THINKING ABOUT CRANKING OUT AN APP THIS WEEKEND?
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: Everyone in Portland has a side project or three. So I know you’ve had that app idea for a while. You know the one. And you’ve likely said—for the past few months—â€I’m totally going to work on that this weekend.†But you don’t. Because the complexity seems a little daunting.

WANT TO LIGHT UP OUR LIVES?
Earlier this year, the Portland Eastside Esplanade became a menagerie of strange and wonderful light filled contraptions. It was a moment in time when all of those awesome artists were given a canvas to bring a little more brightness into our dreary winter lives. And guess what? It’s happening again next year. And you can be part of it. Through the Portland Winter Light Festival.
