I'm pleased to report that the first ever PDX Powerball Venture Capital fund returned earnings worthy of a Wall Street investment fund. With a generous $155 in initial capital, #powerballVC returned a stunning $9 in winnings!

Creativity Inverged: InVerge & Cre8Con 2008

Experiencing three days of purposefully and accidentally thought-provoking speakers at Portland's recent Inverge and Cre8Con conferences leaves me feeling, well, thoughtful and provoked.

For anyone engaged in the creative practices that are generating the continuing convergence of interactive media, technology and culture, Portland, Oregon will come alive next week with the convergence of both the second annual Inverge 2008 Thu-Fri 4-5 Sep at the Gerding Theater and Cre8Con, Sat 6 Sep at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, not to mention the concurrent MusicFestNW, the Time-Based Art Festival and the only slightly more regular First Thursday.

After my first 1,000 tweets on twitter, I've generated this tweetcloud:

Not so long ago, someone (Chris O'Rourke? Scott Kveton?) coined the term portvangelist and spawned a not-your-grandpa's Chamber of Commerce movement to match the term.

Some joker posted an absurd, spurious and probably apocryphal profile of me on Portland on Fire.

If I find out who it is, I'll flood their twitterstream ;)
