Writing, editing, storytelling, and more from Jim Gibbons
Yesterday, I mentioned that my brother Dan and I would be forming collaborative teams for Movember this year. Here’s a little behind-the-scenes insight into the initial stages of our efforts this year… Continue Reading “The Gibbons Brothers’ recruitment letters explain Movember”
Ok, ok, it’s only August, I know. But, between being contacted by the folks at the Movember Foundation about this year’s upcoming campaign and receiving an email they sent out about the success of last year’s efforts… what can I say? I’m getting excited! Continue Reading “Movember 2011… Get ready!”
My still relatively new iPhone continues to make life documentation a breeze. A while back, I posted a series my first series iPhone photos. I’m back to post some more. Continue Reading “More Photos via Phone”
When you live in a city you really love, there’s nothing quite like touring around it with out-of-towners. My brother Dan was in the Rose City on business last week and we used the weekend to bike around town, drink beer and eat food cart fare. On a slight buzz as we pedaled through the rain (and eventually that intense fresh-smelling and pure-feeling post-rain sunshine that drenches Portland in a vibe that’s pretty damn magical), all I could think of was how I have to take all my visitors on a similar journey.

I’ve always liked photography, but it wasn’t until journalism school that I really developed a sense of awe and appreciation for people who could use a camera to truly capture life. I’ve seen photogs of different varieties working in their respective fields, I’ve watched friends labor over which photos to choose out of hundreds for college projects, I’ve seen the student POYs judged and while I know and understand very little about the art, I’m always happy to run across some fine photography. If you’re of the same mentality, I suggest checking out the fine work of my friends Anna Goellner and Carli Davidson. Local cartoonist Emi Lennox has a photo tumblr worth checking out, as well, if you have any interest in seeing some fine shots of the Rose City. Continue Reading “Photos via Phone”
Many of you may remember that I was actively involved in last year’s Movember campaign. Along with my trusty troop of ‘stache soldiers, Team Mammoth-Stache, it’s a fact that our mo’ mastery and vocal fund-raising efforts were things of hirsute beauty. Need more proof? Well, how about this gracious letter from Movember Co-Founder and CEO, Adam Garone! Continue Reading “Movember 2010 Follow-Up”
I drank my first beer around a campfire in the Northwoods of Wisconsin when I was 16 years old. Due in no small part to that experience, a hearty drink—in my mind—is always best after a bit of adventure, ideally with steadfast compatriots. Continue Reading “Beer Trek”
I was reading issue #6 of Chris Roberson and Mike Allred’s iZombie yesterday when I stumbled upon a very familiar scene. Continue Reading “iZombie in Portland”
Portlanders, you’re gonna want to keep the night of Wednesday, Movember 17 free. Why? Well, Mammoth-Stache will be hosting a double feature of ferocious mustachioed-movie action at Red Flag that you won’t want to miss! Continue Reading “Manly Mustache Movie Night: Movember 17!”
Much like a Facebook for crumb catchers, Movember has added a networking feature to its Web site this year. Basically a way for like-minded mo-growers to band together, Movember’s networks can be used to group people by height, weight, geographical location or a penchant for ponies—just so long as you ask them to make a network page for your social group of choice.
