Local drink maker Jones Soda lost more than $10 million during the fourth quarter of last year, according to the PI. For the quarter ended Dec. 31, the company posted a 39-cent-per-share loss -- 13 times the 3-cent loss that analysts were expecting.

For the first time in Seattlest's life, we're actually bemoaning the fact that we don't have any tank tops in our closet.

Not having one puts a serious crimp in our plans to go to Sustainable Capitol Hill's Tank Tops to Totes this Saturday at Stitches on Capitol Hill.

We'll be quick with this post, since we've got "tournament training" to finish. This weekend is PAX, the Penny Arcade Expo. This will be the third and largest incarnation of the conference, which is part symposium, part convention, entirely geeky. Gaming nerds of all stripes descend upon Bellevue's Meydenbauer Center for a weekend of competition, education, concerts and demonstrations from the gaming world. You've likely heard of E3, which has traditionally been the gamer's......
