Portland Web Innovators Meeting

I just got back from my first Portland Web Innovators meeting -- met a great crew of people. The main topic was a free-form discussion lead by Jason and Matt about their experience working on a side project (Unthirsty, a sweet happy hour finder) that they essentially used instead of a resume to help land their current gigs at Instrument.

Here are some of the people I met:

• Jason Glaspey,  Unthirsty co-conspirator
• Matt King, Unthirsty co-conspirator
• Justin Lewis, Interactive Director at Instrument
• Adam DuVander, creator of wifiPDX
• Justin Kistner, Interactive Manager at Nemo Design (& wrote a full summary of the meeting)
• Kevin Scaldeferril, programmer at Yahoo
• Sean R., a Geek With a Laptop
