Kevin Kelley: the Big Here

Damn, I didn’t know the answer to hardly any of these questions. Granted, I’m still new to Portland, but I don’t know the answers to many more for Sheridan or Olympia. Another thing to add to the project list: learn the answers to all these questions!

Two states, two directions

Bill Graves a great front page story comparing Washington and Oregon in last Sunday’s Oregonian. The good news for Oregon:

Drawn by Portland’s strong neighborhoods, openness, affordability and proximity to wilderness, more than 40,000 young adults, many with college degrees, have poured into the city in the past 15 years.

The influx promises to boost Portland’s economy by fostering innovation and giving businesses an edge in the coming scramble for skilled workers as baby boomers retire, says Portland economist Joe Cortright.

[…]

Oregon’s sportswear, wine and semiconductor industries show promising growth. The state is making its mark in nanotechnology research and open-source software, ranks among the top 15 states in per-capita exports and ranks in the top 10 states for new patents per capita.

Oregon Live: Two states, two directions.

There was a good piece on Portland’s economy a while back in Willamette Week.

I’m in Portland

Just a quick update to let everyone know why it’s been slow… I’ve made my move to Portland. I don’t have Internet access where I’m staying, so updates may be spotty for a while.

Back

I’m back from the northwest. It was a great trip, much needed. Haven’t gotten much sleep the past few days, though. I drove 16 hours yesterday to get home from Portland, and went back to work today. It might take me a couple days to get the ball rolling again…

Much, much thanks to Fell, Jason, salaTHRUStra, and Lucifer for painting my fence guest editing the blog while I was away. There’s a lot of good stuff posted here that I’m going to have a great time reading over the next few days. One of my favorite things about doing this blog is seeing what guests bring to the table. It’s just so much fun for some reason…

Building the Underground Computer Railroad

Alameda County Computer Resource Center in Oakland, Free Geek in Portland, and a group in Los Angeles are all recycling unwanted computers and components for use for global activism or for low-income individuals. Sort of like Bikes Not Bombs, only for computers. Does anyone know of anyone other organizations doing this sort of thing?
