For the third year in a row, readers of The Source Weekly have voted Hack Bend as the best local blog in their annual survey! (I know I’m behind a bit on this, but I was out of town with the family since Wednesday.) Wow, what can I say but … Continue reading
It’s been busy as we’re entering the last couple of weeks before Christmas, and I just haven’t had time to post much. So here’s a number of things people have submitted lately that I haven’t yet gotten to. Singer/songwriter Laurel Brauns (who plays locally as/with the Sweet Harlots) has put … Continue reading
One of the early goals I had for Hack Bend was to ultimately move toward a group blogging model, because, let’s face it, I can’t cover everything by myself—there’s too much good stuff going on in Bend for one person. So I’m finally dialing things in and inviting some folks … Continue reading
The Source’s Best of Bend poll is online again (and in their paper last week)—you’ll have to register for an account with them if you want to vote—and while Hack Bend won Best Blog last year, I have to agree with Jake and encourage everyone to vote for someone else … Continue reading
Since spring break is in full swing, I’m taking most of the week to take a "spring break" from the blogging and recharging a bit. I’ll probably still be online a bit (can’t shake that habit for long, you know), but in the meantime, don’t break anything while I’m not … Continue reading

In a drunken haze some time during June … Continue reading

The Source‘s Best of Central Oregon issue came out this week, and Hack Bend was named "Best Blog"! The "Best Of" results were submitted and voted on by the Source readership, and it’s a really, really cool feeling to open up the weekly and see the shout-out in print. Thanks … Continue reading
We spent the past week or so out of town, and only just got back late last night. With limited internet connectivity (plus really no time), it made for a nice "blog vacation" but now we’ll be getting back into the swing of things. I’ve updated the calendar with the … Continue reading
Blogging and Twittering will be very light this week; other things are going on and I may or may not have much computer access. (I’ll at least try to keep up on Twitter since that’s easier.) In the meantime keep an eye on the calendar and don’t forget the Free … Continue reading
