CRAFT YOUR OWN ARTISANAL LIGHTSABER

Oh sure. You claim to be a Jedi. You may know the ways of the force. But can you build your own lightsaber, smarty pants? “I can’t find the right crystals,” you say. “I don’t know how to forge the hilt components.” Blah blah blah. Quit your whining. Now, you can build your own artisanal handcrafted lightsaber like any self respecting Portland Jedi should.

MONITORAMA IS IN TOWN

Event season is in full swing. Next week marks the second year where Portland serves as host for Monitorama, an open source monitoring conference and hackathon. Unfortunately, it’s already sold out. But let’s not dwell on that half empty glass. There will be a bunch of interesting folks in Portland speaking and attending the event.
