Like Portland? Like mobile stuff? Like tech and Web stuff? Then get mobilated. Cell-webbed. Textoclicked. Cloud Four (that’s my awesome company!) is helping to organize a new Mobile Portland group, where mobile people can get together and yak it up and make great leaps in ideas for mobility. Keep an eye on Cloud Four’s blog [...]

I find myself annoyed at myself that I like another Kanye West song because the guy’s such a megalomaniac. But seriously. This video pretty much rules, and the song isn’t bad, either. Sigh.

I hate to keep denigrating poor ol’ Mr. Corsten, who is a world-renowned trance DJ, and responsible for some things that definitely make me happy, but he continues to crack me up. This installment: doesn’t translate well/dorkiness. He does a weekly show (which I listen to) called “Ferry Corsten’s Countdown”. Said radio show plays “jingles” [...]
