by Betsy Richter

Updated 12/21 to extract the live streaming couplets — thanks for your support!
I’m at 30 Hour Day — the 30 hour livestreaming telethon benefiting 3 PDX charities — up close and personal right now (well, at least for the first 12 hours or so). As part of the OurPDX sponsorship of #30HD, I’m [...]

30 Hour Day: Charity event? Or Insidious Cult of Anti-sleep?

by Metroknow

I don’t know about you, but I loves me some sleep. I really, really love it. Yeah, I’ll say it: I love sleep in…that way. Sleep? I’m so into it, dude.

by Radio Gretchen

Washington Square has long reigned as Oregon’s premier shopping center. It says so right on their website — and who am I to argue with that? So it would only stand to reason that Oregon’s premier shopping center would also have Oregon’s premier shopping center Santa, right?

(no longer) LIVE! It’s the 2nd Media Circus Extravaganza!

by Betsy Richter

…later…
As threatened, hereare the results (the ones that weren’t as blurry, anyway) of my own random iPhone crowd shots. Yes, I realize I’m probably one of the worst photographers around — but as I often say to my children: “You get what you get and you don’t pitch a fit.” Deal.

Wanted: All Crazy Neighbors

by capricious

Ah, Portland!
How I love thee and thou’st eclectic ways! Your people make you who you are, which makes living here that much more delightful. Well, when they are delightful. The bikes, Elvis, the beer (ok, not eclectic but it’s a great thing about PDX), the stores and on and on the list goes.

SLL: Get Your Geek on With Foodgeeks

by CamiKaos

In the Portland Tech community it is unheard of not to have a side project, something that you love to do but that doesn’t fit squarely into the tech industry or has nothing to do with your day job. Many of us have multiple labors of love. Ryan Snyder, creator of Foodgeeks.com is [...]

When Storytellers Go Wild

by Betsy Richter

subtitled ‘The Ignite vs. BackFence PDX Epic Clash This Thursday Night’…

Once upon a time, we used to huddle around fires at night to keep warm. In order to fool ourselves into thinking we were safe from the wilding hordes, we told stories. Lots and lots of stories.
Some people grew into master storytellers. [...]
