemplating a new car purchase? This mythical &#8220;stuff&#8221; becomes the rationalization for buying an SUV or station wagon with enough room to haul around large objects. People poo-poo the Prius or similar sized cars as not having enough room for [...]]]></description>

I sent this email to the Obama/Biden campaign earlier today after reading Obama&#8217;s stance on Proposition 8 in California, same-sex marriage, and his Faith &#38; Family tour.

I&#8217;ve been a big fan of the whole &#8220;change&#8221; campaign since the beginning, and feel like Obama can offer the nation some hope in the face of [...]]]></description>

Maybe it&#8217;s that I&#8217;ve played team sports since I was 5, but I love me a team. Not watching teams, but being part of one. I love the cameraderie, the friendly competition, the way the whole transcends the sum of its parts to become something new, better, more awesome. Nothing brings this home for me [...]]]></description>

Just as I was about ready to post my long-overdue August monthly mux, I found out that the RIAA had shut down Muxtape. Whaaaa? Yeah, I heard the needle scratch on the record as the tunes came to a halt, too. And then disappointment in the RIAA set in. Is their goal to stop people [...]]]></description>
