SLL: Dude, Where’s My Newspaper?

by CamiKaos

On a Saturday morning in the brick and mortar home of an ink and print newspaper about 100 people will gather.  Some of them will be journalists, some bloggers and some lurkers.  They’ll all have one important thing in common, the desire to see how the news medium is evolving in the digital age.
Digital Journalism [...]

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?

by A. L. Venable

In a few days, I will be in the land of Pitchfork Media, hot dogs with day-glo colored relish, and the extremely scary skydeck attached to the Sears Tower — Chicago — to attend the 2009 BlogHer Conference. Last month, I met up with a group of women at Posies Cafe to put faces to [...]

Following Her Bliss

by morganpdx

Sometimes an idea takes a life of its own, and you become its willing vessel. Sometimes stories need to be told. Sometimes you need to follow your bliss, wherever it takes you.
Even if it takes you to Denmark.
I recently sat down with my good friend and fellow OurPDX author Michelle Anderson to talk [...]

As you know, Dave Chappelle was in Portland yesterday (and may still be here for all I know.) From what I understand, he made a quip which turned into a rumor and by 11:30 last night, about 4000+ people were in Pioneer Courthouse Square, patiently awaiting his arrival. Wizardboots [...]

ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW DESIGN CONTEST FOR PDX CREATIVES

by Metroknow

(also known informally as the “Ass Redesign ‘09″ Contest)
This, is my butt.
As you can plainly see, it needs work. I mean, just look at it…the design is dated and flabby, the navigation is unclear, and the usability apparently sucks, or so I’ve been told. You don’t EVEN want to know what’s under the hood.
So why [...]

THE ED FORMAN SHOW!!!

by wizardboots

Those searching for the greatest entertainment value on a Tuesday night need look no further….THE ED FORMAN SHOW features brilliant live improvisational comedy and is best described as a sort of sleazy 70’s style talk show. Ed and his accomplices have been performing the show at Dante’s (3rd & Burnside downtown) every Tuesday for [...]

Happy Fourth of July!

by djtv

This morning I kept seeing flashes of kids with all kinds of red, white and blue racing in the same direction. I stopped some of them and snapped their photo to find out what was going on. Turns out the local elementary school was having a Fourth of July Parade. It made me feel like [...]

What’s In A Name?

by CamiKaos

As I look around the city and see new construction stretching from bustling downtown to sleepy little neighborhoods I can’t help but wonder how each place is going to draw the attention of the masses.  Get a foothold.  Take a step forward and get noticed.  The responsible (and fashionable) way to do it is to [...]
