    Photos The Oogle Express (Oakland to Portland, once again)

    Water and cardboard procured, I squeeze under the fence behind an obnoxious and too-bright big box store. Happily, my train sat there waiting for me, having taken the unusual step of pulling up on a siding, instead of leaving from deep in the Desert yard. Suits me just fine, I think as I start...

    Featured A viking funeral for my cat

    All felt calm and quiet as we pulled into the empty parking lot behind the racetrack. We gathered supplies, and slowly made our way to the shore, if it could be called that. Clouds blanketed the entire sky, but the light pollution from this megatropolis made up for the lack of reflected...

    Help in Oakland?

    There is a pretty rad-looking building a few blocks from where I'm staying now that I'd like to start squatting. It's a bank-owned foreclosure, not on the market, so pretty much an ideal candidate for squatting. If anyone's interested in meeting up and checking it out that would be rad. I'll...

    Storing your stuff indefinitely for cheap/free?

    So, I'm about to be homeless/on the road again, which is pretty exciting, but wholly unplanned this time. I have a bit of stuff, like my bike and tools, that I want to be kept safe, but I don't have the $ or desire to rent a storage locker. Most of my friends live in apartments or squats, so I...
