A WHOLE LOT MORE TO LOVE: XOXO LAUNCHES CREATIVE SPACE

It only makes sense. I mean, a couple of folks who rethought the whole event experience can rethink other things. Like not only how we collaborate in short formats but how we collaborate with colleagues day after day. How we extend an ethos into a culture. How we work together. And how we support one another. And that’s why I’m incredibly excited and inspired by the new XOXO collaborative workspace in Portland.

HBO SILICON VALLEY HAS A TINGE OF PORTLANDIA

If you’re in the startup scene, you’ve probably happened across the HBO series Silicon Valley, a Mike Judge vehicle that does a great job of capturing the inanity of the startup world. For many of us, it’s a cringe inducing slice of life that is sometimes more torture than entertainment. But Series 2 episode 4 may be a little more bearable—because Portlanders contributed to it.

CAN OREGON CREATE A THRIVING VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY?

“I accepted when I first moved to Portland there wouldn’t be game jobs,” she recalled. “(I) was absorbed into the general tech community.”

That was the case for Dallas and other “triple A game refugees” for a long time. But over the last several years, that’s changed. More game developers have settled in Portland, lured by the lifestyle, affordability and opportunity to connect with other creative people.
