    My hour of Earth Hour

    Saturday, March 29th, from 8pm – 9pm, was Earth Hour. What’s Earth Hour? Watch this… Even Google got into the act by turning off the lights. (An all white web page uses about 74 watts to display, while an all black page uses only 59 watts. With +200 million queries on Google, switching from white to black would save a decent amount…

    Bum rush the Age of Conversation

    Back in January, I volunteered to contribute to the Age of Conversation 2.0. You and I were invited to vote on the subject; the winning theme ended up being, “Why don’t they get it?” To add dimension to the book, each author was asked to select one of eight topics that falls under the “why don’t people get it?”…

    Coffee with Likemind / March 28

    It’s c – o – double f – double e time. This Friday, March 28, it’s coffee with Likemind. 8:00am (I had said 8:30am before… oops!), at Stumptown Downtown (128 SW 3rd). Unfortunately, Likemind has lost their sugar-daddy (or coffee-daddy) in Anomaly, so you’ll need to buy your own beverage. Fortunately, you’ll enjoy this beverage while talking to some interesting people about…

    Logobama, Week Three

    Not sure if we’re headed into the long tail phase of Logobama, or merely a relatively quiet week before more links start pouring in. Second week of results from Logobama.com coming at you… these are cumulative numbers, not “per-week.” You can do the math if you want to figure out the per-week traffic. As of this writing, with the most recent data…

    bambu grows at bambuhome.com

    “We need to get our story told. We need to initiate more conversations, and join even more. We need to take our ‘understated authority’ and other core values and ‘put it out there.’ We need to do more of the stuff that matters more.

    Changing the world, one cupping at a time.

    Over the course of the nine years I’ve lived in Portland, I’ve become a self-admitted coffee snob. Almost a decade ago I didn’t drink the stuff. Now, I’ll sacrifice my daily caffeine fix if the coffee is crap. And despite my love for a quality cup o’ joe, I’d never been to a cupping at Stumptown. Until now. On this rainy…
