…so here’s the letter I wrote to all the members of Portland’s City Council who voted unanimously to rename SE 39th Ave to Cesar Chavez Blvd.

So what do we do, tech community in Portland? With our Beer and our Blogs and our Camps and our Conferences, how do we work this out?
First and foremost, in my last post it was mentioned that CubeSpace, a Portland hub of community, will be closing at the end of this week. Since they will [...]

Subject: It’s End of CubeSpace as We Know It….
Friends,
It is with deep sadness that Eva and I announce that CubeSpace will be closing its doors on Friday, June 12, 2009. During the past two weeks of negotiations, we have very much appreciated the support from all of [...]
