My name is Joshua Jenkins and this is debris; a collection of tiny snapshots into my life. I make websites in Portland. I like bicycles, coffee, cities, running, beer, and letters. I like other stuff too.

If you're feeling sassy you can ask me a question.

 

  1. One of the most amazing things about Vancouver is the extremely serious approach to density which results in gorgeous and livable areas. This view of downtown Vancouver feels strangely similar to Midtown Manhattan, just quite a bit shorter, which isn’t a negative thing. Midtown Manhattan makes you want to kill yourself, downtown Vancouver does not.

  2. I didn’t spend a lot of time in Gastown while I was in Vancouver this time, but it’s cool little neighborhood with angular street intersections and lots of interestingly shaped buildings. It’s Portland’s equivalent of Old Town except people actually want to go there. I took this photo from Harbour Place, which was the first time I’ve ever gone to a vantage-point style tourist destination in any of the cities I’ve been to or lived in. It was worth the nine Canadian dollars.
