Hey local buddies - I want to make sure that BarCamp Portland is on your radar. It's coming up next month. What's BarCamp? If you're not familiar, it's a network of technology "unconferences" held in more than 30 cities around the world, with no preset agenda. I just put together a SplashCast channel of RSS feeds for BarCamp videos on YouTube arround the world. This should give you a taste of what it's like.
I blogged more about this here.
The following are items from around the web that I want to share with readers here. You can also subscribe to a feed that delivers these items along with my blog posts. (icon)
