AUGMENTED REALITY AUGMENTS PORTLAND COLLABORATION

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times: Portland is collaborative as fuuuuuu… well, um, it’s collaborative. And while that’s super helpful for many of us, it’s always nice to see others recognize the value of that collaboration. That’s why it was awesome to see Microsoft select a group of Portland area organizations for one of its exclusive HoloLens grants.

SO YOU’RE MOVING TO PORTLAND (by Alex Payne)

A few weeks ago, the XOXO festival had its fourth year here in Portland. It took place in a close-in neighborhood on Portland’s east side – the Portland of Portlandia, the weird and genuine counterpart to the city’s moneyed and buttoned-down west side. XOXO happened around a high school that’s been converted into offices. A local grocery store chain (think a less-precious Whole Foods) is headquartered there. A startup I’m investing in rents space there too. My house is a ten minute walk away.
