Not exactly the Portland hardware renaissance for which we were hoping
Portland has always boasted a diverse group of hackers in town—hardware hackers among them. And with the growing interest, affordability, and accessibility to hardware, I’m convinced that we’re poised to see hardware go through a bit of a renaissance.
Dorkbot PDX, Tindie, Thing Tuesday, Kickstarter—even corporate pursuits from Nike and Jawbone—all point to something special beginning to happen in Portland.
Putting that all aside—and I do mean way, way aside—here’s a little Friday levity that riffs on that renaissance.

Love this. Would we all agree that this is creative advertising from Oreo?
