Farewell Art Show and Office Happy Hour

at hiromi ogawa architects
107 SE Washington Street, Suite 150

Please join us for happy hour as we showcase the work of two very talented artists who are leaving Oregon next month.  We wish them the best as they seek their next adventure in Tennessee.  Don’t miss this show, as this will perhaps be the last time in a long time that their work will be available in Portland.
A wide variety of pieces will be on display and for sale during the event.  Cash and personal checks with ID will be accepted.

We look forward to seeing you.

Bloodybelly comb jelly.  It’s the stuff of Martians and outer space, yet it has lived in our waters all along.  I love this stuff.

Check out their website for a beautiful video of the jelly in motion.

My newest iPhone app – Seafood Watch

The Monterey Bay Aquarium regularly updates their Seafood Watch, which is a guide to sustainable seafood consumption.  I used to get several copies of the handy little pocket guide from my husband David, who was part of a team that designed a recent remodel and addition to the aquarium.  After the project ended and he stopped having regular access to the newest pocket guides, I started downloading a pdf of it from their website, which wasn’t as small or as colorful (well, I guess it would be if I had the patience to print it out in color and cut along the dotted line), but still did the trick.

But now they’ve come up with an iPhone app. It’s colorful, up-to-date, and best of all, you can SEARCH.

I love it.  You will love it.  Spread the word.
