# memePDX 016: JanRain, NedSpace, 30 hour day on KGW The Square and TreeUp TweetUp, Lala, Google, and DARPA balloons

Where has the week gone? It seems like just yesterday that we were regaling in the exploits of the Portland tech scene. Well, like it or not, it’s Thursday. And that means you get a new episode of [memePDX](http://twitter.com/memepdx "memePDX on Twitter"). It’s like fruitcake. Only less edible.

This week, [Cami Kaos](http://twitter.com/camikaos "Cami Kaos") and I discuss [JanRain’s $3.25 million](http://siliconflorist.com/2009/12/07/janrain-secures-3-25-million-series-a-funding/ "JanRain's $3.25 million"), [NedSpace](http://siliconflorist.com/2009/12/09/nedspace-partnership-oen-sao-techamerica-glimmer/ "NedSpace partnership with OEN, SAO, and TechAmerica: A glimmer of things to come?"), [30 hour day](http://30hourday.org/ "30 hour day") on [The Square](http://www.facebook.com/30hourday?v=app_2344061033#/event.php?eid=194175789289&index=1 "KGW The Square: Toy Drive Tweetup and 30 hour day") and [TreeUp TweetUp](http://30hourday.org/2009/12/treeup-tweetup/ "30 hour day TreeUp TweetUp"), [Apple buying Lala](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/05/technology/companies/05apple.html "Apple buying Lala"), Google, and [DARPA balloons](http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/12/07/mit-team-wins-darpas-balloon-spotting-contest/ "MIT Team Wins Darpa’s Balloon-Spotting Contest").

Let’s get to it.
