I stayed in the Extended Stay America in Beaverton for a couple of weeks in 2001...then I got an apartment in Portland. - Bren

I live here too! Tons of geeks, and the tech scene in the Portland area is amazing. I love it! :-) I run into Ward occasionally, but I've still never met Alex. Make sure he comes to Ignite Portland 4 in November! :-) - Josh Bancroft

Hmmm, seems like I need to move to Beaverton, Oregon myself ;-) - Bora Zivkovic

I live in Hillsboro, which butts up against Beaverton. Hillsboro is better. Ha! ;) Brad Fitzpatrick who created LiveJournal did so from Hillsboro. I believe his parents still live here. - Dawn

Yeah, I work in Hillsboro and so does my fiance (she teaches 3rd grade for the Hillsboro public school system). Hillsboro and Beaverton both seem about the same to me. Still haven't found a good Italian place in either town though. However, not very interested in driving into Portland to find one. :) - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Have you tried that Italian restaurant at Orenco? I don't remember the name of it and haven't been there in a couple of years, but it used to be pretty good. I prefer Hillsboro because it's more compact and the city cares more about parks and roads, including the landscaping of roads. Hillsboro is prettier, IMO. Of course, more than half of it is less than ten years old, so most of it is very new and still looks fresh. - Dawn

Depends on which part of Hillsboro, downtown isn't very pretty. I live near Aloha so there's lots of trees in my neighborhood. In fact that's pretty much all I see out my backyard. I'll have to give that place a try. I think I know which one it is. It's across the way from Swagath, right? - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Yep, across from Swagath, which used to be another Indian place that was actually a lot better, IMO. Have you seen downtown lately? They redid the theater there and added a coffee bar/bistro. It's very nice. The city is stepping up efforts to revitalize downtown. I'm hoping to put my business there, where the WellsFargo used to be. It's a block from the MAX train, so employess could come in from all over. - Dawn

I haven't seen that part of downtown, apparently. But I have seen some efforts to revitalize it. We are getting married at the Hillsboro Cultural Arts Center on 12/09. They did a nice job of renovating that building. And they are tearing down some of the schools and have build 3 new ones in the area. My fiance worked at Peter Boscow Elementary last year but is moving to McKinney this year as PB was closed at end of last term. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Yep, the Cultural Arts Center is very nice. Congrats to you and your fiance on your coming marriage and her new job. I hope she enjoys the new school! - Dawn

Apologies to the Hillsboro/Beaverton fans, but if you're going to live in the area, do yourself a favor and live in Portland! :) - Patrick Lightbody

That's great, but then you have to deal with higher crime, more traffic, higher taxes. You can have it. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

If it weren't for Voodoo Donuts and Kell's I'd have scant reason to go there. :) - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Beaverton, OR is nice. My wife and I are glad we settled here. It's a nice change from the cookie-cutter neighborhood we left in Chandler AZ. - Kevin Johnson via twhirl

@dwan - do you mean the Merchant of Venice at Orenco? I had the worst possible meal there - it used to be pretty good in its early days from what I hear, but right now, I tell people to stay very far away from it - Frederic

Small world but I wouldn't want to paint it - Steven Wright - Dave Martin

Nonna Emilia's near 170th an TV Hwy isn't bad for italian. nothing special, but pretty inexpensive, and MASSIVE portions. But you're right. I can't think of a really good Italian place in the area. - Josh Bancroft

Yeah, I have two criteria for what makes a good Italian place. Good gnocchi in gorgonzola creme sauce is 1. Good bruschetta (pronounced bruh-skeh-tuh for the unitiated...NOT bruh-sheh-tuh..."ch" is similar to "k" sound in Italian...you wouldn't pronounce chianti as shee-ahn-tee) is the other. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Some chichi places do bruschetta as half pieces of cherry tomatoes on crusty bread. Nothing as annoying as paying $8 for bruschetta like that...It has no flavor. Best way to do bruschetta is to chop up tomato and lots of basil together. Put oil and garlic rubbed onto toasted pieces of baguette (sourdough for extra flavor) and add a nice mound of the tomato and basil mixture. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

home of Nike. Just do it :) - Grant

if you want good Italian, you pretty much have to go downtown - Nonna Emilia is ok, but indeed nothing special (even though it tends to be packed). In Portland itself, we really like Iorio (http://www.ioriorestaurant.com...) and Fratelli (http://www.fratellicucina.com/) has some good stuff on the menu as well. - Frederic

Thanks for the suggestions, Frederic. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)

Do you tweet on Twitter? Or network on Ning? A new and growing array of tongue-twisting tools and technologies is available to help people easily interact and share information online. While it may be tempting to avoid these obscurely named technologies, there's good reason for small businesses to learn what they are and how to use them: So-called social media can help small firms to better connect with and market themselves to consumers and others in their industries. And they're often free. - Robert Seidman via Bookmarklet

Seriously, it can be used indirectly. I'm in marketing, and when our architect became an ACE, I made a point of communicating that (at the time) only about 150 people in the world had that designation. I don't know that an ACE Director designation will influence a parent's day care choices...but it sure doesn't hurt. - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
