Here’s what we’ve found as we’ve traveled the local PDX web (complete with our comments) for July 24th:
- OSCON 2008: Introducing the Open Web Foundation » Silicon Florist – Yes, the announcement's been all over the local tech blogs – but Rick Turoczy digs deeper & provides some context and analysis as well. Although I'm trying to wrap my head around how one can create specifications without standards…!
- Blazers could come under scrutiny for statements on Miles’ condition – Say it isn't so! Loose lips to sink Pritchard's ship here?
- Just another weekend in Beervana | An Exploration of Portland Food and Drink – Sure, everyone with even a passing acquaintance with beer is writing about the Oregon Brewers' Festival this week. But no one carries quite the authority as PFD's own Suds Sister – her detailed primer gives you all you really need to know before venturing forth.
- Oregon Liquor Control Commission – Yep. the OLCC has a brand-new blog – although it’s a bit on the dry and pedantic side. On the other hand, they’re reading and responding to comments…

Thanks so much for the link love and the kind words.
As luck would have it, one of my clients does something very similar to what the Open Web Foundation is proposing. Standards are still critically important, but its up to the foundation to do two things: 1) Make sure that existing standards are adopted and used, and 2) Push the standards bodies to define and approve standards that are being requested by the public.
It\’s very much a mediator role. And I\’m sure that the Open Web Foundation will do a fantastic job in this role.
The NBA sent information out to all 30 teams regarding Miles suspension. I doubt they are going to be able to narrow down who leaked the info and the reporter isn’t going to tell.
Just an FYI: Rick is on OPB radio right now (9-10AM) talking about Open Source. It’s also available online http://www.opb.org/thinkoutloud
Jason – Actually, if you read the linked Trib article, it tracks the comments back to Pritchard himself & cites the articles/forum posts themselves that may be questionable.
@betsy you’re 100% right. I had just finished reading Kerry Eggers article which covered similar areas on the Tribune, but wasn’t as clear at Jaynes article.
Can’t believe I fell into the Slashdot commenter trap of not following the link.
