Happy Blogiversary to Me – Dave Knows Turns 6!

June 22, 2013 by Dave Leave a Comment

Dave Knows Portland ButtonToday, June 22, 2013, is the 6th anniversary of my very first blog post here at Dave Knows.

Though the blog hasn’t exactly been going gangbusters this past year (you can thank these little guys), it is still limping along. In fact this post you’re reading right now is #3000 [Ed.: Holy shit!].

Thank you for reading over the years, and please do stick around – I still have some blogging left in me!

Happy Birthday Dear Blog: Dave Knows Portland Turns 5!

June 22, 2012 by Dave 5 Comments

Whew, five years ago today I started this blog – with a post about beer of course!

2,746 posts later I’m still not bored with it, so as long as you’re all still paying attention, I think I’ll keep going.

Though I expect beer, the Timbers, and Fairs and Festivals will continue to dominate the coverage here, soon you may see a bit more of an emphasis on family-friendly activities – as many of you know my wife Heather and I are expecting twin boys. When they arrive [soon!], please forgive the inevitably less rigorous posting schedule – I’ve been told babies take up a lot of time . . . But don’t worry, I have no intentions to abandon the blog (nor turn it into a baby blog).

Thanks for reading!

Dave Knows Turns 4!

June 22, 2011 by Dave 4 Comments

Dave Knows Turns 4 - rocking the birthday hat Unicorn-style!Dave Knows Portland was launched four years ago today – that was one thousand, nine hundred, and thirteen posts ago!

That first post was about beer, which was a harbinger of things to come – the most popular blog post categories over the years (and I’m still not bored of them) are beer, the Timbers, and festival. But I’ve written about everything from eating contests to Canada too. A few categories have actually spawned their own websites – as long time readers know, I’m obsessed with quite fond of poutine, which I now blog about at Portland Poutine. More recently I launched Portland Soccer Bars and TriMet Diaries.

But ultimately, Dave Knows Portland is my home. Heck, I don’t actually live in Portland right now, but I’m still (healthily?) obsessed with what’s going in Portland – both to benefit you, my dear reader, and myself – for I’m still spending a lot of time in Portland (almost every other weekend it seems).

But ultimately on the occasion of the fourth birthday of this blog, I would like to thank you – for making it worth writing.

Thanks for reading, commenting, linking, and lurking – there’d be no point without you!

Dave Knows on I Live Here PDX!

April 22, 2011 by Dave 2 Comments

Me on I Live Here PDX!I Live Here: PDX was created by Portlanders Sara Gray and Erin as a love letter to our fair city.

I Live Here: PDX is a love letter to Portland and an anthology of its residents, neighborhoods and moods. The idea was inspired by a similar project in San Francisco. As native Portlanders who’ve chosen to make our lives here, we want to be a part of celebrating the city we live in and exploring how others live in it.

And today’s my turn! If you have any interest at all, go check out my intriguing answers to questions such as How did you land in Portland? and What was the last thing you ate at a food cart? And see photos of the cool vintage bicycle I ride a couple times a year!

I submitted my answers before I gave notice at my day job and Heather and I decided to move to Astoria, but my interview answers are otherwise true! 😉
