		<description><![CDATA[The launch of Google Maps' "Bike There" feature has been a pretty big deal in Portland. After poking around on it a bit, Joseph Rose from the Oregonian asked his Twitter followers if it seemed a little "beta" to them. I replied that it was "very beta" and was even published, though my follow-up tweet wasn't published and my real point was lost. It wasn't until I was on a long ride over the weekend that I realized exactly why the Bike There feature felt beta to me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s become a dirty world in the creative community. &#8220;Crowdsourcing&#8221; often means a business has chosen to ask all-comers to submit responses to the businesses request – be it a logo, web site design, or engineering design for NASA&#8217;s next space shuttle – with no guarantee of pay or selection of their submitted work.

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s Portland design community buzz on Twitter is the City of Portland&#8217;s decision to make a design contest out of the Portland Online website. Many of us reviewed the RFP released for project last month and found the budget lacking ($10-20k for a 140,000 page site? Right.), which may explain why they&#8217;re moving forward with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve never been a fan of parades. For one, I&#8217;m only 5&#8242;2&#8243; and can never see the floats and marching groups from behind that Really Tall Guy Who Always Stands In Front Of Me. Plus I don&#8217;t care for large crowds. But every year I make an exception for the gay pride parade, because it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday I had the excellent opportunity to talk to interactive industry colleagues about something near and dear to my liver heart – homebrewing. I served five kinds of homebrew to warm up the crowd, then dropped an amazing 17 minutes of blabbing about beer on their unwitting ears. People were kind enough to laugh [...]]]></description>

Now, I&#8217;m a native lowlands northwester and never learned to drive in the snow, so I&#8217;m not sure what excuse all you transplants from the midwest and east coast [...]]]></description>

You can&#8217;t take a gift like this and stay inside in the Pacific Northwest. No! It&#8217;s an imperative to get outside, recharge, enjoy the weather and get some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been lucky over the years to work for companies and in offices that allow me to bring my dog to work. Portland is definitely a dog-oriented town and having pooches in the office seems like a right and not a perk for many people. At past jobs, I knew things were really going downhill [...]]]></description>

I drove to work once, to Lake Oswego for a meeting, to Powell Butte for a hike, and to Hillsboro for softball games. That&#8217;s a lot more driving than I usually do, so I&#8217;ll have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to be a bus commuter. It was better than trying to drive to work in bumper-to-bumper traffic then have to pay for parking, and at least I could read while I sat (or stood) in a cramped bus. Depending on where I worked at the time, my commute took from 30 – 60 [...]]]></description>
