NOW FIGURING OUT WHERE TO WORKFROM FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
If you’re among the coffeeshop camping workforce in Portland, you’re probably well aware of Workfrom, the company that helps you figure out nearby places, wifi speeds and passwords, and the like.

YOU’VE GOT AN EXTRA HOUR THIS WEEKEND. MAKE GOOD USE OF IT.
Regardless of your feelings about the modern day relevance of Daylight Saving Time, it’s over this weekend. Which means—unless you happen to be visiting Arizona or something—you sort of have an extra hour this weekend. So why don’t you use that hour to complete accelerator applications? I mean, really. It’s for your own good.
