I work for a newspaper in Campbell River, B.C. on Vancouver Island. Another foot was found here this morning at Tyee Spit (the second this week!).

Mark Frauenfelder of the awesome site Boing Boing and the awesome magazine Make Magazine (which Seattlest has contributed articles to) will be in town tonight at the awesome Seattle gallery Roq la Rue. "Retrorama!" opens at the gallery this evening and Mark has some paintings in the show. We sent him some email asking about it and his replies are below. more ›

Though Seattlest has long given up dreams of becoming a professional mountain biker, that doesn't stop us from still wanting to get paid to ride our bikes. (If you tell us to become a bike messenger we will be forced to bitch-slap you.) But the moment is finally upon us, and every other two-wheeled geek in Seattle. The P-I just ran a piece on a number of Seattle-area companies that are "best workplaces for commuters" according a list compiled by an EPA-based coalition. more ›

Courtesy of Boing Boing (it's this little blog you should check out sometime), we discovered that Radar Online -- a.k.a. the magazine that refuses to die -- has an interview with Winter, a 34-year-old freelance computer programmer who has made it his life's mission to visit every Starbucks in the world. That's 12,000 and counting. An excerpt:

The primary rule is I have to drink at least one four-ounce sample of caffeinated coffee from each store. The store has to have actually opened for business; I can't get there the day before, when they have friends-and-family day and they're giving drinks away—in many ways that's kind of arbitrary. It has to be a company-owned store, not a licensed store. I have to drink the coffee, but there is no time limit on when I have to drink the coffee. But the longer I go without drinking it, the greater the risk that I might lose it. There are two stores I need to go back to in Washington State because I didn't finish the coffee—I lost it. I took it out of the store, I had it in a cup, and in the middle of the night I forgot I hadn't drank it all and I used the cup to relieve myself. more ›
