Whoa: Venerable NW institution Wildwood will close its doors next week, after a 20-year run on NW 21st Avenue. Eat Beat breaks the news that the restaurant will mark its final day on Tuesday, February 25, after ongoing lease negotiations fell through. In an announcement (full text posted below), general manager Cana Flug says: "We've been in lease negotiations for a while and unfortunately we were not able to come to an agreement that made sense for us."

Chef Cory Schreiber founded Wildwood back in 1994, and earned the James Beard Award for Best Chef Northwest four years later. Schreiber left the restaurant in 2007, and chef Dustin Clark has served as executive chef ever since. In its two decades, the restaurant was well-known for pioneering "Pacific Northwest" cuisine. According to an announcement, Clark plans to team with Flug for another project in the near future, but until then, there's just one week left to say your Wildwood goodbyes.

We will be closing Wildwood on Tuesday, February 25. We are proud of our past, our present and what this restaurant has meant to the Portland restaurant community for the last 20 years. We are especially proud of the strides our team has made in recent years and the awesome amount of blood, sweat and tears they have dedicated to the restaurant. After our best year since 2007, it is unfortunate we have to close now. Our team, lead by Executive Chef Dustin Clark in the kitchen, worked hard to bring customers an incredible dining experience each night. Wildwood is where so many life occasions were celebrated, where so much culinary talent came through the door, and where farmers were always our stars. We will miss being a part of your life, but want to thank you, our Portland community for your incredible support over the years. You have all been a part of the Wildwood family.

Please join us this entire week through Tuesday, February 25th for seven days of celebratory send off. We hope you'll stop by, raise a last glass with us and send Wildwood off in style! With the closure of Wildwood, Executive Chef Dustin Clark and General Manager Cana Flug plan to embark on a new concept together. Details will be forthcoming in the near future.

Hi,

you might find this interesting: we’ve recently released a project about the limited accessibility of public transport (subway + commuter trains) in New York, London and Hamburg. The results are maps with an interactive slider that let you explore how thinned out the transportation network get’s when you’re handicapped e.g.

here’s a mapgif-preview:

and here all the information about the project http://mappable.info/blog/2014/2/8/accessibility

Transit Maps says:

The depiction of physical accessibility on transit maps of is something I’ve touched on before – see this great 2007 map of the London Underground with all the inaccessible stations removed (Nov. 2011, 5 stars) – but this is a fantastic and intuitive way to show the difference between all stations and only the accessible ones.

You should definitely click through to the full blog entry about this project and see the full interactive maps that have been created for New York, Hamburg and London. If you’ve been inspired, they also give ideas and instructions on how to create a similar map for the transit in your city.

In my latest story for Details.com (upgraded to a feature!) I wrote about pechuga-style mezcals. These are mezcal redistilled with seasonal fruits and nuts, plus a chicken or turkey (or deer or rabbit or pig) hanging in the still. I thought there were only a couple on the market, but there are at least 8 different brands available in the US. on the market. I looked into the origins/history of pechuga and how a few of them differ from each other. Plus: 26 different bars in which to drink it. Have a look!

Millions of Americans (including Barack Obama, apparently) attempted to binge-watch at least some of their way through the 13 hour-long episodes of the second season of Netflix’s hit political thriller House of Cards,which was releasedlast weekend (a long holiday weekend in the US). Binge-watching is far from being a US-only phenomenon, as evidenced by the fact that the UK-based Oxford Dictionariesshort-listed it for word of the year in 2013.

Yet according to the latest data from the OECD (from 2011, but released in July last year) the US is way ahead of the rest of the world in its TV addiction. The members of an average American household collectively watch more than eight hours of television a day, while the rest of the OCED ranges from two hours a day (Sweden) to just under five (Hungary).

How is such a wide gap possible? It can’t just be explained by differences in household sizes. In 2011, American households averaged 2.57 residents, while Australia (where a household watches a little over three hours a day) averaged 2.52, the UK (four hours) had 2.12, and Sweden had 1.99.

The OECD confirmed to Quartz that the US data, which were sourced from the Federal Communications Commission, are accurate. In its Communications Outlook( p. 184) from which the above chart is taken, it acknowledged the data may reflect differences between “methodologies that have not been hamonized” but said that data “probably do provide a general indication of differences in consumption.”

Vocalist Miche Braden joined Scott Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox to perform an amazing rendition of the 1988 Guns N’Roses hit song “Sweet Child O’ Mine“, 1920s New Orleans style.

Our friend Miche Braden returned to help us show what Guns N’ Roses “Sweet Child O’ Mine” would have sounded like if New Orleans blues legend Bessie Smith had recorded it back in the ’20s. That note at 3:58 was so powerful that the room literally shook…

Previously we wrote about Puddles the Sad Clown and Postmodern Jukebox performing a 1970s piano ballad cover of ‘Royals’ by Lorde and Postmodern Jukebox Band performing an old time-y jazz cover of “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.

Here is a sample of some of the projects that the Library Digital Production Unit has been working on in recent days.





This long term, ongoing project digitizes a large collection of photographs from the Rauner Special Collections Library. To date we have scanned approximately 17,000 photographs. The physical collection is currently housed in file cabinets in Rauner and is a "diverse collection of approximately 80,000 photographs related to Dartmouth College, Hanover and the surrounding area. Images date from the early years of photography (ca. 1850s) to the present and include images of nearly all aspects of Dartmouth College life".

Power Structure of Oppression

doubleTwist, the company behind the popular multi-platform iTunes-compatible doubleTwist Media Player, today brought its new AirPlay Recorder app to the Mac, allowing iTunes users to capture and save streaming audio for offline use.

First introduced for Android in January, AirPlay Recorder is designed to record audio, such as streaming songs from iTunes Radio, using AirPlay. After downloading and installing the app, it will appear as an AirPlay device within iTunes and will record audio after being selected from the AirPlay device list.


The app will record any audio or radio stream played within iTunes to a "Recorder" folder within the Music folder for offline playback. Recording audio is done in real time, which means a four minute song will take four minutes to record, and a reliable Internet connection is necessary because the app checks recording quality.

Apps like AirPlay Recorder, such as Audio Hijack Pro have been previously available, but at a higher price. The legality of AirPlay Recorder and similar apps is unclear, but according to doubleTwist co-founder Monique Farantzos, who spoke to Engadget back in January, the company is unconcerned about the app's legal status.

"Recording has been around for decades, from audio cassettes (remember mix tapes?) to TuneIn radio's recording feature. Given that Apple built their iPod empire on letting millions of people rip CDs based on fair use, we don't see how they could object to this app."

Along with Farantzos, doubleTwist also boasts Jon Lech Johansen as a co-founder, one of the developers behind DeCSS, a computer program able to decrypt content on commercially produced DVDs. Johansen was prosecuted in Norway back in 2002 for developing the software, but was later acquitted.

doubleTwist's AirPlay Recorder for Mac can be downloaded for free from the doubleTwist website. The free version allows users to record 10 second samples while full recording capability can be unlocked for $9.99.
