This was my first time seeing a Tesla Model 3 where someone had swapped the logo badge in person. They added an Audi 4 rings logo:
1) it was crooked, about 5º off 🤭
2) if you want to convince us you are one of the good guys maybe don't put a "Galactic Empire" symbol on it?

Trump sold $500 million of Venezuelan oil and put the money in a private offshore account. There’s no better time to get an EV & home solar to stop supporting this if you can.

Espresso and a vegan chocolate chip cookie this morning from Exquisite Creatures in the central east side of Portland today. This is my favorite vegan cookie in the city right now and they make them in house!

Got stuck on the Burnside Bridge while a ship passed underneath crossing over the Willamette River on the way to the studio in Portland. But that’s ok, just listening to some Machado Mijiga electro hyper jazz in my Polestar EV while I wait for the bridge to go back down ☺️ #ev

Driveway moments with our Ioniq 5. I really didn’t expect how awesome charging an EV at home would be compared to getting gas in an old oil burner. And we just charge this car off a standard wall outlet! 🚗⚡️🔌

A chilly but sunny coffee this morning at Courier Coffee in downtown Portland with my friend @jamesowendesign.bsky.social and a small group for something called "Founders Coffee". A monthly coffee for entrepreneurs.
Portland parking karma persists. Parked the Polestar EV right in front.

It’s funny when I see articles with headlines like “manufacturers are pulling back from EVs” because that is a completely US centric POV. Global brands are doubling down. Any global brand pulling back from electric cars is destined to become a mere regional player. www.whichev.net/2025/12/26/r...

Monday morning EV life. It’s nice to wake up to a fully “fueled” car every morning. The PNW was looking very PNW in this photo. With everything going on in the world now is a great time to get an #EV.

Our Ioniq 5 EV parked right up front.

Power up from Spielman’s Bagels before heading out to a protest in Portland today. Spielman’s makes my favorite vegan sausage,egg & cheese sandwich in PDX, especially on their Salt & Herb Bagel… IMO Spielman’s has the best bagels in the city. The most like a NY Bagel.

One lesson I’ve learned from the last year of chaos, life is unpredictable. You’ve got to live life while you have it. Spend time with friends, go out to see art, music, comedy, make a full life.
Last night went out to see Machado Mijiga in Portland.
