OREGON STORY BOARD APPLICATIONS ARE DUE MAY 17

Well, would you look at that. You waited. And you waited. And you waited. You thought about it. You almost started it. And then you got sidetracked. Or you got timid. Why should I apply? Is my idea good enough? What if I’m not what they’re looking for? So you put it off. With the hopes that you would—oopie—miss the application period all together. Nice try. Oregon Story Board applications have been extended until May 17, 2015.

SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD SWINGS BY PORTLAND

If you haven’t had the chance to hear Saul Colt speak, you’re missing out. I honestly can’t say enough nice things about the guy. And his incredibly creative way of viewing the world enables him to create really interesting ways of engaging with communities—on a shoestring. Which makes his special brand of thinking perfect for startups.

DROPLR MAKES FILE SHARING CHEAPR. AS IN FREE.

In this day and age, we’re constantly sharing stuff. Files, articles, screenshots, videos. Share share share. All this content to spread around. So it’s nice to have tools like Droplr to help with that sharing. Just drag and drop and you’ve got a link. Or just grab a screenshot and fire it off. And now, Droplr just got better. As in cheaper.
