Substance is all aTwitter
Following our "practice what we preach" philosophy, we're trying out Twitter. What is Twitter? I've heard some people call it micro-blogging... basically it's a method to let people know what you're doing, but you're limited to 140 characters. You can post a Twitter via the web or via a text message on your mobile device. People can then subscribe to your Twitter feed to receive the info as an RSS feed or as a text message to their phone. It's a one-to-many publishing technology, and you can choose how you want to receive the publication.

Stories from the Near Future.
I've been a big fan of the New Yorker ever since my wife got a subscription to the magazine six years ago. I've become so obsessed with missing something great in the magazine that I read them chronologically, cover to cover. It's resulted in reading more interesting articles that I never would have considered otherwise. My family teases me that I'm about a month behind current events because of how I read the issues (I'm currently splitting time between April 16th and April 23rd).
Coffee with Likeminds, May 18th
Quick reminder that coffee is this Friday, May 18th, at 8:00am. It’s with the Likeminds group at Stumptown on SW 3rd. Last time, we were in the back at the couches, so I imagine that’s where you’ll find all the in…
