# memePDX 013: Ignite Portland 7, Back Fence PDX, Supercomputing 2009, ccSync, Tim O’Reilly, Wikipedia, and Obama has never tweeted

Well, well, well. It’s another Thursday. Kinda. And that means it’s time for another episode of [memePDX](http://twitter.com/memepdx "memePDX"). Lucky number 13, in fact.

So what did we cover? Well, a whole bunch of stuff. But we’ve got one favor to ask. Just pretend it’s Thursday, pre-[Ignite Portland](http://igniteportland.com "Ignite Portland") and pre-[Back Fence PDX](http://backfencepdx.com/ "Back Fence PDX"). Okay? Okay.

This week, [Cami Kaos](http://twitter.com/camikaos "Cami Kaos") and I talk about Ignite Portland 7 and Backfence PDX on the same night, [Supercomputing 2009](http://sc09.supercomputing.org/ "Supercomputing 2009"), [ccSync](http://ccsync.com/ "ccSync"), [Tim O’Reilly on the war for the Web](http://radar.oreilly.com/2009/11/the-war-for-the-web.html "Tim O'Reilly on the war for the Web"), [Wikipedia’s annual fund drive](http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Support_Wikipedia/en "Wikipedia's annual fund drive"), and [Obama has never tweeted](http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/obama_i_have_never_used_twitter.php "Obama has never tweeted"). And of course, [get well soon to MetaFilter’s Matt Haughey](http://a.wholelottanothing.org/2009/11/adventures-in-brain-tumors-part-one-of-many.html "Matt Haughey adventures in brain tumors").

Let’s get into it.
