However\, there remains massive energy around Portland’s tech scene that doesn’t always find its way to the companies and individuals who can most benefit from its vita lity. We believe strongly that Portland possesses the resources and the will to take care of its own. \;\n \;\nIn this dynamic and cha llenging economic climate finding a new job can be frustrating – compani es are tending to extend fewer courtesies to job seekers and opportuniti es are harder to locate. The tools\, methods\, and resources for finding work have changed dramatically as a result of technology and the curren t recession. Identifying those organizations with the ability to guide and assist is tricky at best. Boly:Welch and YPOP are bringing together resources to help you through the process. The Pink Slip Party is a c hance to begin the discussion and make new connections between innovativ e technical professionals and resourceful business leaders. Together we can make a difference. \;\n\n\nTags: employment\, technical profes sionals\, networking\, jobs\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/event s/1250457024 URL:http://www.bolywelch.com/pink-slip-party.htm SUMMARY:Portland's Pink Slip Party LOCATION:Backspace: 115 NW 5th Ave\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090726T063527Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090726T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090726T150000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090726T063527Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160506T174933Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250457475 DESCRIPTION:Join us Sunday to continue discussion and work on the new Urb an Edibles website.

"\;It's the cool way to feel b etter."\; \;\n \;\nMarietta Harrison - Soothie Sucker's Found er\, CEO\, &\; Mom \;\nMarietta Harrison is a true "\;mompren eur."\; About 15 years ago\, before most pediatricians stopped presc ribing antibiotics for many common ailments\, Marietta lost faith in the medical community. Relying on her own research and input from friends a nd fellow parents familiar with natural medicine\, she began creating he r own herbal remedies and mixing them with fruit juices to help treat he r own children. \;\n \;\nYears later\, while brainstorming with h er husband\, musician Michael Allen Harrison\, and his sister\, they cam e up with the idea to put natural medicines into ice pops. As they began to move forward with their idea\, they were amazed at the lack of produ cts available to treat children for colds and other illnesses. Marietta' s experience with adding herbal medicines to her children's fruit juice helped them develop a great tasting and effective product - and Soothie Suckers were born. \;\n \;\nDate: Wednesday\, April 13 \;\nTim e: 5:15 PM - 7:00 PM \;\nBackspace\, 115 NW 5th Ave. Portland\, OR 97 204 \;\nOEN Member Registration: $15 \;\nNon-member Registratio n: $30 \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\n\n\nTags: pubtalk\, business\, sta rtup\, oen\, entrepreneurship\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/eve nts/1250460392 URL:http://www.oen.org/events.aspx?id=202 SUMMARY:OEN PubTalk™ featuring Soothie Suckers LOCATION:Backspace: 115 NW 5th Ave\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110306T201924Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110411T230000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110411T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110306T201924Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110411T235233Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250459880 DESCRIPTION:Part hackathon\, part geek social\, these biweekly meetings a re a time for you to come join others for insight\, inspiration or just insanity.

Two g reat and inspiring talks! \;\n \;\n#LAMOSO \;\nChristi Denton&# 13\;\n \;\nThe LAMOSO (LAsar/MOtion/SOund) is a MIDI controller\; tha t is\, it's a device that sends MIDI to my computer. MIDI is a standard music protocol that allows electronic musical instruments (e.g.\, the LA MOSO) and computers to communicate with each other. It's not audio - it' s digital data that includes values for pitch\, length\, volume\, etc.&# 13\;\n \;\nSo... the LAMOSO uses lasers and photogates to send signal s to a computer\, which then turns that data into sound. \;\n \;\n The lasers hit (or don't hit) photogates. The photogates connect to a Te ensy++\, a "\;microcontroller development system"\; (it's the co mputer chip thingy in the pictures)\, and that sends my computer data ab out whether there is or is not a laser beam light hitting the photogate. Max\, a music programming language\, is used to interpret that data int o music. \;\n \;\nVisually and musically\, what this means is that there's lasers crisscrossing an area\, and when those lasers are broken \, it changes the music. \;\n \;\n#Digital Painting \;\nJeremy Rotsztain \;\n \;\n \;\nJeremy Rotsztain writes software to gen erate digital images that closely resemble \;\npaintings. Instead of working with paints and pigments\, he prefers to use digital materials. He collects popular images from the Internet and iconic scenes from Holl ywood films -- and uses their pixels and sounds to generate entirely new \;\ncompositions. \;\n \;\nJeremy will be presenting and discu ssing two recent works: \;\n \;\n1) "\;Obsessions"\; (prin ts made from photos of adorable pets) \;\n \;\n2) "\;Action P ainting"\; (abstract expressionist animations made from high octane car chases\, violent punches\, fiery gun shots\, and sublime explosions) . \;\n \;\nOpenDork \;\nYou! \;\n \;\nAn open-mic session for those looking to show off a project\, ask a question\, solicit help \, or incite collaboration.\n\nTags: dorkbot\, dorkbotpdx\n\nImported fr om: http://calagator.org/events/1250462434 URL:http://dorkbotpdx.org/dorkbotpdx_0x09 SUMMARY:DorkbotPDX 0x09 LOCATION:Backspace: 115 NW 5th Ave\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120625T182225Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120711T190000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120711T171500 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120625T182225Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120625T182225Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462498 DESCRIPTION:Oregon continues to build on its reputation as the place to g o for artisan beer\, wine\, and spirits.
